Torii Hunter optioned to Triple-F

After an "awful" start to the season, CF Torii Hunter has been optioned to the minors.




"The problem with letting your bullpen catcher run the draft for you, is that you sometimes end up with too much success," said Shortbus Drivers GM, Gib Dankinson.

He will be replaced on the roster by up-and-coming Daric Barton, who strikes out in 1 of every 3.9 AB, putting him on pace for 150 Ks. That and look how he spells his name.

"Hey, he was second on the board, but a guy with Hunter's injury record and propensity for strike outs was worth the risk," said bullpen catcher Dave Sliznewski. "I screwed up, but now we've made the necessary changes and I can go back to working with our guys in the bullpen. Eating hotdogs and chugging Budweiser."

Rock Hounds? Is that like the the Gary Rail Cats?

I knew B. Pennies was a Rock Hound, but I didn't think they would name a mascot after him.
