His first contains the word SUK. Then you&#8217;ve got his last name, pure gold. Let me spell his name with a few choice spaces. FUK U DO ME. One more time. FUK U DO ME.

I&#8217;ll say it right now just to see&#8230; Sure enough, he laughed.<p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong><a class="lightbox" title="johnny-dickshot" href="http://cdn.jockpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/johnny-dickshot.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2515" title="johnny-dickshot" src="http://cdn.jockpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/johnny-dickshot-109x150.jpg" alt="YouVote: Top Ten Funniest Baseball Names" width="109" height="150" /></a>Johnny Dickshot</strong></p><p>It appears this last name is extinct.

This was not his birth name, but so many people love this nickname it would be a travesty to omit it due to a small technicality.<p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong><a class="lightbox" title="urban-shocker" href="http://cdn.jockpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/urban-shocker.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2518" title="urban-shocker" src="http://cdn.jockpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/urban-shocker-91x150.jpg" alt="YouVote: Top Ten Funniest Baseball Names" width="91" height="150" /></a>Urban Shocker</strong></p><p>It is doubtful the SHOCKER we know and love so well (2 in the pink, 1 in the stink) was part of everyday slang when Ol&#8217; Urban was throwin&#8217; the rock, it doesn&#8217;t mean we can&#8217;t laugh today.<p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong><a class="lightbox" title="coco-crisp" href="http://cdn.jockpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/coco-crisp.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2519" title="coco-crisp" src="http://cdn.jockpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/coco-crisp-150x129.jpg" alt="YouVote: Top Ten Funniest Baseball Names" width="150" height="129" /></a>Coco Crisp</strong></p><p>Everytime I hear/read his name I have to make a bowl of cereal.

If they would name him Milton Bradley, it&#8217;s hard telling what else they&#8217;d do. Bradley is one of the most pissed off and mentally unstable players in baseball.

He hit 225 of his 438 career homers (51%) with the Expos. So it&#8217;s not like he came to Chicago and was a stiff, or his glory days were only spent in Montreal.</p><p>Dawson was asked if he might put on a Cubs hat during his induction speech.</p><p>&#8220;To be honest with you, I thought about that,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It was a tough night for me sleeping [Tuesday].

But there will be some way I will try to acknowledge the Cubs fans to show just how important they were to me. I did think about at some point in time during the speech putting a Cubs cap on, but I don&#8217;t know if that&#8217;s appropriate.&#8221;</p><p><a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/news/story?id=4862768">http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/news/story?id=4862768</a><a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/news/story?id=4861968"></a></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://jockpost.com/andre-dawson-enter-hall-expo/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Jose Offerman Punches Umpire, Lengthy Suspension Looms</title><link>http://jockpost.com/jose-offerman-punches-umpire-lengthy-suspension-looms/?utm_source=rss&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=jose-offerman-punches-umpire-lengthy-suspension-looms</link> <comments>http://jockpost.com/jose-offerman-punches-umpire-lengthy-suspension-looms/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sun, 17 Jan 2010 14:01:44 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jp14</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[MLB]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Baseball]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Jose Offerman]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Umpire Punching]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://jockpost.com/?p=838</guid> <description><![CDATA[<a href="http://jockpost.com/jose-offerman-punches-umpire-lengthy-suspension-looms/"><img align="left" hspace="5" width="100" height="100" src="http://jockpost.com/wp-content/plugins/thumbnail-for-excerpts/tfe_no_thumb.png" class="alignleft wp-post-image tfe" alt="" title="" /></a>  OK, so when you watch the video you will see that the punch is pretty weak, but what happened to kicking dirt on the umpire&#8217;s shoes?  The least he could have done is land a solid punch if he is going to jeopardize his career for it.
