Re: let me know "Grab Some Pine Meat" means. yeah, what croix said
I assume the Bench used to be made of pine wood
and Meat is put down, like you are a brainless object "meat" instead of a human
so "Grab Some Pine Meat" would kinda translated to "Sit Down You Loser"

GRAB SOME PINE An instruction to take a seat on the bench. Origin: This has long been common. ``I bet the first time I ever heard it was my third day of organized baseball from a guy named Q.V. Lowe,'' Krukow said.
Side note -- The initials stood for nothing; it was Q.V.'s full first name, as evidenced by his driver's license, which read: ``Q (only) V (only).'' Krukow recalled, ``He got stopped one time by a good ol' boy Alabama state trooper, who looked at the license and said, `Qonly Vonly? What the hell kind of name is that?' ''
--- Hamels started toward the dugout after what he thought was a strike. Lincecum didn't get the call & buzzed ump Dana DeMuth w. a fastball that slammed off the backstop & then froze Hamels w. another 3rd strike. 4/28/10 Timmy the ump killer.
