David & Goliath

It all really started yesterday when Brandon Inge and Miguel Cabrera were hit by Boston pitches, and when Edwin Jackson hit Youkilis. But today's "oh HELL naw" started with this 23 year old kid, Junichi Tazawa, when he hit Miggy in the hand and bruised him day-to-day. OMG MIGGY.

I wonder what Tazawa's intentions were, or if he was instructed to hit Miggy. This kid looks familiar, but I may be completely making things up. In any case, Tazawa seems to hail from Yokohama, so I can't totally hate on that. If he's known to hang around Isezaki-cho, then I can see why he'd try to hit someone to protect Youkilis Sempai. But that's not gonna go without consequences. The Tigers have a young lion with the spirit of SIMBA, RICK PORCELLO. I call him "Ricky P."

This is just sick to look at. Youkilis' face should be pixelated, like when people don't want the world to know what they look like, or when someone swears and a TV network blurs their mouth so the children can't read lips, except all over his nasty face. WTH, is Youkilis 12 years old or so?

Anyway, Porcello wins.

Porcello looks good angry with that Slam Dunk-esque hair. I like how Papa Leyland is taking him home.

PLACIDO POLANCO CAN ONLY HIT WITH PEOPLE ON BASE! Curtis Granderson had brought whoever was on base before him with a homerun, so bases were empty when Polanco went up to bat. Tigers lose, 5-7. But today, I share some of my infinite baseball love for Miggy with Ricky P. Baseball love, Tigers love, brotherly love, LOVE IS ALL!

  1. But Youkilis is Jewish like David, not the Palestinian Goliath. I know he is not much of a looker, but check out this debatably endearing child-acting experience.

  2. looking at the vids on mlb.com
    the miggy hit doesnt seem to be intentional
    tazawa was up 0-2
    no reason to load bases with only one out
    the inside pitch on vmart also dont look intentional to me

    regardless youkilis got owned
    love porcellos 'what, what' posturing
    that may have egged youk into throwing the helmet

  3. Damn I forgot to mention that the title is totally taken from Jenni's tweet to me regarding this incident. So thanks to her for the reference and thanks to Mordecai for the clarification, in case someone were to make big mistakes in identification.

  4. Oh snap I didn't realize videos were on ESPN's MLB homepage. Mordecai pointed out to me that Porcello threw Youkilis down in the way sumo wrestlers win. Makiotoshi?

  5. of course youkie is the one bullying the kids. I believe he had more of a supporting actor role in the Lord of the Rings trilogy as well.
