Raptors' Raptor leaves us in raptures

According to his bio, The Raptor went to Jurassic High. Apparently roller-blading wasn't on the syllabus:

Willy the horny shark

Colombian soccer team Junior Tiburon have quite the horny mascot in Willy (surely the Colombians can't be aware of that pun, can they?). Here he is in "action":

Sluggerrr in a spot of hot waterrr


From this TMZ report:
MLB MascotSluggerrr the Lion -- the mascot for the Kansas City Royals -- is accused of poking a fan's eye out with a steaming hot wiener during a Major League Baseball game last year ... and now the team is being sued over it.

It's all in a lawsuit filed in Jackson County, Missouri in which John Coomer claims he was just chillin' at a game on September 8, 2009 -- when Slugger "climbed atop the third base dugout and started shooting hotdogs into the stands from an air gun."

Coomer claims Slugger eventually put the air gun down -- and started firing off the wieners by hand ... when, according to the suit, things went horribly wrong.

In the docs, Coomer claims "Slugger lost control of his throw or was reckless with his throw, and threw the hotdog directly into the Plaintiff."

Coomer claims the dog hit him right in his left eye -- leaving him with a detached retina and the development of cataracts.

Coomer is now suing the Royals for more than $25k for negligence and battery -- claiming they "failed to adequately train its agents ... in the proper method in which to throw hotdogs into the stands at Kauffman Stadium."

Remember, when handling wieners -- it's always safety first.
-------------------------
Given what happened last time Sluggerrr used his hot dog cannon, Mascot Hijinks doesn't fancy the plaintiff's chances

Mascots engage in Mortal Kombat

What could be more spine chilling than mortal combat to the soundtrack of Mortal Kombat? Thunder discovers that Jaxson De Ville has some WWE moves up his sleeve:

Screech goes fishing

Earlier, Mascot Hijinks showed you how disgusted Billy the Marlin is at the thought of fishing. NL East rival mascot Screech clearly doesn't share Billy's sentiments:

Gettin' served

Rowdy tries to serve Jaxson De Ville, but then he gets completely owned:

Hornsby the sole dove in a world full of hawks

Mascot fighting is a rising trend (simply search Mascot Hijinks for "Oregon Duck" if you want to see plenty of examples of mascotiopathic behaviour), and it's also an unwelcome one according to Hornsby. About half-way through this video, Hornsby offers his perspectives:

Ackbar for Ole Miss

Ole Miss is currently controversially looking for a new mascot (Colonel Rebel being the former one). Here is one of the more peculiar alternatives on offer

"Magnanimity" is not thy middle name...

... certainly if your first name is Screech:

Teddy's skating on thin ice

As usual, Teddy's struggling, though this time it's on foreign territory as the Presidents' race makes its way to a Capitals game at the Verizon Centre. After brutally checking Jefferson and Lincoln into the boards, the gloves finally come off:

Teddy gets nailed AGAIN

As we have previously documented, Teddy Roosevelt simply never wins the Presidents' race at Nationals Park. In this episode, the Orioles' Bird lands the ultimate sucker punch to deny Teddy yet again. Even Screech is left aghast...

The truth about the Patriot Act...

Benny the Physicist

Mascot Hijinks strongly recommends that you watch this in its entirety, including the end without skipping ahead. MH believes that patience is a virtue:

Benny lap dance falls flat


During the 2010 All-Star festivities, Benny the Bull's lap dance for Jay-Z and Diddy was deemed an unwelcome offering.

Howler doing his bit for Mother Nature

Though to be fair, this probably isn't the best context for enforcing double-sided printing. Nevertheless Mascot Hijinks firmly believes that it's the thought that counts:
