Practical Joke

Guardado sweats out practical joke Team had reliever believing he was bound for Nationals By T.R. Sullivan / MLB.com

I have always liked baseball practical jokes, the bubble gum on the hat, and the hot foot always make me laugh.  I love watching old school replays of the Jay Johnstone stuff even though I know it is cheezy.  Forgot to mention that I have a warped sense of humor I guess because I remember laughing at this and the Kyle Kendrick to Japan thing.

 

2 things interesting to me about the Ranger practical joke:

John Hart was with the mgmt team

and Eddie was mad about going to the Nats.

haha

That. is. awesome.

Plaschke: Scioscia, the former Dodgers catcher, is the model manager who has created an atmosphere of winning.
Junior:It's that simple. Mike Scioscia brings a Glade Plug-In labeled "Winning™" into the clubhouse and everyone who breathes it in gains 15 points in average.

99% of that story was great...

...but the 1% (John Hart in the “war room”) took it from an A+ to a solid B.

+ B -

John Hart in war room? No wonder shit didn’t get done.

It was nice of him to take a day off from the gold course though.

Hart

He must’ve leeched a lot of money from the Rangers over the years if he spends a lot of time on the gold course.

I'm glad that is how the Rangers front office members

were spending their final hours before the trade deadline.

goofing off??

haha that’s the first thing that came to mind but I wasn’t sure if it happened after the deadline or not.

it wouldn’t have mattered…anytime you have John Hart in your “war room” it’s tantamount to the Cowboys signing mini-me to be their defensive end…the whole team goes to shit.

Poor Nationals

I wonder if Guardado would have been madder if they told him he was traded to Japan…

I thought...

it was a pretty good prank to play. Especially on Eddie G.

Joke would have been funnier

if Guardado beat Hart to death with a baseball bat before they told him it was just a joke.
