You Know, The Red Soxes? The Famous Soccer Team?

Ahh, sports cliches. Just like cake wrecks, they may talk a good game:

...but they're rarely a slam dunk:

And if they don't always bat 1000,

...well, that's just par for the course.
(Or rather, "poo for the course.")

Besides, when the gloves come off?

Well, let's just say they are really, REALLY off.

Talk about a curve ball, how many fingers are on that thing?

Here's one way out of left "feild."

Ooooh, swing and a miss.

Well, wreckerators, what can I say? The ball's in your court.

And that's a whole lot of dribblin'. Just saying.

So remember, bakers, keep your eye on the ball, step up to the plate, be a team player, and most importantly, be sure to celebrate Sports Cliché Week with a real knockout cake.

And thanks to Kristi S., Jessica S., Julie Anne, Kara S., L, Elizabeth B., Laura M., & Angela J. for challenging me to keep the ball jokes to a minimum for once. IT WASN'T EASY, lemme tell ya.
