Thoughts On A Picture

  • This looks like it was shot during the interrogation scene of a gangster movie.

    Wakamatsu: Tell me what I want to know.
    Felix: No.
    Wakamatsu: I highly recommend that you take this opportunity to cooperate.
    Felix:
    Wakamatsu: I am not always this congenial.
    Felix: I don't care.
    Wakamatsu: Tell me, Felix.
    Felix: No.
    Wakamatsu: Give me the information, Felix.
    Felix: No.
    Wakamatsu: Tell me, Felix.
    Felix: No.
    Wakamatsu: SWEET BABY CHRISTOPHER JUST TELL ME WHY YOUR CHANGEUP IS SO GOD DAMN FAST
    Felix: I DON'T KNOW
    Wakamatsu: That's it.
    Felix: What's it?
    Wakamatsu: Tony, Leo, take care of the puppy.
    Felix: WHAT
    Felix:
    WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS
    Felix:
    Felix:
    OH MY GOD
    Wakamatsu: Now tell me what I want to know.
    Felix: YOU ARE A MONSTER

  • I think everybody was surprised when Reynolds' fly ball left the yard. When he first made contact I thought it was going to be a lazy pop-up behind second base. In my head I like to think that Felix just stared in disbelief the whole time and held this pose, frozen, until Wakamatsu came out, waved his hands and snapped his fingers in front of Felix's face, and finally got Felix's attention by twisting his nipples.

  • This is all part of Chris Woodward's plan to make his face just a little bit visible in every picture that's taken while he's up so that a week from now he can prove to all his neighbors that he really was in the Majors. Unfortunately, his efforts are a little too subtle. "There's my name, right there - Bart Simpson." "Looks more like Brad Storch." "No! It says Betty - Betty Symington." :punch: "That's for taking credit for other people's work." 

  • The term "pitcher's duel" is weird to me, if only because no one actually dies, or even gets wounded. And where the best duels involved a blow or a death, the best pitcher's duels hand a mutual shutout over to the bullpen. Pitchers don't so much duel as participate in competitive parenting.

  • An unsupervised duel is a murder.
