Joke for the Day

Here's a little joke I thought of this morning after watching the HR derby last night on my tivo.  Funny side note, the tivo only caught up through Hamilton's first round since it went on so long!

Q:  How can you tell that Dusty Baker loves the Home Run Derby?

A:  All the HRs are solo shots!

Alt A:  He left an old pitcher with zero stuff (I think Jeff Fassaro was pitching to Josh Hamilton) in way too long with no one warming up!

"It’s like they have 40,000 players on one team. Forty thousand people want to be in the dugout slapping fives. ‘Passionate’ is an understatement. Fans like that are special." -- Giants LHP Alex Hinshaw on Wrigley Field

I would have preferred a commentary about “performance enhancing drugs” and Josh Hamilton.

Braun

I think that Braun would’ve had a better chance if he brought Eric Gagne with him, since he throws those grooved balls in real games all the time.

Yea, not really a joke, but it is funny

How sick am I that the phrase

“grooved balls” made me want to look up Pie’s stats over the last week.
