You judgemental bastiches.  These are not the kinds of songs a wife beating hillbillly would sing.

Kegerator has got to be one hell of a tune. 

[QB Eagles]

Considering that he's been married forever, odds are high that "Chasing Tail" is about hunting and full of double entendres that only someone with a confederate flag on his truck would find funny.

[PhillyPhreak54]

And truck nuts. Don't forget truck nuts.

[QB Eagles]

I have to admit that truck nuts do get a chuckle out of me when I see them. They are over the top enough that I can fool myself that there is at least a chance they are a form of self-parody. Same with coaling.

[PhillyPhreak54]

I saw some truck nuts that looked like a real nut sack with skin wrinkles and all

Rednecks are an interesting species...

Heyman is saying that a Byrd to the Reds deal is nearing completion

Byrd owed $8M in 2015 and has $8M vesting option for '16. #Phillies expected to send significant cash to #Reds in trade.

Sounds like they'll get a pitcher named Ben Lively in return

[Munson]

Well Rube made the trade, so I doubt his arm is lively.

[Rome]

zing!

[Don Ho]

Rim shot!

Happy New Year!

Lively turns 23 in March. He was a fourth round pick of the Reds in 2013 out of the University of Central Florida. He's 13-11 with a 2.58 ERA in 39 starts across two minor league seasons. He's not a top prospect — he walks a tad too many batters — but he does have the potential to be a mid-level big league starter.

[Rome]

If someone had told me this time last year they'd have gotten as much out of Byrd on the field as they did last year, PLUS got a halfway decent prospect for him this offseason, I'd have said, well... you know.
