The pig isn't hoping to get off the bench or boost his batting average or up his slugging percentage.
Don't let the bat, cap, and jersey fool you. The slump he's talking about has nothing to do with baseball.
Ever since his sow-and-teat days, this pig's been an also-ran. No challenges gracefully faced and bested, no successes racked up in the ledger of his life. But it's all about to change. When he is transformed into ribs, chops, and the rest, everything will be different.
You see, the slump is his life, and the barbecue's about to bust it. Wide open. This is the big league. Pig's waited for years, hoping for this break.
You'd wonder he could hold his little arm out, with his ribs on a plate an' all.
