Top Ten Baseball Terms That Sound Dirty

vfp started this in another thread but I think it deserves its own thread.

Here is the updated list (author credited in parentheses)

1. Bleeder up the middle (vfp)
2. There's a shot down the line - it's a fair ball! That's a long run for Haggerty down in the left field corner! One run scores - Marlowe is being waved aound from first! The throw comes to the cutoff man - there's no throw! No play at the plate! Everybody's safe! A two-out, two-run double by Jenkins ties it at five here in the top of the eighth! Are you kiddin' me? (vfp)
3. It's a day-night doubleheader! (vfp)
4. Big Papi mashes another one! (vfp)
5. Giants vs. Phillies (vfp)
6. Day in and day out, that guy just goes out there, puts on the mask and chest protector, gets down in a squat, and catches hard stuff for three hours (vfp)
7. They've got a hammer in the bullpen (vfp)
8. Toeing the rubber (vfp)
9. That guy's swingin' a big bat (vfp)
10. Hot corner (vfp)
11. Caught looking (TVF)
12. Bud Selig (Warb)
13. WHIP (TVF)
14.  Joe Carter (Warb)
15. 12-to-6 curve (vfp)
16. Backdoor slider (vfp)
17. Screwball (TVF)
18. Splitter (TVF)
19. Spitter (TVF)
20. High Heat (TVF)
21. Fantasy Baseball (TVF)
22. LOOGy (Lefty, One Out Guy) (none)
23. Southpaw (TVF)
24. Any stadium name that is named after a corporation (Warb)
25. Foul pole (TVF)
26. Barry Bonds (and every other player that was on the juice) (Warb)
27. Day/Night doubleheader (TVF)
28. A man in a pickle (TheBoost)
29. Hit and run (TVF)
30. Long relief (TVF)
31. I got it, I got it, I got it...oops. (TVF)

I refuse to let this die after hijacking the idea.

31. I got it, I got it, I got it...oops.

Hey, I just had this amazing idea!

How about this becomes the all-purpose creative-euphemism-writing thread or something?
