Baseball is Poop

Is it Called a Typo? Or a Sew-O?
Nationals players Adam Dunn and Ryan Zimmerman were given jerseys without the O on the front, reading "Natinals."





It's amazing this happened and no one noticed, but even more amazing that I vividly remember it happening several other times before.
I even blogged about the time Aaron Harang was wearing a misspelled jersey.
Adam Riggs once wore an Angees jersey while playing for the Angels.

And I remember Mama Poop cutting this one out of the newspaper for me, when Joe Carter was playing for the Torotno Blue Jays.

More Jersey Mayhem
When the Mets released relief pitcher Darren O'Day he went home to Florida. That's where he was when his agent told him to hop on the first flight to Toronto because the Texas Rangers had just claimed him.
He was going through customs in the 8th inning and he came on to pitch in the 11th. But they had no jersey for him so he wore Kason Gabbard's #30. And O'Day gave up the game-losing hit to the first batter he faced.
This might have confused the front office because Gabbard was traded the next day.
O'Day now wears #56.



I Wouldn't Get Started On Emilio Bonifacio's Hall of Fame Plaque Yet
Emilio Bonifacio started out the season 14 for 24 (.583) in his first five games. After which his "owned %" in fantasy leagues probably jumped to 100. Since then Bonifacio is 6 for 45 (.133). He also has 0 extra base hits and 0 RBI over that span. And the speedster has only one stolen base during that stretch, because you can't steal first.

I'm Getting Too Old For This Shit
Last year I wrote about poor umpire Kerwin Danley getting smacked in the face with a pitch while Vin Scully ran down every thing he knew about the man (too bad the video doesn't work anymore). Less than a year later Danley was carted off the field on a stretcher again, after getting hit with a broken bat.



Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Immediately After You Just Did It
Jermaine Dye hit his 300th career home run, then was immediately upstaged by teammate Paul Konerko who hit his 300th. Back to back milestones. The odds of two teammates being stuck on 299 at the same time are astronomical. No two teammates had ever hit 300 in the same game, never mind back to back. Incredible happenstance.

Cool Picture of the Week
Rickie Weeks take a pitch to the face. I'm pretty sure he bunted it up into his face or else his face likely would have been shattered. But still pretty crazy, you can see Weeks's skin rippling away from the impact zone.
