Belated Laffs

While we don't hafta pretend to be nice to Brothatime!! anymore since his birthday is over, I still wanted to post one of my favorite Xmastime posts, his "Pitches of Jimmy" from HERE :)

Brothatime!!!'s Top 10 pitches of Jimmy, a guy we played baseball with in high school who fancied himself a pitcher with a plethora of weapons at his disposal; all of which sucked:


        Lucky for you gents, I've been going through the old memory banks about Jimmy's collection of pitches, here's my top 10:

        10. Curveball – Go to, clutch pitch; batters struggled with a .764 average against this one

        9. Wild Pitch – Minimal damage, never had enough velocity to make it to the backstop

        8. Speed Limit – Never broke 55 mph

        7. Speed Limit, Residential – Never broke 25 mph

        6. Earthquake – So called because outfield fences in the NND are STILL shaking from the results of this one

        5. Fastball – See #8 above

        4. Radio Ball – So called because Jimmy misunderstood GC’s definition. This was a ball the fielders could hear but not see flying past them.

        3. Slop ball – Never clear to me what distinguished this from the rest of them, allegedly an “out pitch”

        2. The Equalizer – Made all hitters equal – to Barry Bonds

        1. Three Run Triple – Come on, you knew it was coming…
