Vince Lascheid must be turning bitter, and we pass the savings on to you.

I've often enjoyed the quiet sarcasm of Pirates' and Penguins' stadium organist Vince Lascheid, but if the report we had today was true, he's outdone himself this time.

Apparently, an email to today's Dan Patrick Show noted Lascheid had put it to Viagra pitchman Rafael Palmiero, during the interleague game on Sunday.

For his first at bat, Palmiero got the classic BOINNNNGGGG noise.
For his second at bat, Palmiero was announced to the tune of Pop Goes the Weasel.
For his third turn at the plate, it's the Woody Woodpecker show.

I hope it's true, this is by far the best thing since Vince played Pat Meares off of the team to what I swear had to be the stirring sounds of Terence and Philip's song from the South Park movie.

This also means we're one step closer to Carlos Febles being announced in a future interleague game to the theme from "Meet the Feebles." Which probably, if I were at the stadium, would be the largest subreference single* in history.

(*Subreference single: a subreference understood by only one person in the group of people you tell it to.)
