[EVAN LONGORIA] The Evan Longoria/Eva Longoria Jokes Have Commenced

We have professed our love for The Dugout on this site before. And today they are back with another chatroom featuring the Tampa Bay Rays top prospect, Evan Longoria and his alter-ego, Eva Longoria, who gives young Evan some investment advice.

As Rays fans the Eva/Evan Longoria name-similaritiness seems like old news. We have joked about it. We have talked about it. Sometimes we even see a headline (LIKE THIS, or THIS) and go ‘huh-wha!?!’. But we need to come to terms with the reality that we live in very special place. The Raysiverse. And the population is not very big and news from within the Raysiverse does not travel very far, unless of course a player chucks a bat at an umpire or threatens the lives his wife and children.

Of course we would probably enjoy this more if he was named Selman Hayek…Just Sayin’.

[GETTIN’ A DELMON] Delmon Young And Elijah Dukes Appear At The Dugout

Delmon Young and Elijah Dukes may be gone but that does not mean we can’t still make fun of them. In fact, they are more fair-game than ever as we no longer get that guilty feeling of “picking on one of our own”.

We must admit, nothing gets us more excited than seeing a new post pop-up in our feedreader from The Dugout (via AOL Fanhouse). The humor is sooo 9th grade, but it is usually short, sweet and to the point and is almost always good for at least one out loud laugh. Just the sort of thing to get us through the day.

Which is why we are kicking ourselves today for not having seen these earlier.

The Dugout visited with both Delmon Young and Elijah Dukes after their respective trades from the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. And by the way…If you ever wondered why we referred to Young throwing out baserunners as “Gettin’ A Delmon”, The Dugout is the answer.
