Awesome pictures. I'm not afraid to say that Geovany Soto is an attractive man.

 

Kerry's goatee is also quite impressive.

That's closer's facial hair he's sporting right there. Rod Beck would be proud.

Hamilton...wow!

[Outshined_One]

Braun the best Jewish hitter since Hammerin' Hank?

 

He's the best Jewish athlete since Bill Goldberg.

[Wilson A2000]

How many feet will it take to get one out? 600?

[TMan92]

a photographer almost got beheaded.

[Wilson A2000]

When they don't show it, you know someone almost got hurt. Watch out cameraman.

What the hell is Joe talking about??

 

 

Time for another posting of....

 

Dear Joe:

Does the phrase "Get over yourself" mean anything to you? This is not to deny that you were a major league player, and even that you were a better player than Harold Reynolds, who I suppose must have been an All-Star sometime; what the hell, Dave Chalk made two All-Star games. This is not to deny that you were a brilliant player, Joe, but you are becoming a self-important little prick. Grow up, you little weenie. People make fun of one another; this is called friendship. This is life; only self-important twits take offense at that kind of thing. Jeez, man, get a life. Preferably not on television.

 

Your friend, Bill James.

Yankee Stadium is going to erupt tomorrow when Hamilton comes to bat.

Please hit the truck.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

I haven't seen Pujols around.

[BCVM22]

I haven't seen Pujols around.

 

Past his bedtime. He's not as young as he used to be.

[Outshined_One]

Please hit the truck.

 

Glad to see I'm not the only one thinking that.

Ian Kinsler is Jewish. Youkilis isn't bad either.

[OleMissCub]

this is stupid, just play the rest of the competition.

 

Oh, and next year...I want aluminum bats.

[Wilson A2000]

This is stupid. I have been hearing abbot this promotion for a while and I knew it was stupid then.

I don't think MLB wants to be liable for all of the deaths that would result from that.

[Wilson A2000]

Terrible swings.

[Butterscup1679666578]

well that was boring.

[Wilson A2000]

Can those professional 12-inch softball hitters hit it farther than these guys?

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Did anyone else catch the near upskirt from Erin Andrews earlier?

 

Pics plz.

 

It was a near upskirt. When she was sitting behind Michael Young. Could see up to mid thigh.

I'll take that. at what point in the footage?

I don't think so. A little while back they had a mini-home run derby for those guys before a Rockies game that I was at. They were hitting them far, probably like 450, but nothing close to what Hamilton was doing.
