BOOM-SHOCKA-LOCKA

This is where Jay Bruce's photo would be if he
had played a single day in the major leagues.

I'm only posting this because that crazy old word went through my head. That word went through my head because some maroon just traded me Roy Halladay for Jay Bruce. If you don't play fantasy baseball, please ignore the following entry.  If you do play, here's your extra dose of dork for the day.

Roy Halladay
 81 IP. 3.11 ERA. 62 Ks. 10 BBs.  0.98 WHIP.

Jay Bruce
Um, nothing on record in the majors.  He gets his first start tonight.

Here's how this works:
  1.  I snatch Jay Bruce off the free agents list as soon as I get word he's being called up, essentially for free (I have to drop Sidney Ponson to make space).
  2. One day later, somebody offers me ROY FREAKING HALLADAY for an unproven center fielder.
  3. I think to myself, "Boom-shocka-locka!"
I haven't heard that word since the seventh grade.

Boom. Shocka. Locka.

Bruce started his Major League career by going 3 for 3 with 2 runs scored and 2 RBIs.

One game does not a season make, but you might want to revisit this post at the end of the year.

Shoooooot. Lots of prospects come out swinging. I don't care what Bruce does the rest of the year. Roy Halladay is a monster. Jay Bruce is a rookie who plays for Dusty Baker. I will never EVER revisit this post with any regret.
