The Dugout: Gillette Presents Excellence in the Field of Readiness

I said, are. You. Ready? Then, for the thousands in attendance, and the millions reading at home. Let's get ready to read today's Dugout!

Two of baseball's brightest young stars kept busy this offseason; the Colorado Rockies signed Carlos Gonzalez to a seven year, $80 million contract extension, and Evan Longoria of the Tampa Bay Rays jumped into the ocean from a helicopter because he can't tell the difference in his cap and one that looks just like it.

Because of these accomplishments, Gillette named them two of the 2011 "Young Guns," which I guess means they will represent the company when John Cena is not bursting out of toilet stalls and forcing people to cut themselves on camera.

If you haven't seen the commercial, check it out on the YouTubes before trying to get the following jokes. If you don't want to watch the video, the whole joke is that they say "ready" a lot.
