Fun Practical Joke for Kids

One thing I know is that kid’s like it when you play tricks on them. For example, I was going to take my nephew to see a baseball game, but instead I drove to an old burned down warehouse.

“Oh No!” I exclaimed, “it looks like the ballpark burned down. I bet all of the players are dead.”

On the way home he cried and he cried, but deep down I’m pretty sure he thought it was a good joke.

Threshers Sweep Jupiter Series

All Four Games Go Extra Innings!

	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10		R	H	E
Threshers	0	0	0	2	1	0	0	1	0	1		5	13	3
Hammerheads	1	0	1	0	0	0	2	0	0	0		4	11	0

Thre Clearwater Threshers wrapped up their four-game series with the Jupiter Hammerheads by taking the fourth game to extra innings. Once again the Threshers would come out on top in the game sweeping the series four games to none.

Threshers Come Out On Top In Extra Innings

	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10		R	H	E
Threshers	0	2	0	0	0	0	0	1	0	2		5	9	2
Hammerheads	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	3	-		3	9	1

One night after going twelve innings with the Hammerheads overcoming a 4-0 Threshers lead it would be more of the same on Friday night with the Hammerheads waiting until their final regulation at bat to grab their first three runs of the game and force overtime.

Threshers Win In 12!

	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12		R	H	E
Threshers	0	3	0	1	0	2	0	0	0	0	0	1		7	13	1
Hammerheads	0	0	0	3	2	0	1	0	0	0	0	0		6	12	1

The Threshers have added two new pitchers, Santo Hernandez and Jon Velasquez and a new outfielder Steve Susdorf, while Manny Ayala was released to begin the second half of the season. Additionally Yohan Flande and ex-Thresher Kyle Drabek have both been honored by being invited to the All-Star Futures game this year.

The team began their second season facing the Florida State League’s other sharks, the Jupiter Hammerheads at Jupiter beginning an eight game road trip that will include four games at Palm Beach. After this road trip the rest of the season will be chock full of home games. 38 of the remaining 62 games will be at Brighthouse Field, so hopefully the team can take advantage of the home stadium and make a run at the playoffs.

Rays Nix Threshers Pat Burrell Bobblehead

UPDATE: WOW! I first broke this story on Thursday night, and it has really taken off. All of the local media outlets have picked up on it, and so has the Associated Press. I’ve seen the articled cloned on at least a dozen other websites, and seen it referenced on many others. Thanks for spreading the word people. BOO RAYS!

IN OTHER NEWS: The Tampa Bay Rays have appearantly chosen to execute a rarely used agreement between Major League Baseball and Minor League Baseball that allows any MLB club to prohibit a minor league franchise within 60 miles of their club to give away bobblehead dolls at any game (plus other prohibited promotional activities).

On Friday the Threshers are scheduled to give away a Pat Burrell bobblehead as part of a Friday night bobblehead series which has already included Chase Utley and Jimmy Rollins on two previous Friday night games. The Threshers’ intention was to give away a bobblehead of every starting player in the Phillies 2008 World Series lineup.
