Today's theme is, "I can't even know what to say."*

This does not look right. Jimmy Rollins looks like he's missing a leg here.

I like it when animals are incorporated into baseball, especially when there's a showdown between humans and non-human animals. What are the eagle and A-Rod thinking?

What could have been said to provoke Erik Bedard's facial expression?

Ichiro is caught stealing a base. There should be a name for this kind of tag out. OWT? CROTCHOUT? COCKSHOT PART THREE**?

So we all know about Carlos Zambrano going absolutely berserk today for a call at home plate. I guess I like this picture because it looks like God (invisible) is intervening by picking him up from the back of his jersey to try to force him to calm down.

God failed. I can't believe that ball he threw went all the way to the bleachers? Was that for real? This is the kind of tantrum a very young child may or may not throw, depending on the parents. The fact that this facial expression is on an adult is out of control***!

*This is a Mariah-Carey-ism, not me being an ESL speaker.
**This is a Lincon Park High School c/o 2002 reference, the video for which I cannot find right now; sorry to those who haven't seen it.
***To keep up with the Mariah-Carey-ism theme†, the proper denotation for "out of control" is "OOC." See track 11 on her most recent album, E=MC², for more information.
†If you don't like the Mariah Carey and baseball combo, I understand. However, it's not an entirely random connection, as she did date Derek Jeter, with whom she reportedly bonded over being biracial. I'll try to minimize the Mimi allusions, but this is just how my brain works.
