But that would take away from the sanctity of the game!

I think Matt Kemp pawned his gold glove to pay for hitting lessons. A calculated gamble on his part, trying to turn himself into a top-level power hitter, but it definitely seems to have cost him a step fielding. Don't know if it's a result of just different physical training, or different focus, but yikes.

After that video, then seeing Blake DeWitt take a bullet to the leg, I foresee a not too distant future with pitchers wearing SOME form of head protection. Even if it's not much more than a super-padded cap,

What are you talking about? This is still spring training, right?

You know, there may have been more truth in this quip than I realized.

Slightly related note: There's Major League Softball, and they play in our area. I was interested in possibly seeing a game (as MLB games are out of our reach for a while yet) until I saw the team names.

"Low Expectations"
"We Got the Runs"
"Beer Today Gone Tomorrow"

I thought maybe the upper level, men only section would be a little more serious. Then I saw this team name:

"Sofa King Good"

Yeah, I think I'll skip this.

I'm sure everybody's seen this but I had missed it all day.

Absolutely appalling. And I don't mean the boy.

Amusing footnote...the very next night another guy ran onto the field. Bravo says I, putting aside my usual contempt for the idiots who run on the field in favor of the spirit of "fvck tasers as intimidation tools."

The amusing comes in when we learn that this genius ran onto the field...with weed in his pocket and got busted on marijuana possession. Hah.

Had not seen that. Fvcking hell how did the taser threshold drop so low?

Kevy Baby · 05-08-2010, 07:26 PM

I am not watching, just came into get an update via Game Day Live. Only to discover that Haeger couldn't even get an out before being yanked. Ouch.
