dnzrjxoy = the last name of the current first baseman.
When I was growing up, my band (not the rock band, but the collective pronoun of gorilla) played a variation of baseball. We called it wleba, and the object was to get the ball away from everyone else. We didn't have bases, innings, or outs, but we wished we had striped uniforms. Come to think of it, wleba isn't all that much like baseball. It's more like pro-wrestling, only with a large ball made out of melon.

Xftpuycx, Vladimir.
Position: Pitcher
Team: St. Petersburg Cosmonauts
Nickname: "Red Rocket"
One of biggest stars of now defunct Balkan League (no pun intended). Armed with 140+ kph fastball that made batters flinch like KGB, "Red Rocket" inspired much fear and respect throughout entire league until league's folding in early 90's. Took couple years off, then have brief stint with New York Yankees baseball team. Unhappy with being small fish in big pond, "Red Rocket" drank himself into oblivion, along with fellow pitcher, the Japanese import Hideki Irabu.
It's funny how I always get the acronyms. Anyway this one dates back before President Taft (as the folklore tells us) accidentely created the seventh inning stretch. The truth of the matter is far more complex. The real history of the matter dates back to Brother Jasper of Mary F.S.C, the man who brought baseball to Manhattan college. After noticing that many spectators got edgy during the game, he called a time out after the seventh inning to give them some time to stretch. This was back before organs were played at the games. Instead (a little known fact) they played the xylophone between innings and to pump up the crowd.
It instantly caught on and the term AWVRVIXS (pronounced AWVRVIXS) meaning: After Waiting, Veryifying Restless Viewers, Initiate Xylophone Stretch, was created to help the idea spread to all the different teams and leagues.
how's that for filling the assigment?
How sad that I didn't play my own game. Work sucks my revolver.
KaxMg - The performance enhancing drug that Vladimir Xftpuycx was suspected of using (and the REAL reason he left the Yankees).
duquivt = a double error penalty (du/deaux + quivt/quivet - pronounced quee-fet) for distracting the runner by having a young lass ...umm...pass gas.
Lady H, your blog isn't loading for me. What in the hell have you done? Heh.
