At Bat: Undefined

I don't know why I think it's so funny when StatTracker lists players as "Undefined." That said, I really enjoy the mental image of Harang and Sowers pitching on an empty field.

Girls in Baseball

You don't see very many girls in baseball. Here are some I caught a month or so ago. I forgot I had this photo saved on a different computer. Enjoy.

FLORIDA MARLINS' MERMAID GIRLS

Photos of the Day, 6/25/09

Carlos Silva "plants a kiss" on Ichiro's cheek.

Jose Valverde is back!

Reverse Samson! Magglio hit a HR last night. I think he feels refreshed.

Why does Manny look like a Sk8r Boi? Why is his belly protruding?

Hair Photos of the Day

I read this afternoon before games started that Magglio Ordonez got his hair cut, and eagerly awaited photos on Yahoo!'s gallery. They did not disappoint. He looks like a young boy! He's on first base here, right? Is this the Reverse Samson Effect?

And then I noticed that someone else was missing signature locks: Vladimir Guerrero!

I'm calling it now, as unlikely as it is: the next player to cut his hair is MANNY. It'll be his way of saying sorry, breaking up, and moving on. I hear that when girls in Japan cut their hair and thus drastically change their image, it's a symbolic way of having broken up with someone and marching on into the future.

Perhaps then, all those stupid Mannywood wigs will go away.

Photos of the Day, 6/23/09

I've been busy with a variety of things this past week or so, but thankfully the iPhone has kept me up to date. Also, the hotel in Pennsylvania had the MLB Network, in addition to the inferior ESPN.

More interleague this week, and some noteworthy photos popping up.

I think this photo was taken before Lincecum gave up a HR to professional shithole Jason Giambi.

David Price seemed to have had some issues in the first inning. Here is CHUTEY's Price giving up a HR to CHUTLEY's Utley, who is fuzzily rounding the bases in the background.

Impending Doom has some issues themselves, but here is their Rios stealing third.

Inge is perhaps tired of being surprised at himself doing so well despite not being a big star for the Tigers. Here he is falling asleep after hitting his HR, and it looks like a child scrawled something on his forearm with eyeliner or that eye smudge stuff. tOMA?

Hit By Pitch's Hanley hits a grand slam against the Orioles, or more accurately/importantly, against Impending Doom.

Grady comes back from the DL, here he is anxious to hit a triple for Ladies Love Us. Welcome back, Grady!

Jorge Cantu hits the game winning single, scoring Emilio Bonifacio. I've seen video of Jorge celebrating a walk-off something or other, and there he ended up celebrating awkwardly too.

Some other gems from the past couple of days:

Emilio Navarro throws the ceremonial first pitch...the caption said he played in the Negro Leagues and is 103 years old. I can't get over this.

There were so many Getty Image photos of Pujols from yesterday's game with the Mets. Every single hair on his face is in place, it's amazing. Click on the image for full size.

Davonte Kelly throws the ceremonial first pitch today at CitiField. Apparently he was hit by a stray bullet in Brooklyn while taking a picture for his baseball team some time ago. That's some crazy talk.

Ozzie must think the umpire speaks crazy talk too, here he is tossing the lineup card after getting ejected from the game today against the Dodgers.

OMG I am in such a foul mood. The weather here in Chicago is horrible. It's not so much the rain itself (temperatures are not too low) but the commuting, unsuccessful shopping, and being quasi-stranded in it that make me angry. And here I was thinking that there is nothing worse than unsuccessful shopping in the rain, but no! I check scores and see that Justin Verlander gives up four runs in the first inning against the P.O.S. Cardinals. Could there be something worse than that? Oh yes. INTENTIONALLY WALKING ALBERT PUJOLS NOT ONCE, BUT TWICE. I'm mad because Verlander didn't wimp out against Jim Thome last week, not that the White Sox had any lead nor is Albert Pujols the same entity as Jim Thome. I was led to believe that Verlander is THE TRUTH (nickname by Rod Allen, who for unknown reasons I started following on Twitter), but shit, I saw FALLACIES when I last checked the box score.

I refuse to check any more box scores today, though maybe I'll check things at midnight. I like Joe's method from back in May where he would close Stat Tracker in disgust and fall asleep, and then would wake up to great things for his team.



...But you know I still love Justin.

If Stat Tracker ever reads 7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7, Yahoo! Fantasy Sports should give us each a million dollars.
