Expand your baseball vocabulary

I don't know where baseball color commentator Mike Krukow gets some of his material, but I have to admit the guy makes me laugh hard sometimes. I've always been a big fan of the "Butcher Boy," a name that Krukow has associated with a fake bunt followed by a quick hack. And, of course, when batters pop a cheap hit into the short outfield, Krukow is always quick to label that type of hit a "Texas Leaguer."

In last night's Giants-Diamondbacks game Krukow unveiled some new material. After a young Latino fan reached onto the field and grabbed a live ball down the right field line, Krukow proclaimed, "... and some Gay Julio just interfered with the play."

The "Gay Julio" was later ejected from the game.
