the sausage speaks
hspace=5>As quoted on SportsCenter, 18-year-old Italian Sausage Mandy
Block had this to say about getting hit by a Pirates baseball bat-wielding
player:
"It's crazy... I'm just a sausage running a race. So, I never expected all
this hoopla."
"I do kind of feel bad that all this is happening to him (Simon), like
he's this big crazy guy. I'm sure he's not. And he's supposed to call and
apologize and give me a bat. So I'm really excited and... I hope
everything ends soon and all this will be forgot then. It's not that big a
deal."
"All my friends called me. They're like, 'Mandy that was you,' because
they know I'm the Italian Sausage. 'Those were your little legs trying to
get up.' Yep, that was me guys."
"They all thought I was in the hospital. They all thought I was like
severely hurt. And like, I'm not, I was in a huge stuffed sausage.
(giggle) I'm fine! (giggle)"
"I would definitely run the race again, just not next to the visitors' dug
out, of course."
Oy. Like, great Mandy. Like maybe you could, like, speak normally?
Actually, for a Wisconsinite, she was speaking very intelligently. Nice
job, Mandy. :D
