PrintToday is an off day. Let's enjoy this by having a thread where I type less than 200 words and show an abundance of grown men being pegged by baseballs. Feel more than encouraged to fill the comments with pictures of your favorites.
Enjoy!
So limber.
Alex Avila=not very manly.
I'm amazed this actually hit Daric Barton.
Acting like an airplane will not save you Jason Kubel.
Cody Ross was apparently never taught to not show how much it hurts.
Freddy Sanchez loves playing Cowboys and Indians.
This ended about as well as one would expect any baseball to the face situation to.
The largest target in baseball?
Dance on Cesar, dance on.
Hope you enjoy your night off. Baseball is back tomorrow.

shame, now espn doesn't get sox power rankings blurbs from unknown sox blogs.

worse, the guy cited is a twain!
I love seasons too. That's why I live in a place that skips the shitty ones.
i guess rosters and not records determine 'power rankings'.
Some people get so rich they lose all respect for humanity. That's how rich I want to be.
Carlos Quentin knows how to take a pitch like a man.
He’ll take a 96 mph heater to the ribs and act like its a mild annoyance.

Wanna talk about tomorrow?
Gavin Floyd vs. Luke Hochevar.
We last saw this matchup last May, at USCF.
The result wasn’t pretty:
http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHA/CHA201005040.shtml
Hochevar had a lot of success against the Sox last year. But both of his starts were in May, at the height of the “troubles.”
It will be interesting to see how he does against an offense that appears to be better.
The guy at the bank doesn't care how many trophies you've got!
We've discussed this to death before, but...
http://www.cnbc.com/id/42381528/
Of particular interest: the Sox seem to justify having some of the highest prices for non-premium tickets and for parking by being just a bit cheaper than the other show in town.
"I'm the Chicago man. I'm vital in Chicago." -Willy Ohman, Act 1
We'll see how long that can last.
One of the things they have been talking about a lot over on BCB is attendance, and the # of tickets that are still available, which seems to be quite a lot compared to previous years.

whatever will they do without that chestnut?
"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.'"
And then the Ricketts use it as another reason they need the State to do the bond issue.

that guy is such a nutball
Seriously. Maybe it takes one to know one but that post screams personality disorder. Doesn’t take a genius to figure out why the Cubs are unpopular outside of their fanbase. Hint: It has to do with the fanbase.
Shit, my Cubs fan friends are the most uninterested I have ever seen them. The ones that enjoy the sport are more interested in what the Sox do this year.

I don't read that site - because I'm not a Cub fan
basically the same reason why I don’t seek out and follow a Cincinnati Bengals blog. Disinterest.
That being said, gee, why might Reds’ and Brewers’ fans hate the Cubs…? Hmmmm. My first thought would be the Cubs are a large market team that swallows alot of oxygen. But anyone who has any self-awareness might realize this, since Al Yellon has to have heard that or read that on his own boards numerous times.
2nd thought would be that they’re in the same division…? Why do I not give 2 shits about the Blue Jays, yet hate the Indians with all my being and those of anyone I can possess? Maybe because we compete with the Indians?
3rd, yes, the teams that travel well are irritating, especially when their team seemed to clinch the division in our park about 5 times during the 90’s. Get over it. Yes, when you go to the other teams park, and bring banners, and all, that doesn’t mean you’re “better fans”, which we certainly hear alot, it means there’s more of you.
And Jesus Christ, you live in fucking Chicago!! There’s, what, 5x the amount of people here as there are in Milwaukee? Of course there’s more Cub fans. There’s 3 million Chicagoans, and 600k Milwaukeans. Does that mean that Chicago’s “better” than Milwaukee? Only an asshole would whine that argument to anyone who would listen.

I wrote a couple of posts a month ago about the WSox in the 90's
our team was despised during that decade, and it sucked worse each time we trotted out Greg Norton or Lyle Mouton as the next rookie phenom. We looked cheap and stupid.
And we all pretty much knew why we were hated, agreed with those who hated us, and we would have hated us, too, were we from somewhere else.
No self-pitying, “We chant ‘we wanna hit’, and are just adorable the way we cheer every foul-ball like it’s strike three, and we’re lovable, why don’t you love us?” bullshit. We knew why we were hated, and we put up with it.
Cub fans are like that drunk lady at the bar you stumble into at 3 in the morning on a Tuesday, just looking for one last beer, and there she is, bar hag. You nod to be polite, and before you know it, she’s trying to make out with you, or eat something out of your beard, can’t quite tell, because her face looks paralyzed in her drunken stupor. You get to the point where you’re just placing your full palm right on the middle of her face, pushing her away like a dog, and then she snaps. The last thing you remember, as neighbors and cops are pulling her off of you, bloody shreds of your t-shirt in her fists, is this drunken pig simultaneously screaming that she’s going to slit your fucking throat, and why don’t you like her?!?!?!
Al Yellon, behold thyself.

TF's is probably the hottest corner of the four.
Original visitors' friend in the Lancaster County area!
Yes, you are correct.
I am working my way up to it. I was thinking of expanding upon why I became a wsox fan.
the bar hag anecdote is a reasonable facsimile of what once happened to me after a white sox game where a vendor threw a pre-game party, and we ended up taking a baseball cap box (holds 24 caps) full of beer cups (full of beer, of course) up to our seats. (Strangely enough, the box held about 24 beers.)
We kept trying to sneak into the golden box seats, and the Andy Frain kid would come up and ask if we were with our vendor’s party. We kept saying no, forgetting we were wearing branded caps. We’d move back, and as soon as he would walk back to his post about 50 feet away, we’d “sneak” back down.
I don’t think we were thrown out, but we definitely left by the 5th inning. I was certainly too drunk to watch the game coherently, so of course, I drove to the bar back in my neighborhood.
Her come on was, “But look, I have such boo-ti-ful legs”, my witty retort was, “No, you don’t! Fuck off!” Was so drunk that a full on knee in the balls took a few seconds to climb up my stomach to my head. She tore my Clash t-shirt, so I went to hit her (this was 20 years ago when that was still a fashionable move). I basically reached back to my heels, missed her by a foot, and that only made her angry.
2 police officers were dragging her into a paddy wagon, and she was making this weird muscle flexing stance, where she was punching herself in the chest, shouting, “I keel you, mother fucker!!”
My friend, the bouncer, came up and told me I better get lost fast. We both agreed that if somehow, one of those cops lost his grip, that broad would have beaten the living shit out of me.

and if someone wants the other side of a bet that rickie weeks get plunked, i'll double down on that forever.

but how is his swinging on first pitch?
I love seasons too. That's why I live in a place that skips the shitty ones.
33.33% so far. (4 for 12) he has only put one in play though, and it was a double.
unfortunately there is a slight problem with data at this time (not with first pitch data) as baseball-reference has Q seeing 39 pitches so far and mlb and fangraphs have him seeing 38. so i don’t know if his P/PA is 3.25 or 3.167. i’m not sure quite how to rectify this problematic and disheartening situation.

One summer as I was realizing I liked baseball, I decided to see how each Chicago team was doing
This was the Cubs game I saw:
Turns out the other Chicago team did a little better that year, and I haven’t looked back since.
Our manager wears 13, we were supposedly cursed, and we wear black. Let's play.
(Although I do feel bad about what happened to him and his career after this.)
