Around SBN: Cal RB Jahvid Best Seriously Injured, Carted Off Field

A's anagrams

Apparantly, A's GM Baby Nellie had a nice little offseason for his team, signing Fathom Snark and Estonia Ablaze and trading for Notably Milder, who the A's hope will live up to his name. Now, with Utter Hotness closing games and a hopefully healthy Drench Hair this season, the A's needed little to begin with.

you know...
generally the "ball player as slab of meat" comments kinda bore me, but frankly, yeah, that may make one of the all time great nicknames...even if it will be tough to yell out in Fenway this year.

Yep
You can always count on COIN for the best puns... Though I'm sure OAT NOOK is going to put a negative spin on this somehow...

I'm an ICON. But I'm probably O NOT A-OK in the eyes of some.

DICE IN SPORT (predictions)
Let's take a look at what it'll take for the TECH TAILS to succeed and make it to the WORSE SLIDER. First, we're all expecting continued excellence from ROTARY BIZ. It's not unreasonable, given that his fall-off in 2004 was the failure from a three-pitch pitcher, and 2005 featured an expansion of his repertoire. While the A's pitching is deep, health in the starting rotation is key, as many are convinced that A LARK IS ROOKS' season last year was more than a bit flukish, and I can't imagine any of us look forward to seeing any more starts from KEEN JOY DEN.

Still, those two as the long man/loogy is a perfectly comfortable thought, and they make a versatile addition to a bullpen anchored by the trio of closer UTTER HOTNESS and setup men CROOK ALIKE and SIR HE JUST CRUNCHED.

The offense seems to be in as good a shape as it's been in years. We look forward to progression from WISH SNICKER, CRY BY SOB BOB and SAND ON JOHN. If healthy, ASH FRAT MONK and MY INBRED ATOLL both have the potential to give a big boost to the offense. Rebound years from SAND KLAN JOEL and STORMY KAKA would also be nice. The offense is going to revolve around CRAZE CHIVE, but maybe if other hitters can pick them up during his downswings, we'll beat A SENILE FELON'S HOME ANAL GAGS out for the AS WELT.

fun!
Baby Nellie is also a Yellin Babe...

You may have heard of "mall walking"... but if you grow up in South Dakota, maybe you could be a Mall Skier...

The guy with the ever-changing facial hair?  Whiskers Inc.  (but hopefully doesn't have Wicker Shins)...

They're not vermin; those little rodents at the Coliseum are Soul Mice (better than getting Sum E. Coli)...

I'll tell my husband that Oakland Athletics = Dalliance That's OK (except last May, when it was Hello, Antacid Task)...

The best of the best
Huston Street:

Hottest nurse

Milton Bradley:
Blame only dirt
Dr Milt Baloney
A troll in my bed(my personal fave)

Esteban Loaiza:
Bean is a zealot (if only his middle initial was 'E')

Who'da thunk that Dan Meyer was the AN Remedy?

Mom..! Meatloaf! ..F@#$!!

I like
"Enters to shut"! "These nuts rot" would work better for Julio Franco.

by Nico on Feb 19, 2006 7:56 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

On deck, Julio "these nuts rot" Franco!
..that's just hilarious.

Here are a few more:

Mark Ellis:

Antonio Perez:
O! An inept zero!
A one ton prize
Poet near Zion
Poor nazi teen

Hiram Bocachica:
Ha! I am a chic cobra!
Hibachi coma car
I rib coach Macha(!!)

Marco Scutaro:
Sour taco Marc
..or our scam act

Nick Swisher:
I wreck shins(shouldn't this be BoCro?)
Screw his kin

Frank Thomas:
Format shank
Monks fart! Ha!

Mom..! Meatloaf! ..F@#$!!

My favorite is
"A one ton prize," even if that might better describe a healthy Frank Thomas. An injured Frank Thomas, of course, might better be known as F'N SHOT KARMA.

by Nico on Feb 19, 2006 10:19 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

whole rosters
I see the whole Cub roster in anagrams is up at Bleed Cubbie Blue (apparently other teams' fans are doing this too.) The favorite appears to be that notable outfielder, Anal Pan Egg, but Erect Toys on the mound isn't bad either.
