I'd like to ban all college and professional players from saying "ya'know".

95% of them couldn't complete a sentence that way.

"Velocity."

Ugh. This bothers me. Most of the time they just mean "speed." Velocity is a physics term that applies to speed plus direction. Announcers just say velocity instead of speed when referring to pitchers ("He has good velocity on his fastball!") because it makes them sound smarter. They're not.

Even if it's become "common usage" that velocity can now mean simple rapidity or speed of motion as opposed to the actual physics definition, it still sounds pretentious and lame.

they need to use the term velocity for pitchers such as Mark Wohlers and Rick Ankiel since we really don't know what direction the ball is going in

"Curse"

Seriously...everybody has a slump...and no one ever mentioned the Houston curse until it was 3-1 in the Cardinals series...then, it was like, "Holy crap, these guys have never been to the World Series! We need to mention this as much as possible to make up for the fact that the Red Sox and Yankees get far too much attention."

Also...I love the Killer B's, but that bee sound they play when one of them approaches the plate to hit is the sound you hear as you descend into Hell.

How much baseball do you know? A good fastball has a lot of movement on it and that's what they mean when they say "he has good velocity on his fastball."

Yeah, lol. It was so frustrating to hear during the ALCS that the White Sox were playing "small ball" against the Angels.
