Game called on account of birds

"The bump, a simple touching of elbows, is a substitute for the filthy practice of shaking hands..."

This is going to play hell with high-fives and fist-knocking. Everyone's going to be throwing elbows and getting Tommy John surgery.

Call Dave Winfield and he'll nail 'em with throws from the OF.

And I guess the Sea Hag (is that term still used here?) can take care of what's left.

Worked for a while too. The fans even created a substitute for high fives which involved energetically tapping elbows with your neighbor.  It looked like 45,000 people doing the chicken dance after every homerun.  But then the Playoffs started and Bud made them open the roof.  First one sparrow alighted on the guy up in section 405, then a flock of swans, egrets, and even some highly annoyed pen raised quails flew in.  Pretty soon, everyone is sick.  Most barely made it down Crawford, some succumbed while waiting at the check out counter of The Shed.

This sounds like Sheriff Blaylock's handiwork.

The second move would be to have Jack Bauer torture the birds to find out who they were working for.

Hell, he'd find the source in 24 hours.

This was all started by that damn eagle who refused to fly unless the roof was closed.

When I was a kid, my mom taught my brothers and I to sneeze into our arms or elbow for the exact reason given in the article. I continue to do it to this day. If this elbow bump catches on, I wonder if they'll want me to stop doing that.
