Crazy Bat Tricks
The Big Flapjack —
Maybe this guy should work a little more on actually hitting the ball instead of flinging his bat around. That might help him make it out of double A...just a thought. ...

Yardwork: Memorable Night for Mariano, Chad Gaudin’s Chin and Bat Tricks
The Big Lead —
Yanks 4, Mets 2: The Yanks swept the Subway Series against the injury-depleted Mets, who scored three runs in the series and need to make a trade. Badly. Even Jerry Manuel said it’s a no-brainer. Mariano Rivera notched his 500th save and even got his first career RBI, working a bases loaded walk in the ninth off K-Rod of all people. Mike Francesa will be soaking in the glory all day this afternoon, and he was at Citi Field on Saturday night in front row seats, so I’m sure he’ll have something bad to say about their new park.

Remember Josh Womack of the Long Beach Armada who had the neat little bat trick? Well, it turns out he was only getting started, he’s got a whole bunch more in his arsenal and he’s slowly letting them out as the Armada see a possible way to drum up attention for a player who otherwise hasn’t been too successful. ...

JOSH WOMACK IS LIVING ON A PRAYER
With Leather - Sports news and gossip, panda sex, and the occasional Toonces the driving cat Photoshop —
Indie-leaguer Josh Womack is back with more bat tricks. And holy crap, this guy just makes it looks so awesome. I hate to think what this guy could do to a woman with a baseball bat. But not as much as what I think Elijah Dukes could do to a woman with a baseball bat. It’s funny because he has anger issues. Actually, that’s not so funny. HEY, DOUCHEBAG WITH THE WHITE TENNIES AND SCATTERSHOT BALDNESS! YOU’RE IN MY SHOT!

Josh Womack is Flashy
Bootlegger Sports- Sports Humor Blog —
Minor League baseball player Josh Womack became an Internet sensation a couple weeks ago when video of his amazing, but fake looking, bat tricks hit the web. Now he’s at it again with a whole new line of incredible tricks. I apologize for thinking the original video was a fake, but you can’t tell me it looks legit while you’re watching it. It’s like any movie Eddie Murphy has made in the past 10 years.
For me, the best part is how nonchalant Womack is the whole time. It’s like he’d really rather keep these tricks to himself, but his teammates have forced ...

Seriously, I didn't grant writing privileges to four other people as well as giving Super Sioux Fan free reign to email me her random thoughts at any time for nobody to write anything when I'm busy for a stupid crazy month. I've made it abundantly clear that this month I won't really be able to keep up with the blog regularly, and yet we got one SSF post and nothing from anybody else. You people suck. Now I have to spend time writing about things I don't care that much about, just to make sure all the slack-jawed cretins out there keep coming back. Thanks assfaces. ...

Via Shysterball, Troy Percival’s career is likely over , according to his manager. An all-time Angel , for sure. For the second time this year, Bartolo Colon has gone missing ! Not an all-time Angel. Awful Umpiring asks why so many baseball players (and managers) get ejected, and concludes that it’s because the umpire has no other tool for discipline — no penalty flags, no technical flags, etc. “Because they don’t have a lesser punishment to hand out, they either have to take it, or dish out felony punishment for a misdemeanor.” CNBC has an interesting look at deferred contracts that shows Bernard Gilkey, Matt Williams, ...

FanGraphs Baseball —
Earlier this year, resident ubermensch Dave Cameron submitted for the Reader’s consideration a piece in which he introduced another of FanGraphs’s cutting-edge metrics — namely, Hyperbole Index. Hyperbole Index, or HI, took the world of baseball analysis by storm*, leaving breathless readers of all descriptions, from ESPN Senior Writer Rob Neyer to cunning linguist Snoop Dogg (the latter of whom gushed, “That’s shit’s off the hizzy!”).
*Denotes possible use of hyperbole.
Because I try to have as few original thoughts as possible throughout the day, I’ve opted, in this space, to ride ...
