Holy shit, check out McCullers bruise from the champagne incident…

The elbow guard isn’t as funny any more

You posted last night a shutdown bullpen should be able to handle the last three innings. Nine up, nine down. You were spot on.

Damn.

Lance is a tough sumbitch.

Recall he pitched out of the pen in '18 after it was determined he’d need TJS.

Exactly one week ago a friend of mine said he saw McCullers walking around his neighborhood and that “his right arm was wrapped with something.” I decided not to dwell on it, but it turned out to be more serious than I’d imagined.

This is the guy who works for one of the team’s minority owners, by the way.

I’ve got a hell of a lot of experience with wine bottles (both full and empty). I’m still trying to figure how McCullers did this.

My guess is probably either throwing his arms up or backwards and someone was holding the bottle either fat side out or down and he caught his elbow on it.

But regardless, fucking ouch!

While someone behind Lance was holding a bottle by the neck and vigorously shaking the bottle.

Somehow Sparks had to be involved

It was champagne, so there was probably some French foo foo arm thing going on. He’d never have done that with a cab.

My first thought on seeing that is “He’s Lance McCullers of the Clan McCulloch! FREEDOM!!!”

There is no sex in the champagne room

I think you’re conflating Highlander and Braveheart here. But I am assuming that you did so in a more authentic Scottish accent than either of those movies’ leads.

Sir, this is a Denny’s.

I’m more Scottish than either Christopher Lambert or Mel Gibson.

So, your average (empty) bottle of Champers is ~ 3lbs. It can definitely do some damage on its own. But looking at that bruise, did someone his arm as batting practice??

If you are a Scottish lord then I am Mickey Mouse
