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.

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.

New Threshers Video News Channel on YouTube

If you missed at daily video game recap at my regular Threshers website don’t fret. They are all here in one library at YouTube. There are also a few short videos from last year’s FSL Championship celebration.

New Interviews With Threshers Manager Razor Shines

Several game recaps and interviews to choose from. Try the 7/14 interview, and check out a few others if you care.

I’m just trying to find some way…ANY WAY…to keep myself interested in the rest of this Threshers season. Now that it is official and I know for sure that Razor already hates me anyway, I guess there is no reason to expect that will change over the last 17 home games. He’ll probably hate me more if he ever sees one of these interviews (if he hasn’t already). Though he may enjoy the 7/14 interview.
