Books That Were Never Written:


Recommended Posts

This is how it works: Post a title of a book (using the most unimaginable irony you can think of) relating to Major League Baseball.

A few examples:

Title of the Book: Team Chemistry by Michael Barrett, illustrated by Carlos Zambrano

Bunting for Average: Albert Pujols

Winning The Big One - The Tampa Bay Devil Rays

Speed on the Basepaths - Sean Casey

This topic could be endless.. :)

High-Fives - Antonio Alfonseca

1-2-3 Innings - Phillies Bullpen

Pitching - Rich Dubee

Talking In Complete Sentences - Charlie Manuel

Helping The Grounds Crew - Colorado Rockies (Not LaTroy Hawkins, mind you)

Friends - Chris Wheeler

6th Inning - Phillies Starting Pitching

Optimism - Philadelphia

I could come up with more, but it's too painful.

If it doesn't start with random stuttering and end in complete silence, Manuel didn't say it.

Actually one of his finer quotes came today when asked of his whereabouts during the tarp fiasco at Coors: "In the dugout, of course. I'm the manager. Just 'cause I stutter sometimes and I got a southern accent doesn't mean I'm stupid."

Don't ever complain about your managers to me again. Cherish your John Gibbonses and Joe Torres before Uncle Charlie makes a visit to your clubhouse.

Keeping your cool- Lou Pinella

That ain't no sh**********************t.

Remember, quotes or titles aren't meant to offend the fans of different teams, just having fun.

Keep that in mind.

Here's one:

How Not To Get Tossed From A Game: Bobby Cox

I'd say this should spread to other sports as well. We can't let baseball have all the fun. Something as simple as:

The Winning Tradition - A collaboration of the nation's finest achievers, including the Atlanta Hawks, Columbus Blue Jackets, and Detroit Lions.

Fountain of Youth - Dikembe Mutombo (foreward by Greg Oden)

Seattle - SuperSonics

Bunting 101 by Carlos Delgado and Cliff Floyd

Learn To Throw Out Runners Like The Pros by Mike Piazza

Winning Streaks by Anthony Young

The Art Of Homeruns by Rey Ordonez

>> Who would write the book Pitching For Dummies?

Rich Dubee (you should see a theme in my posts), Kip Wells, Alex Graman (think NYY), and definitely the mayor of Cincinnati.
