Hilarious! Everyone read!

This headline rocks. It is so dang funny. Milwaukee is pretty accomodating for just one player, don't you think. I wonder if he's Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Shinto, Hindu or something else.

Brewcrew Get Religious For One Player

Milwaukee- Mets and BrewCrew management worked late into Sunday night hammering out the details of a trade involving six different players. Milwaukee will be sending CF Francisco Zhang to NY in exchange for LF Eric Hall, SP Andrew Dare, RP Robin Novichkoff, SP Reynaldo Newmark, and SP Tad Religious. Religious had spent2006 in AAA. He's allowing over nine runners per nine innings and posting a 3.60 ERA. New York's defense has allowed 46 errors in 61 games this year, helping them to the top spot in the NL East. The Milwaukee Brew Crew have 16 points in cash and a payroll of 111 points.


As if it's not enough, the guys first name is Tad! He's just a little religious, not much. :p

Thanks... as the owner of the Milwaukee team I appreciate the publiclity this little trade has brought us... now if it would bring fans that would be good.

A couple of seasons ago I trade Dick Jesus for Ian Religious. Some wierdo made the names database.

Ok... this is a little off subject but what is Milwaukee's problem (in real life)? When I watch baseball tonite or watch my astros give up 15 HR's to Sexson and Burnitz, I would like to see the mascot slide into the big beer mug not just slide down a slide. I think maybe Milwaukee is becoming too religious, I mean prohibition is over isn't it? What else do the fans in Milwaukee have to look forward to other than 4th place or so in the central? With all of the new stadiums, I think that one is the one I would want to see the least because they lost a really great part of their teams identity. I wouldn't doubt that someone in their state legislature pushed for no beer slide and is trying everyday to get the team name changed. Sorry this doesn't have much to do with BBMO, so you guys can delete this if you don't want it here.

The scouting report sounds a little anti semetic if you read it wrong:

The minor leagues were home to the 24 year old Jew for all of 2002.

Not to mess with the bored Mogul boy's (and girl's) fun, but especially with the random nature how the first and last names are thrown together, something is going to come up that is going to offend someone.

Dick Jesus is awfully close...... Put that in a slightly different context, and..... well...... need I say more?

How bout' this scouting report for pitcher Jose Mercedes in Beta 151:

Jose Mercedes

A strong arm and plenty of drive make Mercedes a pitcher who can complement the pitching staff of most teams.



Subtle, but amusing.

A frien of mine was big on minor league baseball cards and found a card of '82 Pirates minor league affiliate. The card was of the son of former major league pitcher Elroy Face and lets just say he named his son Richard. Unfortuatly for Richard, the card manufacturer did not use his full first name. I think you're getting the idea.

In Mogul 2002 I got an ace female closer named Constance Sin.

Suggestion: If the surname of an online cutomer is not in the league name database, it will be added.

There are actual baseball coaches named Dick Pole and Rusty Kuntz.
