August 24, 200520 yr Ok then; A batboy who chugged a gallon of milk in an effort to win a $500 bet with Brad Penny has been suspended by the Marlins. The kid drank the milk in the alotted time frame (an hour), but couldn't hold it down, thus losing the bet. Now that he's been suspended, we're guessing the players will take care of him, as it sounds like he provided them at least $500 worth of entertainment during the ordeal. Penny is not happy with the suspension, and has a good point. ''It's kind of ridiculous that you get a 10-game suspension for steroids and a six-game suspension for milk,'' Penny said.

August 24, 200520 yr That's f***ed up. Where was a bat boy gonna get $500.00? What kind of a f***ball makes that kind of bet with a kid? Where's Penny's suspension?
August 24, 200520 yr Sounds like it was more of a deal than a bet. You chug this milk, and we'll give you $500. It said he provided $500 worth of entertainment, so they must've paid him the money. On another note, I wouldn't recommend doing the gallon challenge. My buddy did it last year and he was sore for about a day. He was about a sip away from doing it before he "lost" it. The sound was funny, though, as it sounded like someone dumped a bucket of water into the toilet.
August 24, 200520 yr That is hilarious... Although you also have to feel for the kid... I can't even chug two glasses without throwing up... I can't imagine trying a gallon...

I love milk, don't drink it by the gallon, but it's never made me sick. Must be a guy thing..

August 24, 200520 yr I drank 2/3 of a gallon in 20 minutes. I couldn't go on, and eventually it came back up. :puke

I don't know why at all. He said his muscles hurt and it was almost like his bones hurt. He's not the brightest, though, as evidenced by the fact that he said he's going to try it again this year.

August 24, 200520 yr I believe you physically can't goldmember, that's why its a sucker bet. Stupid suspension though. Sounds like simple dugout fun. When did this happen if it was Penny and the Marlins. Was it when the Dodgers just played them?
August 24, 200520 yr You guys should spend a summer on a trading floor. This stuff happens all of the time when people with money get bored. I remember seeing someone try to eat 20 Big Macs in an hour, 60 recies cups in an hour, this same milk stunt, hold a CBOE rules and regs book over their head for 45 minutes, and many many people getting tails.
August 24, 200520 yr The average stomach only can hold 2 liters or 6 cups of food/liquid at one time.

August 24, 200520 yr QUOTE(Goldmember @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 02:25 PM) i could do that bet with ease. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Go ahead and try. I thought I could do it with 1%, but the problem is when you start burping it hurts your chest and you can feel the milk trying to come up.

August 24, 200520 yr Yeah that's really stupid. I've dranken half a gallon in 5 minutes and I didn't feel anything, but I've never tried the second half before.

My friend is a big boy, and he couldn't do it, though he came close. This same kid ate 5 whoppers with everything in an hour and drank something like 8 cups of pop a minute or two. EDIT: And he ate breakfast about an hour before the whoppers and ate a big dinner later in the day. Edited August 24, 200520 yr by Milkman delivers

If I eat even a smidge too much I am lethargic the rest of the day and the thought of eating makes me sick.
August 24, 200520 yr i can't even get through a big mac/whopper/any burger from mcdonald's or burger king without feeling sick halfway through it.
