Dave Bush was activated and Feierabend to the DL with turf toe, more widely known as the Injured Valendia named for former IronPig Jorge Valendia who was very prone to this condition, especially when a roster spot was needed.
OinK!

I was watching and waiting for a transaction because I knew someone had to go to make room for Bush. Not surprised it was Feierabend since Bush is taking his spot tonight.
I don’t think I ever told you this but I was talking to some Giants fans online after the Phillies dealt Brian Bocock to the Pirates organization. They said Bocock was once a highly touted prospect in the Giants organization but when he got rushed to the majors due to injuries it robbed him of an opportunity to develop as a hitter in the lower minors. Ever since then, whenever a ballplayer got called up before he was ready they refer to him as being “Bococked”. Another word to add to the baseball vocabulary along with “injured Valendia”, “Mendoza line” and others. .
I googled that term and found a lot of folks using Bococked. Interesting. I created a “Glossary” page to record these terms.
Feel free to suggest more 🙂
Salazaring – dancing upon command (Look at the left fielder he’s Salazaring)
Schwimed – one of our favorites is called up (Oh man, Rich Thompson’s been Schwimed)
DeSchwimed – a player is sent back down (Joe’s been deSchwimed, it’s good to have him back)
Frandsened – a player that has been suspended (He shouldn’t have thrown at that player’s head – he’s liable to get Frandsened)
Elbows – @^@

Bush (see Elbows)
Auction Linebacker – A large person who uses their girth for an advantage (Dude you just leveled by an auction linebacker)
A Provence – When you coin a new word or term (That’s not a real word you just made a Provence)

A Ferrous – An unknown animal looking creature (Is that a hippo or an elephant? Gee, I don’t know must be a Ferrous)
That’s all I got for now…
Ha! Good stuff!
