Say It Ain't So, Joe
Randall: I don't appreciate your ruse, ma'am.
Customer: My what?
Randall: Your ruse. Your cunning attempt to trick me.

"Welcome back to Detroit," Buck said. "A lot of banners and signs around the ballpark. No surprise there. Somebody just unfurled a big banner behind left field."
You'll love the next bit, as Buck devolves into a second grader.
"H-H-R-Y-A. Tim, you'll have to tell me what that means. I am not sure, but someone went to a lot of trouble, obviously, to put it up out in left center field."
You'd think that would be the end of the stunt, but no. Fox returned to the action to see baseball's best pitcher Roy Oswalt face off against Johnny Damon. After one pitch, McCarver brought all the weight of his formidable intellect to bear on the puzzle:
"I don't know what that sign means, but 'hooray' is the first thing that comes to my mind."
Funny you should mention that, Tim. Hooray is exactly the sound Fox executives made as they cashed their checks from the largest advertiser of the day.
