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.
