Have you ever looked at an athlete and wondered how the hell he/she made it as a professional? It could be their body frame. It could just be the look of their face but there’s a part of you that says “this guy should NOT be in Major League Baseball, he just doesn’t look like a player.”
Like you think they might be better off as pro wrestlers or accountants. There’s a certain “look the part” element to being an athlete and when dudes don’t look the part it’s easy to make fun of them.
Today there are certainly some guys that simply don’t look the part and I could see these guys wind up on the 10 o’clock news rather than on a baseball diamond.
Here are seven MLB players that look like they could be criminals…..
The youthful core of the Washington Nationals seems to be gelling nicely. Not exactly. Bryce Harper inked his deal with the Nats in the final minutes yesterday much to the indifference of stud pitcher Stephen Strasburg. His thoughts on the Harper situation…..
I don’t have any advice for him … If he doesn’t want to play here, then we don’t want him here. That’s the bottom line.
Nothing like having a mentor to guide you through the initial stages of the big leagues. My feelings is this is more of a reflection on Bryce Harper than Stephen Strasburg, BUT it cannot be reassuring for upper management. I posted it before in an article (albeit it was for kicks) that Harper has done nothing to endear himself to the general public. The kid is just too cocky, and Strasburg is no saint either. Loads of talent, but also loads of ego and attitude. What a beautiful mess.
It happens every season and it’s what makes or breaks a team in Fantasy Baseball. Either someone completely kicks ass with their draft or they get lucky combing the waiver wire. Whatever the situation it’s those players that exceed expectations that make your fantasy team a contender.
This season? Well this season there’s been plenty of surprises particularly on the offensive side. Some guys are playing way above their heads and frankly I’m sure it’s pissed of plenty of fantasy owners.
Since my team totally sucks this year I decided to take a look at ten reasons why. Here are 10 fantasy surprises on the offensive side of the MLB….
It takes a certain kind of mentality to be a closer in the Major Leagues. Not only do you have to have the “stuff” to get batters out but you have to be very strong mentally. In high pressure situations you need a guy that just doesn’t give a shit. A guy whose got the balls to let loose and go after a hitter.
It’s no wonder that closers come and go. Another prerequisite for closing status? Sometimes it’s a look that’ll get a man. Over the years there have been plenty of wacky looking dudes to come to the mound in the ninth.
Here are seven that I think deem the “most psychotic” looking award.
Little Blooper from Francoeur during the shooting of a Delta commercial. Not sure why Jeff was the pitchman for Delta, not saying it had anything to do with their financial troubles, but maybe he wasn’t the best guy to sell the airline. The writing was on the wall after this whiff.
Have you ever actually looked into this? Ok, stupid question. Seriously though, most teams have people who have performed heroic acts or various dignitaries around the country through out the first pitch. Not the Dodgers. Not in Hollywood baby. The Dodgers enlist every notable hot chick possible in the greater Los Angeles area to open the festivities. I mean screw the one-legged guy, who saved a baby from a burning house. The Dodgers are all about the babes my friends. Check it out…..
I remember when I was going through puberty. Seeing the Cubs haven’t won shit in a 100 years I’m not sure there was a need to scream like you’re being castrated. This is like a muffed up version of Macaulay Culkin. Safe to say this kid may never get laid.
I enjoy when players interact with fans. Not aggressively, but in a humorous manner. This is harmless and pretty funny. Unfortunately, so is Los Lee at the plate this season
