Photo: Great Moments in Being Joe Nathan
Before the existence of the NotGraphs Investigative Reporting Investigation Team, what happened in the Texas Rangers dugout, stayed in the Texas Rangers dugout. No more.
Joe Nathan: You nasty.
H/T: DAILY DOSE OF BASEBALL. Yes, in all caps.
Navin Vaswani is NotGraphs' Toronto -- and therefore Canada -- correspondent. A loyal Blue Jays supporter, he's heard nothing but good things about the playoffs. Follow him on Twitter.
I think the guy sitting down is ‘The Orioles’ and Joe Nathan is doing his Josh Hamilton impression.
1. It’s only a matter of time before ‘Nathaning’ replaces ‘Tebowing’ as the trendy fad of the day.
2. That would be terrible for society.
3. Two of these three numbered statements are true.
This post should be deleted as it is not about the Toronto Blue Jays.
Seconded.
You guys clearly have no idea what Carson threatened to do to me.
Did he threaten to ‘Joe Nathan’ you in front of your loved ones?
Thankfully, no. That would be in violation of FanGraphs’ Workplace Harassment Policy, anyway. Helluva document, that one.
Did he start to threaten you and then go off on a digression, then make a reference to obscure classical writing, then forget what he was talking about, then repeat a part of his original premise, then chuckle at something, then talk about being from New England?
You forgot to mention italicizing a word for comedic emphasis.
You can calim diplomatic immunity from any punitive measures Carson would attempt to dole out.
True North, Strong and Free.
Excellent use of the loins, Mr. Nathan.
love how the guy’s just sitting there…uhh…taking it…no pun intended.
I guess a good ol’ junk-punch would have been unsportsmanlike.
And decidedly unparliamentary.
It’s nice to see that Joe Nathan has a career planned after baseball.
Hasn’t anyone had their protective cup installed by a teammate’s mouth?
