Oooh boy. We got a funny story coming out of Atlanta this morning informing us about this year’s version of the time-honored tradition of hazing first-year baseball players. From Ken Mandel over at Phillies.com — you ready?
ATLANTA — [J.A. Happ as] A Roman solider, [strength and conditioning coordinator Dong Lien as a] Geisha, [Greg Golson as a] ’20s-style flapper, [Mike Cervenak as] Britney Spears and [Lou Marson and Kyle Kendrick] as two leather-bound “adult” entertainers boarded the Phillies’ charter for Florida on Friday.
That meant one thing: Rookie hazing.
Awww man, that sounds funny. I can’t wait to click on the photo gallery that surely accompanies this story and laugh at these guys. This is gonna be great.
Wait… what? There are no photos? You mean I just have to settle for reading the story and visualizing what they’d look like? BULLSHIT!
Actually, the only thing more fucked up than not showing these pictures is they made Kyle Kendrick (who is most likely still depressed from sucking for the past couple months) dress up for a second straight year. Are they trying to drive this kid to suicide or something? Come on Phils, enough with the humiliation of Kyle Kendrick.
If anyone either has the pics or can point me in the direction of the pics, I’d appreciate it.

They better take it easy on Kyle’s already damaged psyche, he could go postal on that clubhouse.

Was it Kendrick that Brett Myers convinced was traded to Japan for a Kobayashi the competition eater?
Maybe that’s not such a bad idea now.
Well y’all pwned my Braves all year. I hope you’re happy. You must love us. Laid down like little lambs when we played the Fightin’s we actually beat the Mets!!
Anyways, one more series and then we kick off in CBP in April. Hopefully with a better team.

How dare you mock Kyle Kendrick!

@How do you spell retard?
I wasn’t trying to mock him. It was in reference to a hazing that actually happened. I saw a video of it and everything. It was actually a pretty funny practical joke and Kendricks was laughing about it by the end. Meyers even got Charlie Manuel in on it.
Sorry if my comment was misunderstood. I didn’t come to trash talk the Phils or Kendrick. I actually respect the Phils and wish them best of luck should they make the postseason. My apologies. I’m a Braves fan but I don’t come by to mock people.
my comment “maybe that’s not such a bad iead” was to sympathize with y’all about a less than impressive year from him.
Peace from the Southeast,

JB, I think he was kidding.
what? not kidding? oh jeez, I think you opened up a can of worms…Hdysr will totally mock you from now on with nothing but Goo Goo Dolls quotes and Fred Durst anecdotes he picked up while reading the January ‘97 issue of JET magazine.
Unless you want to be called out to a boxing match like that guy from Creed, I suggest you vamoose…
