OK, so it's the bottom of the ninth in the 7th game of the ws...

Lou has Z pinch hit for Pie. He hits a double. Lilly pinch runs for Z (they pitcced the previous two days to even the series at 3 games each, both on one day’s rest.) Sori hits a ground ball to the second baseman and Lilly never slows down at third and scores the game winning run by knocking the Angel’s catcher into next Tuesday. (Well, it couldn’t be the bottom of the ninth in game 7 because of Bud’s stupid ASG rules but whatever.)

Ted Lilly is so fast

he hit a single up the middle and the ball hit him in the head sliding into second

Nice.

I much prefer these than the rehashed Chuck Norris quotes.

Somebody once said Ted Lilly chose the number 30 cos that’s when he lost his virginity. Ted merely laughed, patted the lad on the shoulder, and stated that 30 was simply the age when he slept with the last woman alive on the planet. He then ate the man’s soul and remarked, “Onto Mars.”

Thanks!

Not bad!

Ted Lilly doesn’t start beanball wars, he ends them.

Ted Lilly does not mow his lawn.

He walks out into the middle of it and every blade of grass immediately beheads itself.

Ted Lilly is so scary

that the fear of facing him on Tuesday cause the astros to not get a hit on Monday.

Ted Lilly once intuitively knew he had dialed a wrong number…

… even though the person on the other end refused to admit it.

...because the guy on the other line knows,

as everyone knows, that Ted Lilly doesn’t make mistakes.

No

Actually somehow the person on the line became the person Ted was trying to reach by magic!

Other teams do not have rosters.

Just a list of players Ted Lilly allows to live.

There were no survivors within a 3 mile radius

Ted Lilly's curveball...

…circles the Earth twice before it lands in the strike zone.

Ted Lilly

doesn’t get Rick Rolled. He leads with his left shoulder, and rolls Rick.

Ted Lilly is so manly

He makes The Rock look like a pansy

If the world didn't suck we would all fall off.

Doctrs extracted a sample of Ted Lilly's testosterone and injected in into a catcher

The catcher collapsed and hasn’t gotten up since.
