To be clear, Jayson Stark is one of my favorite baseball writers on earth. But after reading his list of the three funniest baseball tweets (http://es.pn/a10ifB) this year, I must say, he's missed out on some solid comedy. He needed to expand that list! I was kind enough to do it for him. And to answer the obvious question, yes, I am gunning for his job.
Top Ten Funniest Baseball Tweets Of The 2010 Regular Season:
@ballssticksstuff My mother-in-law: "Is this the Phillies usual pitcher?" May 27th
@jedleyq Pirates fire Matt Walbeck after he wins a title at Altoona. No wonder this team hasn't won in 1,000 years. October 1st
@PatGallen_PN Joe West will now set himself on fire. (Reference unknown. But...) April 14th
@MikeVooss Jerry describes the positives of the club the same way I'd describe a bar I'd hang out at - but mine would have pitchers. (Mike describing Mets manager Jerry Manuel)
@EricStangel BREAKING MLB NEWS: The Washington Nationals just retired Stephen Strasburg's number... June 8th
@BattingStanceG Gonna assume I'm only person to have their book reviewed by Penthouse & SI for Kids. June 28th (I want to be the second.)
@keithlaw Someone should explain this to Papelbon in language he can understand: "Fastball go boom." May 17th
@YankeeMegInPHL The end of the world is coming. Not because of #hcr, but because it was just suggested on FB, that I become friends with Curt Shilling. March 21st
@philliesfever Part of me is mad at losing a 2-1 game to the Pirates with Halladay on the mound. But then another part of me is really, really mad. May 12th
@JayJayUberFly Game. Blouses! Who wants pancakes? #Mets #Cardinals April 17th (If you remember that game, you weren't there.)
