The Dugout: Meet the Daigles

Several days ago, With Leather’s editor was enough of a women’s softball nerd to report that Majorish League pitcher Casey Daigle and Olympic gold medalist Jennie Finch had given birth to their second son and named him like a minor league mascot. It’s been a slow news week (with the biggest story so far being about thirty seconds of O.J. Simpson killing his wife) so Baby Name-Gate has started to circulate and was a top headline today on Yahoo News.

As one of the first sports blogs to report the story, I feel it is my responsibility to reveal my source. That source is a fictionalized version Ms. Finch herself, and I’m proud to reproduce here the chat transcript I observed. After you’re done, come back to the main page and refresh, because I’ve got a story going up about Cat Osterman naming her newborn “Dog”.

Today’s Diesel Dean Daigle Dugout dollows. Follows.

The Dugout

FinchWhatYouStarted: Casey, I need to go to the hospital.

DaiglebahSystem: why, what did the dodgers fans do to you, HOW MANY OF THEM DID IT, I SAW IT, IT WAS A BLACK GUY
FinchWhatYouStarted: No, stupid, I’m pregnant. I have to go to the hospital.

DaiglebahSystem: you’re pregnant?? since when

FinchWhatYouStarted: Remember like four or five years ago when you showed up for a few days, and you did an okay job but nobody really cared or noticed
DaiglebahSystem: no
FinchWhatYouStarted: Well, since then, more or less
DaiglebahSystem: Wow you’ve been pregnant for four years?
FinchWhatYouStarted: it was God’s will, and on top of that I’ve got an extremely long torso.
FinchWhatYouStarted: So can you take me to the hospital, please? Sort of important
DaiglebahSystem: sure, just let me grab my /gets traded away to Florida
FinchWhatYouStarted: well sh*t
