  • Baseball players as movie titles

    Twitter had the trend last night with movie titles and "members" -- let's have some fun with baseball players and movie titles

    **full disclosure, this is the topic of my already-submitted BPro article**

    1st one: Scott Kazmir - Tombstone (as in dead career)

    Ian Stewart- Things to do in Denver when youre dead
    After former Broncos quarterback Brian Griese sprained his ankle and said he was tripped on the stairs of his home by his golden retriever, Bella: “The dog stood up on his hind legs and gave him a push? You might want to get rid of that dog, or put him in the circus, one of the two.”

        one of the 8 I did today

        Scott Kazmir – “Tombstone”:

        Curly Tony Reagins just told Kazmir ‘bye,’ and Johnny Ringo just said it smelled like someone’s pitching stats died. Kazmir was coming off an awful 2010 with a 5.31 SIERA in 150 innings of work in which his walk rate nearly matched his strikeout rate. He was quickly thrown on the disabled list this season, but his rehab work in Triple-A Salt Lake City has been beyond horrible. In 15 innings of work he has allowed 22 hits, walked 20 batters, and struck out just 14. The only good news is that he has not given up a home run in the Pacific Coast League, but that may be a by-product of batters just feeling pity for someone that was once one of the top young arms in all of baseball. If someone picks him up now, it’s trying to catch sparks (he doesn’t have lightning any longer) in a bottle while the Angels are writing the paychecks. If you roster Kazmir at this point, you’ve either lost a bet with a friend or you are a glutton for punishment.
