&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/Music/06/02/diddley.obit/index.html"&gt;Tombstone&amp;nbsp;hand&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;div class="description"&gt;&lt;p&gt;and a graveyard mine,
&lt;br /&gt;Just 22 and I don't mind dying.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;He made it a lot farther than 22, but alas the great Bo Diddley has passed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I guess that makes number 3.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Laredo Broncos of the United League traded for John Odom from the Calgary Vipers last week.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In exchange for Odom's services they gave the Calgary Vipers &lt;a href="http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/24798047/"&gt;10 bats&lt;/a&gt; .&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This got me thinking, I know there are other weird trades out there where one player was traded for something out of the ordinary. Especially back in the early early days of baseball. I'm creating this fanpost for anyone that knows of or has heard of any other weird trades to post the story here.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>A-Rod a p*$%y?</title>

&lt;p&gt;We now have confirmation that A-Rod is in fact a pussy. He apparently passed out during the birth of his daughter back in 04. I guess the aftermath of the colossal collapse they made to the Sox in the ALCS in combination with watching his daughter being born was too much for him. So while his wife is working her ass off trying to birth their daughter he's on the floor with a towel on his head moaning.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Laird's Defense - Again.</title>

      <description type="html">
&lt;p&gt;Okay just to get some of your panties out of a wad I've changed the
poll, sorry to those that have voted, you'll now have to re-vote.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let's see what LSB thinks about Laird's defense. In your own opinion in all aspects of catcher defense (whatever you
personally use to rate catchers on) where does Laird rate in defense?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Typing this to get to 75 words so that my wonderful fan poll can be
posted on Lone Star Ball. If you are still reading this then you should
probably go and find something else to do because you are obviously way
too bored.&lt;/p&gt;

  
  


 	&lt;fieldset class="poll-box"&gt;
  &lt;legend&gt;Poll&lt;/legend&gt; 
  &lt;h5 class="poll-title"&gt;In your opinion where does Gerald Laird rate in catching defense?&lt;/h5&gt;
  
      
&lt;div id="poll_container_18300_908366446"&gt;
&lt;form action="/polls/vote/18300?container_id=poll_container_18300_908366446" method="post" onsubmit="new Ajax.Request('/polls/vote/18300?container_id=poll_container_18300_908366446', {asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true, parameters:Form.serialize(this)}); return false;"&gt;
&lt;ul class="poll-list clearfix"&gt;

    &lt;li class="clearfix"&gt;&lt;span class="radio"&gt;&lt;input id="poll_option_93250" name="poll_option" type="radio" value="93250" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class="option"&gt;Excellent - I would suck his balls!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li class="clearfix"&gt;&lt;span class="radio"&gt;&lt;input id="poll_option_93251" name="poll_option" type="radio" value="93251" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class="option"&gt;Above Average - I would just give them a little lick.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li class="clearfix"&gt;&lt;span class="radio"&gt;&lt;input id="poll_option_93252" name="poll_option" type="radio" value="93252" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class="option"&gt;Average - I would cup them in my hand.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li class="clearfix"&gt;&lt;span class="radio"&gt;&lt;input id="poll_option_93253" name="poll_option" type="radio" value="93253" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class="option"&gt;Below Average - He can suck my balls.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li class="clearfix"&gt;&lt;span class="radio"&gt;&lt;input id="poll_option_93254" name="poll_option" type="radio" value="93254" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span class="option"&gt;Suckitude - He sucks monkey balls.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p class="poll-vote-submit"&gt;&lt;input class="button" name="commit" type="submit" value="Vote!" /&gt; &amp;nbsp;  64 votes | &lt;a href="#" onclick="new Ajax.Request('/polls/results/18300?container_id=poll_container_18300_908366446', {asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true}); return false;"&gt;Results&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/form&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
