When Padres reliever Doug Brocail dosed Rockies OF Matt Holliday a few weeks ago (the second Rockie he hit in a four day span), he tried to make us believe that it was because of a torn fingernail. Next time Brocail hits a Rockies batter, he won't have the same excuse.Doug Brocail wasn't exactly showing off his new acrylic fingernail in the Padres' clubhouse on Wednesday, though the veteran reliever was certainly thankful to have it.Don't worry Doug, we won't think anything less of you and your chick nails. (If any of our readers were in the beauty shop with him when he got it done, be sure to let us know!)

After two failed attempts to fix the broken nail on Brocail's right index finger, the right-hander finally had luck this week when he was fitted with an acrylic nail that gave him the opportunity to pitch again.
