It has been a while since we made some additions to our Razzball Glossary.  Thanks to everyone for their suggestions either in the Comments section or in the Forums.

Keep up the suggestions!

Charbonooooo! – A night or a season where your team starts off great but goes completely downhill from there. Named after Indian Joe Charboneau who had a great rookie year but did nothing after that.

Double D’d– Being stacked in one position. It’s a nice luxury to have, but usually requires a reduction to compensate for other weaknesses. E.g., I was Double D’d at 1B, but had to downsize to fix up my busted staff. (assist to BSUJam)

Jokey Smurf’d – When you receive a gift-wrapped package in a trade only for it explode in your face because of injury or a player’s poor performance.  See video for further explanation (as if any is necessary).  Example:  He gift-wrapped Aaron Harang to me for two crappy players but it looks like I got Jokey Smurf’d.  (assist to mikeisalegend)

Nattie Lights – Watered down talents that are better than nothing and can be had on the cheap – e.g, V-Mart is out and all the top-shelf catchers are gone. I’m going to pick up a Nattie Light like Jesus Flores and hope it gets me drunk… (assist to lincecumshot)

Scott Downs’ Syndrome – Successful late inning reliever whose progress is retarded by other bullpen mates.  After Scott Downs who has had a sub 2.00 ERA for the Jays from 2007-2008.  (full credit to Denys)

Tied To The WHIPping Post – When a pitcher’s defense tortures him with errors leading to a final stat line that’s ok on ERA but horrid on WHIP – e.g., “Man! Ponson tied me to the WHIPping post last night. 1.50 ERA but a 2.50 WHIP! Why is Jeter still playing shortstop?” (co-credits to Denys and Hebrew Hammer)

Weepstakes – Any popular waivers pick up that doesn’t live up to expectations eventually making you cry for wasting a top waiver pick on them. See Cueto, Scherzer, Kershaw, etc.  Example:  I won the Eugenio Velez weepstakes. Netted me a .125 average and .5 steals. Fun times! (full credit to Denys)
