Surviving Grady makes an interesting point.<\/a><\/p>\n

And it’s even worse when you consider the little-known “Tim Spooneybarger” rule of baseball, which dictates that the team with the player with the coolest name typically wins the World Series [hey, there’s a reason we kept Leskanic around last October]. Chicago’s got the richly dubbed Scott Podsednik. We’re countering with the uniquely christened Jon Papelbon. Podsednik. Papelbon. Podsednik. Papelbon. Podsednik. Papelbon.
