That last one was funny, I was completely serious!
I had to look him up just now. It’s pretty rare that I actually watch a game and I never go to LAAA games at Safeco, it’s weird but I prefer the radio broadcasts.
I was assuming he would be a ruddy character from Austrian or Hungarian stock.
Muscular, grinning, and well-tanned, you know? Not this guy, who looks like he’s a level 80 Orc Hunter or whatever and only plays baseball because his daddy will hit him otherwise.
Of course, if he plays well I’ll love him unconditionally.
Soooo...
…predictable.
PositivePaul - June 29, 2009
That's not very nice
OlSalty - June 29, 2009
He's no Jeff Clement.
russak - June 29, 2009
Huh...
PositivePaul - June 29, 2009
It's the hair
OlSalty - June 29, 2009
Is that Clement on the top photo? That's not his good side at all
Kermit. - June 29, 2009
High school pic, yes.
PositivePaul - June 29, 2009
I think you mean
Poochie - June 29, 2009
Everytime I see this picture I have a hard time believing this is Clement.
Every other picture I have seen of him he does not look like this. Also he doesn’t look like this on the TV.
Kirk - June 30, 2009
The ears definitely aren't big enough...
PositivePaul - June 30, 2009
No wonder Clement has been a bust..he doesn't know how to hold a bat.
kentroyals5 - June 30, 2009
He looks like the guy from Twin Peaks.
Rollo Tomasi - June 29, 2009
I think he looks like an even more spaced out version of Keanu Reeves with a mullet and a baseball cap
Graham MacAree - June 29, 2009
My god, he's white
Maybe he’s alternate universe Endy…
I Lick Squirrels - June 29, 2009
His name is Ryan Langerhans.
What were you expecting? He didn’t throw us a loop like Khalil Greene.
Mariner John - June 29, 2009
People didn't think Khalil Greene was white?
Kermit. - June 29, 2009
Based solely on his name? No I did not.
Mariner John - June 29, 2009
Honestly, I didn't
For an entire year.
Karma Police - June 29, 2009
This one kind of surprises me. Odd.
If I decided he was a nice Jewish boy because his last name is Greene, would that make me a bigot or something along those lines?
Kermit. - June 29, 2009
Not at all.
gregrabble - June 29, 2009
Perhaps I should've used Reggie Willits.
Mariner John - June 29, 2009
He's white? No freaking way
Kermit. - June 30, 2009
Whatever. I'll just stop trying.
Mariner John - June 30, 2009
That last one was funny, I was completely serious!
I had to look him up just now. It’s pretty rare that I actually watch a game and I never go to LAAA games at Safeco, it’s weird but I prefer the radio broadcasts.
Kermit. - June 30, 2009
Ah, ok.
I took it as sarcasm. Damn you internets!
Mariner John - June 30, 2009
I miss seeing the Khalil-bot when we play SD.
Social Anxiety FTL

That's not just a San Diego thing.

Poochie - June 29, 2009
I have spent the last year under the distinct impression that Gordon Beckham was black.
abender20 - June 30, 2009
Were you confusing him with Tim?
Graham MacAree - June 30, 2009
Nope!
abender20 - June 30, 2009
Although having never seen Gordon but seeing Tim probably didn't help matters.
abender20 - June 30, 2009
I saw him last weekend, he's definitely a honky
pdb - June 30, 2009
I assumed Gordon and Tim were brothers since I first looked at the 2008 draft.
Since they’re both from Georgia and are three years apart.
Decatur - June 30, 2009
I also assumed that Gordon was a brother.
abender20 - June 30, 2009
Well, Tim's actual brother (who's 4 years older) was drafted in 2008 as well.
But it’s Jeremy, not Gordon.
marc w - June 30, 2009
Jeremy Beckham is the best thing to happen to our minor league system in a while.

