Some of my favorites:

 

 

 

April 29: With the bases loaded for the Red Sox and only one out in the seventh inning of the Yankees' home game against Boston, Alex Rodriguez calls for an infield meeting at the mound so he can pass Derek Jeter a note that reads: "Will u b my bff? YES/no/maybe."

 

May 29: White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen has a bit of a meltdown before a game against the Twins, submitting a lineup to the home-plate umpire with nothing but profanities and racial and homophobic slurs written in place of player names.

 

 

July 18: David Ortiz comes through in the clutch again by pushing Manny Ramirez away a moment before Ramirez tries to lick the clubhouse stove.

 

September 20: Instead of facing Albert Pujols with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth inning, Astros closer Brad Lidge just turns around and throws the ball over the left field fence.

 

September 30: Manny Ramirez pulls teammate David Ortiz aside in the locker room, points at Daisuke Matsuzaka and asks: "Who is the funny-talking new guy?"

June 22: Tony La Russa passes out during the eighth inning of a tight game against the Phillies, thereby allowing his left-handed reliever to stay in the game and pitch to two right-handed batters. Upon learning what he allowed to happen upon waking up, La Russa vows to never drink again.

whats with the Maddux urination thing?

[BCVM22]

whats with the Maddux urination thing?

 

Supposedly, Maddux is a real funny guy in the showers and enjoys urinating upon the legs of unsuspecting rookies.

 

"Maddux? For a guy with a CPA's demeanor, he has a sense of humor that a 12-year-old would envy. Maddux is a master of strategically timed nose picking, sidling up to an unsuspecting rookie in the shower and urinating on the kid's leg, and inventing just the right nickname for a teammate with big ears, a prominent schnozz or some other pronounced physical qualities."

I read it as boy friend forever. It's been like 20 years since i was in middle school, so I'm not "down" with the note-passing abbreviations

FYI, the standard joke making the rounds is about ARod being desperate for people, especially Jeter, to like him. He's said some things that can be construed as being sad that he has no friends.

He's making 27 million new little friends this year alone. Cheer up, Arod. Don't be so fickle. :)

April 16: Former Cubs ace Mark Prior earns his way out of Triple-A Iowa by blowing out his shoulder.

 

haha. four days late.

[brinoch]

May 28: Cardinals outfielder Jim Edmonds shows his age and declining physical abilities against the Rockies by making a sliding, game-ending catch on a lazy fly ball hit three feet to his right.

 

June 19: Tired of being excluded from all the players-only meetings, the Royals' coaches hold a meeting in manager Buddy Bell's office, but keep the door open to the locker room and loudly talk about how they wish they could manage players who were actually good at baseball.

 

July 26: Barry Bonds hits his record-breaking 756th career home run at home against the Braves, with Hank Aaron in attendance. Aaron meets Bonds at home plate, hugs him, and then drops him with a knee to the crotch.
