Yahoo Game Notes: Often Hilarious

[slomo007]

I thought this one was very funny:

Apr 14 Reds outfielder Austin Kearns hit a three-run homer off Cardinals pitcher Mark Mulder Wednesday. It was his only hit of the game.

Views: Kearns has struggled so far, hitting .231 and striking out eight times. Wednesday's home run was his first extra-base hit this season. Really, Kearns is probably a .270 hitter that could hit 20-plus homers. It appears as if the Reds are committed to getting him at-bats, so we recommend keeping him in your lineup.





Anyone with half a brain knows that Kearns is a LOT more than a .270 hitter with 20 homers. That is absolutely ridiculous to say that. Injuries have held him back, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have the talent.

Maybe we just need to add some embellishments and exaggerations. Make it more, shall we say, Drudge Reportesque.

O.K. speaking of odd player notes, can anyone top this one?

Apr 13 FOXSports.com reports San Francisco Giants OF Moises Alou, then with the Chicago Cubs, urinated on his hands in an attempt to heal calluses and blisters.

Wonder if the team doctor suggested this or its just an old home remedy? Perhaps jekin it less would help?

Wow, must be a slow news day over at Fox... this was reported last year!! not exactly a news flash fox
