A Big Fat Drunk Dodger Fan
I choose not to discuss the Sherpa land train wreck today. Instead, I am posting a thread about this guy. Someone on the internet called him the Dodgers “biggest fan.”
This pic makes me happy inside. Jesus, think about how much volume is *inside* this guy. Little known fact: Elvis Presley died on the toilet with 20 pounds of shit still inside his body. I think there is now physical photographic evidence that this guy has him beat…….
A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball 
I really like to wipe my hands across my sweaty balls, and give my fingers a lick. My mom tried to break me of this disgusting habit when I was but a wee young dickhead, but she failed…I still just love to do this.
Too bad Birdie, like Mooch said once, “bummer”…
A lot of American males look like this and are not ashamed. Too many fat people. The diet is all wrong.
Did they make him pay for two seats?
Shit, he needs 2 rows . . .
I’m guessing they ran out of Dodger Dogs today.
I wonder if anyone has invented the Fatso Defender. No more Pablo jokes, please . . . .
More exposed surface area there than a lot of solar panels.
For that guy to pull an oblique, you’d have to find it first…
Good on the Nats to win that marathon vs. the Doghairs.
Nats proving that they’ve got some post-season type cojones.
They are going to be tough to beat in the post-season, and look to have home field…
Won’t be the first time. They have been the darlings of the post-season a few times of late, and, well, we all know how that played out. Get in, get hot, and the rest just doesn’t matter. But yeah, it was bad-ass to see the Natty Nats win a marathon against the bums, and in their house to boot. The dodgers suck balls just like our resident troll, Vogelscheiße.
I think that fat fuck is a relative of Mr. Creosote…Monty Python fans will remember him…
I was at my local watering hole today to fill out my picks for a couple of weekly pools in which I participate, and the bum-Nats game was on. It is so damned cool the way people are so engrossed in Giants baseball right now. As soon as the Nats added-on with the HR, the whole place just erupted. You would have thought our boys in the Orange and Black had just won their 3rd in 5. And a couple of days ago when Gail and I were out to dinner, and the Giants rallied, but came up a bit short against the Sherpas, (I think it was when the Giants pulled within a run. or maybe tied the game), the whole bar/restaurant just erupted. So fucking cool!
Will it be a September to Remember?
Funny shit Chi.. haven’t sen meaning of life in many years!
Yeah, I haven’t seen that flick in a really long time, either. For some reason the thread picture triggered the association.
That’s what you see when Machi and Flablo remove their corsets (without help from Victoria’s Secret, they couldn’t play at all).
Corsets or not, they get it done more often than not, dickhead. It doesn’t matter what type of help you might have…the only playing you can do is with that needle dick of yours.
When addressing the mirror, I always use one with at a minimum, 10 power magnification, so that I can find my pencil dick.
Somebody here lacks a sense of humour.
actually I thought your 2:47pm was pure gold, well done.
Yes, Vogs got hammered, but I’ve seen it happen to way better pitchers than him there. Over all he has had surprising season to me and been much better than TL or Cain, both of whom make way more than he does.
Let’s see how he finishes up.
Such a funny season, up and down in so many ways. Since Uribe Burrell days Giants have been looking for more pop, esp RH. So now there is Pence Posey Morse and Susac…looks like quite enough to me.
Sandoval got off to terrible start, but he’s at .288 and has played pretty good 3b. Makes me wonder if the odd man out isn’t Belt.
Interested to see if the young flamethrowers are ready, and if they have another go to pitch. After Detroit, rest of sched is NL West., 6 home 9 road before Padres come to town last weekend. Shades of 2010?
Wasn’t so long ago bloggers were talking about *blowing it up* and years of doom ahead for the org.
Um, I don’t think so. Giants don’t have any more holes than anyone else and have survived a ton of shit this year to remain in the hunt.
As for the Nats, watching them throw away the game vs. Kershaw (botched rundown was horrible) makes me wonder if they have the cojones to win it or are just front runners.
Yep. I have never been in the “blow it up camp” this year. I said a month or so ago that I truly thought this team had another run or two in them for this year. And guess the fuck what…WAH LAH. Anything could happen at this point. Stay hot, Gigantes…
That pic gives a whole new meaning to side-boob.
*urk*
Thanks for posting that clip, Chi. Classic. I can’t count the times I have channeled Monty Python when I’m teaching “over here” to share “western humor”. Every morning, I go up and down the aisles saying “morning… morning…. morning…” and try to explain the fish in the tank in that restaurant, each fish with a different Python face on it, and explain the concept of existence and “oh look, it’s Harold, he’s being eaten”…. etc. etc… Some of them get it, some don’t, but it cracks me up every time… 🙂
Too funny! “Sorry kids, got to sell some of you off to science!”
You are welcome, Paul. As I stated earlier, when I saw the fat fuck in the picture with the thread, for some reason I just thought of Mr. Creosote. I too had not seen this in years. Love the Monty Python stuff.
I never did “get” Monty Python.
I’d watch some of a skit, stare, and then move onto something else.
I think you either have a Python gene or you don’t. Once in a while on his own, I did find Cleese somewhat amusing…
Willie – I have had similar thoughts about Belt (this in relation to your 7:49 post).
