Top Ten Reasons Big Z wasn't available for his MRI

just kidding, haha.

My reason: As is often the case with new members, he signed up for BCB and was hooked to the PC all day long!

He went to Millenium Park to challenge Michael Phelps to a swim-off.

Scrappy: How I Became a Major League Shortstop, by Ryan Theriot

He was looking for Theriot’s fielding and base running skills.

Unfortunately they are proving nearly impossible to find.

He went to visit the Tampa Rays and to see what NOT to do as they implode

He was getting treatment for another bruise on his leg from breaking a bat over it.

He was at the grocery store picking out bananas to eat on the day off.

He was visiting Prince Fielder – giving him diet & hitting advice

He was at City Hall legally changing his name to Tres Ocho.

He was at Bears camp giving it a try at QB. He watched Grossman and Orton and knows he can do better!

He was working out at first base to play when he doesn’t pitch and/or teaching DLee how to hit homeruns.

Busy hanging out with Mark Prior

I just e-mailed my own Top 10 list on this same subject to a friend at work. Guess we could all use a laugh or two today, huh?

10. Got lost on the way there.

9. Accidentally went to outdoor superstore REI instead.

8. Love of Wile E. Coyote cartoons as a child instilled deep-seated fear of giant magnets.

7. Had to make a right turn to get there, shoulder discomfort prevented it.

6. Carl Everett convinced him MRIs don’t exist. "Nobody ever saw magnetism," Everett was quoted as saying.

5. Zambrano asked to use doctor’s computer to Photoshop MRI to remove damage to shoulder, used mouse, destroyed elbow.

4. Milwaukee Brewers appealing results of MRI, official scorer’s decision to be determined Friday.

3. Rich Harden told him to wait his turn.

2. Mike Downey texted him in a panic asking him to hold off one more day, since he had a killer Tom Cruise joke he wanted to use.

And the # 1 reason Carlos Zambrano missed his MRI yesterday: Six words: Boneless Wednesdays at Buffalo Wild Wings.

I came up with this the other day and was waiting for a place to put it.

the reason Z wasn’t available for his MRI was because he’s been working on my campaign. It’s a real grassroots movement, and Z has been instrumental in getting it off the ground. He’s been my webmaster and used his chat-room prowess to really get my name out there! I hope I can count on BCB to support me, and I’m looking forward to serving you!

I’m Santos Woodenlegs, and I approve this message.

and I understand the passions on both sides of the issue. This is an example where good people can disagree, but the question then is, are there areas that we can agree to that everybody can get behind? I say yes.

For his simulated game on Thursday

In an effort to put him back on the winning track and boost his ego

I hear he’s also a big fan of Lori Loughlin from her Full House days.

Noticed this was posted at Yahoo’s Big League Stew 1 minute before this post went up.

Seems everyone has one today.

Collective thank you to all above. Not been an easy day today and you’ve given me some chuckles.

because he was trying to see Mark Proir still had his MRI discount card (the one that says buy 5 MRI’s and the 6th is free)
