Guy: "I was listening to the game on the radio, caulking a door, and they're up 6-1. I finish caulking the door and they give up 5 runs. I looked for another door to caulk, but once I figured out which one I could do, they ended up walking in the winning run. I think for the next game, I just need to build a new house. They should win by like 3 runs."
