GIF: Yu Darvish Throws a First-Pitch Strike
Because the author, alienated from his humanity by the forces of Capitalism, has no other means by which to establish contact with others than to capture and reproduce video on this absurd corner of the internet, is maybe one reason why he’s made an animated GIF tonight of Yu Darvish throwing an equally absurd first-pitch slider (for a strike) to Matt Joyce from this evening’s Rangers-Rays game.
Another reason is maybe because, having witnessed that same absurd first-pitch slider from Yu Darvish to Matt Joyce from the aforementioned Rangers-Rays game that’s happening tonight, the author felt compelled to share that moment with others, for the purposes of their communal fucking wonderment.
Carson Cistulli says terrible things at The New Enthusiast.
Whoa we’re bringing out the f bombs
You should hear him talk after an episode of FanGraphs Audio when the mics are off.
As a long-suffering fantasy owner of Mr. Darvish, I can assure you this does qualify as a wondrous occasion.
this post reminds me of something i’ve been meaning to say for like 2 years: Can we get more longform Carson please?
Wow. I guess the newspaper was really far away this morning.
Bahaha. I wonder how many people will get this comment.
Dave Stieb called, seems Darvish was over at his house last night and a certain something is now missing.
Sounds like someone’s been hitting the delsym like a cheap magnum of Chablis…
Sometimes, when the right music grows stale, I turn temporarily to icons from the past. During this period, I am appreciating the immortal words of Mr. Frank Sinatra, that shining beacon of inspiration to cultural revolutionaries and hipsters alike ;). If the crush of grandpa’s admonitions, or of that other grey beast, Capitalism, have grown too much to bear, please remember these words. From the Chairman of the Board to the Chairman of NotGraphs:
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels and not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows and did it my way!
Yes, it was my way
Very worthy of profanity, that pitch.
i completely and involuntarily released my bowels when i saw this.
please do not post anymore slider gif’s.
