Stupid Stuff

[DOUGHBOYS]

Just some stupid stuff....

'Devin Mesoraco (hip) expects to be ready to catch on the first day of spring training.'

You know when a hard rock group sings a ballad and cigarette lighters were pulled?
The reaction from Mesoraco's owners were just as quick with the middle finger to the computer screen when reading this...

'Jonathan Lucroy singled off the bench and played first base Thursday against the Cardinals.'

What the Hell was a bench doing in fair territory?

'Evan Longoria went 3-for-4 with a solo homer and a double versus the Red Sox on Thursday.
Longoria hasn't nearly reached his past heights this year, but at least he seems to have arrested his decline.'

Translated- Longoria sucked, but he didn't suck as bad as he could have sucked.

'The Yankees announced Thursday that Masahiro Tanaka (hamstring) will throw a bullpen in the coming days'

How in the Hell do you throw a bullpen?

'Cardinals sent 1B Xavier Scruggs outright to Triple-A Memphis.
The 28-year-old has struggled to put consistent at-bats together of flash any sign of power in his limited chances at the big league level. He was designated for assignment earlier in the week, but passed through waivers unclaimed and will continue to provide organizational depth for the Cardinals.'

Ugh. Is there anything worse for a hopeful Major Leaguer than being called 'organizational depth'?
In a wallet with a hundred dollar bill, a fifty, a twenty, a ten, and five, Xavier Scruggs is the one dollar bill....

'Carter Capps (elbow) threw 20 pitches in a simulated game on Thursday.'

So what? He played a video game. Big deal.

'James Paxton was lifted from Thursday's start in the second inning due to a torn fingernail on his pitching hand.'

Two questions-
Who carried him?
And why does a guy need to be carried when it was just a fingernail.

Some Stadiums need to be renamed. Right now, teams take the most money, whoring themselves into calling the Stadium by the name of the highest bidder. When doing this, teams should at least look for names that fit.
For example, the Oakland A's do not like being in Oakland.
There is a small business whose name would fit perfectly.
'Ace in the Hole'
If said fast, or without thinking, it would come out 'A's in the Hole'.

How do the Mets not seek out 'MetLife' for the name of their stadium?

Add green to the Giants colors, and their field becomes 'Jolly Green Giants Stadium'

'Coors' would change to 'Kool Aid'....
Guaranteeing that the Rockies would have at least one pitcher.

Seemingly afraid to win and keeping their seaworthy name, the Mariners would play in 'Chicken of the Sea Stadium'.

CheeriO's is a natural for Baltimore's Stadium.

And completing the circle of life for Greg Ambrosius, the Brewers have Corona as their choice of 'brew'.
'Corona Park' would sound like Heaven for Greg.
Of course, the drawback remains that he would have to watch the Brewers

...sorry in advance
