Loser News

Boo-Yah, everybody!!  Welcome to another edition of Losers’ Sports! Well, spring training is gearing up in the southern states, as a fading winter gives birth to new hopes of baseball success. Unless you’re a Brewers fan, that is.

Yes, after blowing any playoff hopes as the season wound down last year, the management has opted to ride that same dispirited horse til it’s dead and stinking. Sure, we still have Hart, Suppan, and Fielder, but other teams are getting players with super cool nick names.

Detroit has D-Train Willis, and other teams have player names like Tulo, Big Papi, and Chipper, or Manny (which I’m told is short for Manonucleousis), Speizio, and Steve ”Scott’s Big Jerk Cousin” Finley.  Names with flavor, like The Brooklyn Bomber (which admittedly, doesn’t play as well these days), Joltin’ Joe, Smelly Pete, the Urban Sasquatch, Junk Yard Dog!!!

Come on, Yost!! Get your head out, and go for some of those big names! Boo-Yah!!
