The Daily Swag

Because awful things never seem to truly die, two MLB franchises are digging deep into the fashion pile for "Zubazpalooza" day at the stadium. 

Lockers and other inanimate objects continue their impeccable record against frustrated athletes. 

The Tucson Padres will be tough to ignore come June 8. In fact, you might want to cover your eyes from now until the end of the summer. 

One great toss from the outfield stands and the Dodgers may have themselves the right-handed pitcher they need at the moment. At least, that is how the movie Rookie of the Year started.

Sometimes in life you just have to toss a perfectly good pie in your face.

Brandon Moss was exhausted; everybody was. The A's had just taken on the Angels through 19 innings, leaving the announcers weary, the fans yawning and the players ready to hit the showers.

Not so fast, because we have some pie throwing and sports-drink tossing to get to before you leave the stadium.

If you ever get a job covering the Washington Nationals as a sideline reporter, bring a poncho.

The Nats Enquirer happened upon the initial throes of Julie Alexandria covering the team from the field.

Hunter Pence might need some help on the proper use of sunglasses. 

The Dodgers and Giants opened play on a sun-drenched Monday afternoon in Los Angeles. It was the kind of day that mandated some sun-shielding eye wear if you were ever going to skirt any amount of pop-fly disaster. 

Well, Pence flew too close to the sun and got burned, dropping a routine fly ball in the sixth inning, producing one of the first bloopers of the season. 

It's really quite simple. Catch a perfect game: get a fancy watch. 

Susan Slusser, the San Francisco Chronicle's A's beat writer, gives a baseball-mad world a beautiful moment that will restore your faith in humanity—or faith that ace pitchers can still have some class. 

It may be spring training, but Phillies fans are already in midseason form. 

Busted Coverage spotted some of the more wonderful moments from an otherwise uneventful day during MLB preseason action. 

Of course, any Hooters waitresses out there should avert their eyes now because things are about to get rather awkward in here. 

The world doesn't stand a chance when Fernando Rodney brings his lucky plantain to the ballpark. 

The Dominican Republic moved past the Netherlands Monday night and will now play in the World Baseball Classic final against Puerto Rico. 

Sure, you could give some of the credit to the timely hitting of Moises Sierra and Robinson Cano, but the real reason the Dominican Republic took the semifinal was the undeniable power of Fernando Rodney's lucky plantain.
