Thoughts On A Picture

  • Much like Bigfoot, Chris Shelton is both easily identifiable and best viewed from a distance.

  • Chris Shelton was supposed to be in focus, but the camera resisted.

  • This is the picture Chris Shelton's mom has framed on the mantle.

  • Chris Shelton's better side is neither his left nor his right, but twenty paces.

  • When he isn't wearing a hat, Chris Shelton looks like someone put furry red handcuffs around a fish.

  • NOW YOU SEE, CARLOS. NOW YOU SEE WHAT IT'S LIKE

  • According to the penal definition, whereby a criminal becomes remorseful over learning that his actions had real consequences on real people, Carlos Silva has been rehabilitated.

  • Franklin Gutierrez has a look of smug but indifferent resignation, like he's sitting there thinking "well whatever I did my part." Which is probably true. Life's hard when you're that much better than pretty much everyone around you. Just ask Adrian Gonzalez, or Babe.

  • Notice that Silva has about six feet of empty bench space on either side of him.

Huh...

Chris Shelton Squats at Third Base

I see what you mean…

It's been a while since we've seen a pitcher who looks like he smells

Carlos Silva’s just doing his bit to rectify the situation.

Regarding the second-to-last point,

I think you’re forgetting Franklin’s missed catch on that fly at the wall. The game was probably lost by that point anyway, but it killed my boner.

Whatever, he went 3-5
But unlike Shelton...

Bigfoot is real.

And it was then that Franklin Gutierrez removed his hat...

and revealed the re-haired troll head growing out of his skull.

Notice, also ...

Silva is about 6 feet from Franklin, yet still bigger in the frame. Apparently, the laws of perspective and vanishing point do not apply to him.

Silva looks like...

He has a nice game of gameboy tetris going on.

The mirrors installed on the front wall of the dugout...

don’t appeal to everybody.

Spot the richest motherfucker in the photo
He's getting his space for a reason...

Carlos is a very hungry man and Mike Morse wasn’t actually traded.

Also...

That pretty much sums it up.
The picture of Shelton at Utah seems to confirm Jeff's theory that cameras exhibit resistance

when faced with Shelton.

Yikes, that is creepy.
So... the all fugly team?
SP has to be this guy


although I’d prefer to keep this to living players

Randy Johnson is one ugly fucker.
Willie McGee is on that team as is Otis Nixon.
This reminds of the portion of Tosh.0 when he tries to cram as many jokes about one video as he can into 20 seconds.
I could've done more
Well, unlike Tosh.0, this actually made me laugh.

It’s a shame that one of the best stand-up comics around has one of the worst shows around.