R.J. Anderson - June 30, 2009
I never pimp without my golf club.
Kirk - June 30, 2009
During their minor league days
I had the ethnicities of Greene and Adan Jones swapped.
msb - June 30, 2009
I'm convinced that Jones and Willits had a name transplant
Graham MacAree - June 30, 2009
Perhaps there was some confusion at the hospital? Happens sometimes, maybe I should have googled a pic of Willits parents
Kermit. - June 30, 2009
I spent several months thinking Graham was black.
Or gay. I couldn’t figure out which.
Now I know why.
Llewdor - June 30, 2009
The name Greg Halman, playing for the Netherlands no less, led me to believe he was white.
qrsouther - June 30, 2009
Bloody colonials always confusing things
pdb - June 30, 2009
I'll say
qrsouther - June 30, 2009
I was assuming he would be a ruddy character from Austrian or Hungarian stock.
Muscular, grinning, and well-tanned, you know? Not this guy, who looks like he’s a level 80 Orc Hunter or whatever and only plays baseball because his daddy will hit him otherwise.
Of course, if he plays well I’ll love him unconditionally.
I Lick Squirrels - June 29, 2009
Or Cal Turk

JAH - June 30, 2009
The whole "Langerhans" thing didn't give a clue about his ethnicity?
vivaelpujols - June 30, 2009
God dammit he is handsome kind of
Jeff Sullivan - June 29, 2009
Boy is he tan
Jeff Sullivan - June 29, 2009
He looks like he's blushing
OlSalty - June 29, 2009
Still not as tan as this guy was
Goose - June 30, 2009
He looks a lot better without the mullet
Which is shocking to ~nobody
OlSalty - June 29, 2009
His neck is too thick for my tastes.
Poochie - June 29, 2009
He's probably slow and bad at defense
Jeff Sullivan - June 29, 2009
Or he has his own show on the IFC Channel
Poochie - June 29, 2009
Is it asinine?
OlSalty - June 29, 2009
The only time I watched was when Sleater-Kinney was the musical guest.
Poochie - June 29, 2009
Samesies
Kirsten Schlewitz - June 30, 2009
Now that's more like it.
Let’s just hope Gutz doesn’t get distracted on balls hit to left center.
I Lick Squirrels - June 29, 2009
Gutz can always focus during the game because he knows he will get 100% of what he wants after the game.
Decatur - June 29, 2009
That just says former convict to me. What happened to the fresh faced boy in the Braves jersey?
Kermit. - June 30, 2009
He looks like someone who would have douchey neck tattoos.
I bet he’s at least considered it.
SethGrandpa - June 30, 2009
You do have a license to do this.
Poochie - June 29, 2009
Is that poof serious hair?
I hope its a shadow…
OceanBird - June 29, 2009
Sweet. We have prepubescent steroid free Jose Canseco circa 1984 on our team.
CapSea - June 30, 2009
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
He will never be my favorite player.
Kirsten Schlewitz - June 30, 2009
C'mon, he's a looker.
oh, wait.
msb - June 30, 2009
Ok, so doing a little further research
He’s sensitive, he’s gritty, and apparently he had a fun wedding
msb - June 30, 2009
Apparently he was accompanied by Ryan Langerhans.
Kirsten Schlewitz - June 30, 2009
It's not really a wedding if your doppelganger doesn't attend.
msb - June 30, 2009
Of course his wedding party involved a man named Kelly.
abender20 - June 30, 2009
Oh, Paul.... You got everything wrong but they named shit after you anyway.
marc w - June 30, 2009
Uh oh.
The Yanks are countering with Eric Hinske.
msb - June 30, 2009
OH NO
Jeff Sullivan - June 30, 2009
I think Mr. Langerhans will fit right in here.
Decatur - June 30, 2009
Initial picture, Langerhans looks like the pedo from "Little Children"
qrsouther - June 30, 2009
or as some think of him....
Raaaalllllllllllll from The Phantom of the Opera
msb - June 30, 2009
Or Roger Dorn from Major League.
qrsouther - June 30, 2009
Is Aardsma going to sleep with his wife?
Craig Powers - June 30, 2009
Looks like Ostreicher
