Create-a-Caption: Dude? The saddest sports picture ever

By 'Duk

Judging from the ol' email inbox, some of you are jonesin' for another Create-a-Caption. With apologies for a delay due to Opening Day festivities, here's a real challenge for you fiends: A picture from Tuesday night's Tigers-Blue Jays game which featured NO BEER at Rogers Centre because of past liquor license violations. What you'll come up with from inanimate beer taps and basically nothing else, I have no idea. But I'm looking forward to it. 

So have at it, amateur Internet copy editors of the world. How should this caption read?

Follow the jump for winners from last week's ax-smashing C-a-C with Bernie Williams:

Bernie Williams mad! Bernie Williams smash!

1st — Jon W. 

"I said play like SLASH on the guitar, not SMASH the guitar!"

2nd — Eurometal. 

"Season Legends Suites holders find out that alcohol is not included in the complimentary amenities."

3rd — Brian P. 

"Bernie smashes guitars equally well from the left and right sides of the plate."

    I thought the 10 dollar premium cans, 9.50 domestic cans was the sad part

    After charging $9.50 for a can of beer failed, the Blue Jays resort to new, drastic measures to prevent fans from enjoying the game.

    Realizing that the Rays, Red Sox and Yankees weren't contracted, the Blue Jays close up shop for the season one night after opening day.

    Remaining unrepentant for unleashing both Bryan Adams and Celine Dion upon the world, Canada continues to alienate by removing beer from America's Pasttime.

    Oh, and by the way, they don't like peanuts either in Canada, apparently.

    Resource-saving efforts will prohibit alcohol from being served in Toronto; fans looking to depress their Central Nervous Systems will be encouraged to watch Canadian Baseball.

    I would think it was a stimulus package for the fans. At the cost of beer at the ballparks, they saved enough to get an 18 pack on the way home.

    The Blue Jays find their ban of alcohol is the best way to keep a visiting Mike Cameron off his game.

    The 2009 season opened contentiously in Rogers Centre of all places. Unruly behavior by fans contributed to the ban of alcohol as the Stadium put the "Screws To The Brews" during the "Messin' With Recession" marketing campaign.

    Toronto Officials were relieved the Jays won the first two games of the new 2009 season, as there were no signs of mutiny yet on the faces of unjolly Rogers attendees forced to chase their Mr. Subs with soft drinks and milk.
