Noonskadoodle Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Haven't been paying attention, but has Victorino given up on being a switch hitter? Lol just noticed him facing righties all day & he was batting right handed. Or maybe he is just doing it at Fenway with the monster in LF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Holy s***, 800Razors.com is offering Brian Wilson $1M to shave his beard. f***ing hell man, take that RIGHT NOW.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Holy s***, 20-year-old Javier Baez has 33 HR and 100 RBI this year in 119 games between High-A and AA. Unfortunately for Cubs fans, he also is striking out about 25% and has 41!!! errors at SS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kim must be drinking up a storm. I think I heard Hawk say this a few days ago that the claim by the Nats was done without realizing they'd be picking up deferred money DeJesus was owed, and so they got stuck with an extra million dollars or so that they weren't planning on having to pay.

almagest Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 This isn't MLB, but I found the translations of a couple NPB player fight songs. Both play(ed) for the Yomiuri Giants, and are amazing: Hirokazu Ibata, #6: Sprint with the speed of light Dramatically dash across the diamond Enchant us, Ibata Tony Blanco, #42: Sparkling blue light into the stands A single strike to break your enemies Gods advancing together with us down the straight path Together with the dragons, make your challenge Here and now, show it to us Let your dark blue fighting spirit boil over A single hit to cower your enemies Far and away, let it be free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
