1337 hitters

w00t!! Pointed to Progressive Boink's very funny Dugout, which envisions ballplayers instant messaging. A sample:
WinBenSteinsBrenner: Now, before we begin, I have a very important and personal question to ask you.

WinBenSteinsBrenner: WHO'S YOUR DADDY clap clap clapclapclap WHO'S YOUR DADDY clap clap clapclapclap.

Vote4Pedro: I was born in the Dominican Republic to a man named Paulino Martinez.

WinBenSteinsBrenner: I see. Well, that clears THAT up! (Link)
And as for Mientkiewicz going to the Mets for Bladergroen (he of the .992 OPS in Class-A), I can see just the circumstances:

Theo, to himself, at keyboard: Let's see... i before e especially before cz... Mientkiewicz... damnit, it takes forever to type in that guy's name properly.

Minaya, to himself, at keyboard: Bladdergone? Bladergroin? What the? He's only in Single-A and I have to spend all that time trying to get his name right?

Some phone calls later, a trade gets made.
