Return of the Hit By Pitch Thread
Since it seemed to be such a big hit last time (and since my other picture thread ideas haven't been as easy to pull off as previously anticipated (and totally not because I wound up being too busy this week to actually write something with substance)), the long list full of pictures of grown men being nailed by a wee little pelota has decided to return. Enjoy (and post your own favorites in the comments).
Seems like it would be hard to be a catcher if you're scared of the ball.
David DeJesus is notoriously bad at The Twist.
Can you see the disgust in Bobby Meacham's face?
This does not look like it ends well.

I hope Kotsay gets hit by a dump truck and slips into a coma where he is stuck forever in Baseball purgatory having to bat against a three-headed, six-armed Lefty Hydra consisting of Billy Wagner, Damaso Marte, and Randy Johnson. - Shoeless In SC

unrelated but came across a series of baseball pics that made me cry.

I am more than capable of loving the White Sox like no other, while hating the rotting abortion at Wrigley. Hell, I can also fully hate the Twain, Yankees and Red Sox at the same time!

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we have a full tank of gas, 1/2 pack of cigarettes...it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses.
I wanted to do this too...

It looks like he’s wearing a clown nose.

currently listening to vin scully
not entirely grasping the appeal
"Many people need desperately to receive this message: 'I feel and think much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people do not care about them. You are not alone.'"
it's the sweet dulcet tones.

and the occasional made-up anecdote?
"Many people need desperately to receive this message: 'I feel and think much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people do not care about them. You are not alone.'"
just told less stridently than hawk's.

yeah
it’s not bad, but i don’t get the fawning.
"Many people need desperately to receive this message: 'I feel and think much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people do not care about them. You are not alone.'"
I guess when you compare him to Hawk, I'd much rather have Scully broadcast a loss.
When they’re losing, Hawk actually somehow manages to make me feel worse about it. Scully – or even a pair like Kasper and Brenly, who are relaxed in their own right – would probably ease the pain of a loss. Hawk just pushes a loss to new emotional depths.
But he’s sooooooooooo good during a good game and when they’re going well, that it makes it worthwhile.
"Nice erection, sally."
kasper and brenly blow
It’s taken years of practice to be such an asshole.

It's just a window into baseball's past
Like anything, some people think the old-fashioned way is the best, and others think things have changed for a reason.
I love Vin. I like his voice, I like his cadence, I like his even-keeled nature and his literary references. And I like that a guy who has done it as long as he has still enjoys the game and the players. I can understand why others wouldn’t like him (he talks a lot, and the stories repeat), but at the very least, he has historical value.
I listen to a lot of the road crews, and after hearing the same 40-Something Fox Sports White Guy in what feels like two dozen cities, I’m more drawn to the outliers.
Oh hey! You snuck up on me there! I was just making some homemade pudding! It's me, Roger Maris, inventor of the asterisk. Son of a bitch.

there was a time when i'd say a phrase beginning with 'w' and ending with 'oosh'
but that time has come and gone.
hah!

Right on.
I haven’t listened to Scully in years but to me, he has the perfect voice, demeanor and acumen for calling a baseball game. I can’t imagine him doing football or basketball, it just wouldn’t work.
If is is one handed shitting. by winningugly
That he does the entire broadcast solo is also pretty unique.
He’s the play by play and colourman.

oh its special.
when you catch the dodgers sometime around 10 PM on a nice summers night with the wind blowing through your open windows… very soothing.
