And I gauran-fuckin'-tee you this; when I pitched and I was gonna pitch against a team that had guys on it like Bevacua, I'd send a fucking limosine to pick that cocksucker up and make sure he was in the motherfuckin' line-up, 'cus I'd kick that cocksucker's ass any day of the week. He's a fuckin' motherfuckin' bigmouth, I'll tell you that.
