VIDEO: Rick Ankiel has a Cannon

Deadspin found this 6 days ago on www.bugsandcranks.com [flag]

You’re telling me the same guy who inexplicably lost the ability to accurately throw a baseball 60 feet, 6 inches, now has the ability to make these throws? To have two throws of that distance, with that accuracy, to nail two very speedy individuals, in the same game, is almost uncanny. If you’ve seen a better throw than the second one… share your story, and ... [link]

Rick Ankiel Can Hit the Broad Side of a Barn if it’s 300 Feet Away
Published 5 days ago by Patrick Imig at The Big Lead
... Cards/Rockies game: Rick Ankiel launches two of the best throws you’ve seen all year. The second one is pretty ridiculous. Also, I’d like to point out that if Derek Jeter or David Wright sprinted from 2nd to home on a groundout to win a game as Albert Pujols did two nights ago, the WWL would still be talking about it. That’s not homer-ism, that’s (projected) fact. [Bugs and Cranks] **If this video gets taken down by MLB, head here for the ...

... 7. The St. Louis Cardinals Can Beat the Cubs. I’m saying it’s possible, but definitely not likely. For one, the Cards are going to need to keep Albert Pujols on the field and as long as he can play through pain, there will be hope. Rick Ankiel will need to keep hitting and avoiding the strikeout at a reasonable level, something he has done so far. It won’t hurt if Ankiel keeps doing this either. The slew of corner outfielders who have hit well will need to keep doing that. Yadier Molina and Adam Kennedy ...

Shots Fired At Coors Field Last Night

c-russ posted 5 days ago from www.bugsandcranks.com

Local authorities are reporting that two shots from a high-powered rifle, reportedly in the shape of Rick Ankiel’s left arm, were fired from the centerfield warning track last night at Coors Field. No one was fatally injured, but the pride of Willy Taveras and Omar Quintanilla suffered substantial damage. Reports have also shown that several people in the Denver area are in a state of shock.

Ankiel Throws Strikes From Centre Field

Callum posted 3 days ago from mopupduty.com

Most outfielders with extraordinary arms get converted into pitchers. This is what happens when pitchers get converted into outfielders. Funny how a guy can’t throw a strike from 60 feet but can throw one from 200 feet.

Rick Roll

Posted 5 days ago on The Off-Color Commentator

I've often thought (and occasionally said) that Rick Ankiel had one of the most fascinating -- and these days, surprisingly satisfying -- pro sports careers of our time. On Tuesday night, he added another chapter to his story, Roy Hobbs -style. If you haven't seen these two throws , you best get your thumb out of your bunghole and take a look. This is pure filth.

In the throws of Ankiel

Posted 5 days ago on Bird Land » Bird Land

DENVER — Even after the game, in the Cardinals clubhouse, there was quiet discussion about which of Rick Ankiel’s two lightning bolts from deep center field to third base were the best. The first one beat one of the fastest runners in baseball by at least a stride to third base. The second, well, it, Larry Walker joked, traveled further from the outfield than Ankiel’s home ...

To either of Ankiel's two throws last night, please email me or post a comment. I can't find one, and I really, really want to see them. Boy what must it have been like to be at the last 2 games at Coors? First Pujols' mad dash, then the Rick Ankiel Show. Wow. I hope they're still playing that well when they hit the West Coast in 2 weeks. I'd have that look too if I had the game he just ...

Rick Ankiel's Cannon Throws Out Runner at Third, Twice

I somehow forgot to include these two unbelievable throws in the MLB Walk-Off below, but on second and third viewing I believe it deserves it's own post. Rick Ankiel lost the ability to hit a catcher's mit over home plate long ago, but what he hasn't lost is his cannon. Nor his accuracy, so long as the target is third base. Check out these two absurd throws from deep center ...
