First, Bedard is smiling until he sees Olson then he quickly looks away. Then we see Olson pop out right behind Russell and Felix, look Felix right in the eyes and immediately realise that he is a third wheel. Then, after he is ignored by Bedard, Russ. Felix and Beltre even, he attempts to save face by pretending that he was getting a drink all along.
“Before the game, Russell Branyan occasionally shows Mariners guests of players’ kids a trick where he smashes a cooler cup and it makes a loud popping sounds. That would likely be the source of Felix’s ecstatic cup smashing as many other players on the team try to imitate Branyan but nobody yet has. "
When Felix is happy I am happy.

Also, when Erik Bedard is in a Felix / Branyan man hug .gif I am even happier.
royalcurve - July 23, 2009
We now have footage of Felix embracing both Branyan and Gutierrez
Jeff Sullivan - July 23, 2009
It should be our goal to have every player on the roster hugging him by the end of the season
gregrabble - July 23, 2009
It will happen. There will also be some champagne involved.
M'sin.. - July 23, 2009
Hot.
Phil Hatzenbuehler - July 23, 2009
Johnson?
seattlebruin - July 23, 2009
Felix embracing his johnson.
Phil Hatzenbuehler - July 23, 2009
Well, he apparently married a Jew too, so I'm not sure what to think about that night for him.
Mazel Tov!
Vatinius - July 23, 2009
Except it was Sweeny.
Odd.
Kirsten Schlewitz - July 23, 2009
Almost in slow motion, too.
Kirsten Schlewitz - July 23, 2009
Branyan has the happy "finally" smile that says,
“I’ve been looking forward to this hug since about second base.”
Attractive Nuisance - July 23, 2009
That is EXACTLY the smile.
royalcurve - July 23, 2009
Guti was glowering jealously at his icepack
Bearskin Rugburn - July 23, 2009
When he rounded third I turned to my wife and said...
“Don’t miss the dugout shot – I bet Felix gives Branyan a hug!”
Called that one, too…
I showed her the Felix hugging Gutz gif this morning and she died laughing…
PositivePaul - July 23, 2009
Beltre kind of looks like he wants some of that water/gatorade.
Matthew - July 23, 2009
Yeah he kind of does look like he wants some of it.
He’s just kind of hanging out by it like “dammit Felix get out of the way”.
Kirk - July 23, 2009
And those were the last two cups
OlSalty - July 23, 2009
Kind of like how the day before they showed Beltre and Bedard glaring at Felix after he kept throwing sunflower seeds at them
seattlebruin - July 23, 2009
That hug was touching.
gregrabble - July 23, 2009
These Gifs just make me so happy.
joof - July 23, 2009
5.5 out? So what!
Don’t fear the Angeles
lemonverbena - July 23, 2009
Oh dear lord there are Angel furries?
Eyebrows - July 23, 2009
You deserve them.

Garrett Olson in these.gifs is sad

Sad.
pakipaki - July 23, 2009
Wow, you're right, he really does look sad
gregrabble - July 23, 2009
No one wanted to talk to Olsen.
Even Erik had to dart out of the way.
apsve - July 23, 2009
Olsen looks like the kid that was just grounded for a month and is being dragged along to his parents' dinner party.
Fin - July 23, 2009
I just lost an hour of my life watching the first .gif
And still feel much better for it.
tinit - July 23, 2009
What a guy, that Mike Sweeney.
abender20 - July 23, 2009
So, do gatorade cups make that satisfying "pop" sound when you stomp them?
msb - July 23, 2009
Sure did!
Just got done watching/listening to each broadcast’s replay.
Wilder. - July 23, 2009
That's the intent
On Felix smashing the cup:
Jeff Sullivan - July 23, 2009
See???
Russell is just so much better at these manly things.
msb - July 23, 2009
Well that...
…and it certainly showed his ankle was fine…
PositivePaul - July 23, 2009
So awesome. These .gifs just made my day.
Zwakamatsu - July 23, 2009
My favorite part is the bemused look on Bedard's face as the hug begins.
abender20 - July 23, 2009
"What is this these two human beings are doing?"
“A hoog? A hag? A hug? What is this ‘hug’ thing?”
ImaginaryRomances - July 23, 2009
Hrmph!
royalcurve - July 23, 2009
Bonus points to whomever
makes the first gif of Felix curb stomping an Angel’s player
Trenchtown - July 23, 2009
Yes
abender20 - July 23, 2009
Forget bonus points. I'll buy them a beer.
If they under under 21 I will buy them a Popsicle.
Sec 108 - July 23, 2009
Somehow I'm betting Scruffy already has done this
