Morale

Overall feeling, usually of a group of people. When morale is high, people are happy. When it is low, people are probably grumbling.

"The beatings will continue until morale improves!"

Moneyball

A book written by Billy Beane, er, Michael Lewis about the 2002 Oakland A's and their quest to reach the playoffs. It discounts some baseball fallacies (i.e. a player can be judged by physical talent alone) and explores the methods of rating players. Thus, teams with little money (such as the A's) can find out who the best available players are and acquire them.

Moneyball describes the importance of statistics such as On-Base Percentage and Slugging Percentage.

Cast Out

To expel, usually from a division of society or select group.

Because of the memorable scene he made in Texarkana, Louie is expected to be cast out of the club by Monday.

Thorn in the Side

A nemesis that always tends to get the best of his/her arch-enemy.

I can't beat level four of "Grand Marshall" because those tiny gremlins always kill me. They're thorns in my side.

Dodgers

The players on the National League's Los Angeles baseball team. Originally, the Dodgers played in Brooklyn, where they first received the name 'Dodgers'. The name was a reference to the homeless who covered Brookyln's streets in those days, dodging the trolleys that carried passengers around the city. The nickname doesn't make much sense nowadays, unless it refers to the bullet-dodgers in Compton.

The Dodgers are cool solely on the grounds that José Lima pitches for them.

Dole

To give/deal. Can be (and often is) followed by 'out'.

I doled out slices of the victory cake to each of the club members.
