Take a Trot on the Wild Side

Not content to wait out his stint on the disabled list and punish opposing pitchers upon his return, original Dirt Dog Trot Nixon struck rehabbing Sox closer Keith Foulke on the elbow with a line drive during a batting practice session on Friday. Reports are sketchy as of yet, but the Globe’s Gordon Edes is reporting that Foulkie told Trotsky that he’d hit him above the elbow on the fleshy part of the arm. Both players were participating in their first live bp following knee surgery for Foulkie and a severe oblique (side) strain for Trotsky. Foulkie iced his arm after the incident and Trotsky prepared to head to a rehab stint in Pawtucket, where he plans to tie rookie phenom Manny Delcarmen’s shoes together, shoot prized second base prospect Dustin Pedroia in the eyes with bleach (pictured left), and sodomize rehabbing Mark Bellhorn with a broom handle.
