Fungo trouble

 

Chicago Cubs pitcher Carlos Zambrano had to be taken for X-rays and was deemed unavailable to pitch Tuesday after being struck on his throwing elbow by a fungo bat swung by Joey Cora.

coaches use it to hit ground balls and fly balls for practice

GASP!! HAVE YOU NEVER PLAYED BASEBALL?!?!

 

It's a long, skinny, incredibly light bat used for pre-game drills and such. The bat is specifically designed for infield and outfield practice, this way the coach can use an very light bat for better accuracy when hitting the ball and can swing it hundreds of times without tiring. Of course it's only designed for tossing the ball up and hitting it.

It's good to use for a lot of stuff. This bat is nice, espically if you hate the Cubs.

Alright then. I know what you're talking about. Didn't know it was called a 'fungo' bat.

LOL this is hilarious. This will be another excuse from cub fans for the horrible season.

Is this legit? That is just too funny!

Here's what it says:

 

A fungo bat is specially designed bat used by baseball and softball coaches for practice purposes. The bat is not designed to hit thrown or pitched balls, rather it is designed to hit balls tossed up in the air. Typical fungo bats are 35-37 inches long and weigh 17-22 ounces. Coaches hit many balls during fielding practice and the weight and length allow for the coach to hit balls repeatedly with high accuracy. Joey Cora, White Sox 3rd-base coach, used one to injure Cubs pitcher Carlos Zambrano.

 

The way that's worded, it sounds like Cora beat the hell out of Z with it.

Me too. Fungo is a pretty standard term.

 

Just like playing "pickle", right? ...Right?!

 

(FYI, I'm referring to the fact that my parents call it "running bases", not pickle. I grew up playing pickle)

Isn't it comon sense not to stand ANYWHERE near someone swinging a bat????

It was probably edited. Now just the stuff it had before the incident is all that's there.

At least it wassn't a keyboard.

Wanna laugh for a half hour?

Cora did it on purpose! What a douchebag! haha

 

I love how they're all saying they hate the White Sox more because of this. huh?!?! Cub fans: redirecting the blame since 1908.

When you're a big fat f*** like Cra-Zee, you're ALWAYS near a swinging bat.

What irony.
