Joe Smith has a funny exchange with teammates regarding his appearance in the video game MLB 2K8. Adam Rubin posted this exchange on his blog for the New York Daily News.

Joe Smith’s teammates were glad to hear he was included in MLB 2K8, but that didn’t stop them from ribbing him.

Smith was lamenting the fact that his fastball in the game was a four-seamer (straight) rather than his two-seamer (sinker).

Ryan Church, who homered against Smith last year, joked about that shot: “It went out four-seam.”

Matt Wise told Smith the side-armer probably uses Billy Wagner in the eighth and himself in the ninth.

Replied Smith: “I run the bullpen like it’s supposed to be run.”

Last year I read about how Smith was getting tons of parking tickets living in New York, the kid always seems to be part of something comical. I hope he sticks around in this crowded bullpen.
