A ball is sometimes "spanked"... as is a badly beeatn team. Have heard that phrase used more than a few times. Even heard "woodshed" used before (the manager is going to take him to the woodshed for losing track of how many outs there were).And, of course... if you do really well... you might get a smack on the butt from a teammate (a good girl spanking?... lol).:)Todd and Suzy