Eventually, I think Posey goes to 1st permanently. I am not sure if they are ready to pull the trigger on that for next year, or not. Susac is showing some damned fine poise at catcher, but he may still be a year away from managing the staff behind the dish.
So, when Posey does move to first (and again, I am going to operate on the assumption that this will happen), where does Belt go? To be honest, Morse has been streaky as hell (as most of our big boppers have been), and he is such a liability in LF. So, at this point, I am not sure that they should sign Morse next year (it really depends on the duration and dollars of any potential deal). If Belt is fully recovered and can play, and Posey goes to 1st for most days, I would say have Belt play LF most of the time. On those days when Posey needs a day, Belt can play 1st.
On a separate note, much talk of late about “the kids,” and rightfully so. I am going to stick with my prediction of about a month or so ago, and say that Panik is the starting 2nd baseman next year. I will also add that Susac will be the back-up catcher next year. Book it on both items. If it does not come to be, and you remember and call me on it, I will buy any of you a beverage of choice.
Man, you gotta try to get that fat.
Looks like two cans of Dos Equis and a nachos tray or some such next to him. The dude needs to get his act together, else he’s likely not going to live very long…
I heard this morning that Buster Olney reports the A’s, to get Dunn, actually outbid the Doghairs on how much salary they’d pay in taking on his contract from the ChiSox. Doghairs seem still a mess, but keeping afloat. Their weak schedule for the rest of the season doesn’t help. While they get the wimpy Snakes this weekend, the Gyros get a good Detroit team scrapping to stay in the playoff hunt…
Ever notice what an accurate arm Sandoval has over at third? Not sure if the stats back it up, but he makes some difficult throws look very routine to me. Gonna be a tough call on what he’s worth (not to start that debate again).
Somebody will offer him at least what Pence is getting. His fielding this year has been excellent, that adds to the contract price. He’s the best 3rd baseman FA out there, and one of the best FA position players overall. He’s got to be an AL team target, because even if he fattens up over the term of a 5-year deal, they’ll figure he can still hit as a DH, and avoid injury that way, too. IMO the emergence of Susac having real potential as a starting catcher alternative places Posey into the infield sooner than later, either at first (Belt to LF), or taking third if they don’t sign Panda, Belt staying at 1b. At this point, I’d sign Panda for just above Pence money, move Posey to 1b for the most part, and Belt into LF. Having those 3 bats in the lineup with Pence for a few years running would be very nice. If they lose Panda, they get a first round compensatory draft pick — big deal. That pick isn’t going to play third in 2015. They’d have to go get one, else Duffy or Duvall seem the only other choices for 3b, which is not too exciting. Giants have trouble now consistently scoring WITH Pablo. Without him the scoring prospects look nasty. Morse can go elsewhere — good guy, and his bat helps lengthen the LU, but his limits as a player are too much for me, and I think at his age he’s going to continue to get hurt…
Well, their movies were pretty hit-and-miss. Holy Grail and Life of Brian (esp for us Catholics) are pretty spot-on. The rest were varying shades of ehhhh.
I hate it when you realize there have been 15 posts between what you thought and when it posts . . .
I’d rather see Posey at 3rd. Belt is much better at 1st than LF.
Then again, having never see Posey at 3rd, it begs the question can he play there? Everyone seems to think it’s a given.
Agreed. But, if Panda’s gone, Posey can’t play LF, though he’d probably be better at it than Morse. The improved splits of Posey hitting as catcher vs. as 1bman are enormous, real and can’t be ignored. If Miguel Cabrera can play third base, Posey can. He’d be at least adequate, and his arm is certainly more than strong enough for that position. I’d guess Buster would consistently hit .315 or better and .900+ OPS if he played third or first instead of catcher…
Only because I’m here, I wonder what the cash-strapped Mets would want/take for David Wright’s bloated contract and a good young SP.
I’d rather pay Panda and keep the good young SP…
I mean one of their good young SP. Bum aside, we ain’t got any, do we?
Agreed, snarkk. Plus, In three of the last four years he has played in no more than 130 games (130, 112, and 102, and 156 in that fourth year).
Interesting scenario. I wonder about Susac’s relative trade value.
James – why would you even consider trading Susac? The dude looks like your future starting catcher. What are your thoughts?
M-P movies were often so so, but the weekly shows I really enjoyed. Saw “And Now for Something Completely Different” at Jose State before I really got into them, but after that I was hooked.
Sure, they’ve milked it for a long time, as *Spamalot* is currently on tour here, but if they ever re-ran the weekly ones I’d watch them in a heartbeat.
Good to see Blanco getting things together, I didn’t think he deserved abuse here. Avg is up, OB to .330s and OPS to .700-ish. Obviously, if Boch had a better guy to play he would have. Perez? Brown? $12 mil for Rios?
Brown seems like another in long line of classic AAAA (or worse) Giants OF. Getting caught stealing so often tells me he just doesn’t get how best to use his speed on bases; if this is happening in the Coast League, good luck trying it at mlb. Of course, he has to get on base first.
WilieD, he is 14/18 in SBs. 78%, which means, like with most base stealers, you’re pretty much breaking even.
Love the Pythons — shows, movies, albums (I hope some of you caught the MP reference in one of my posts yesterday). The Pythons reunited for a run of shows at London’s O2 Arena in late July, called both “Monty Python Live (Mostly)” and “One Down Five To Go.” A buddy of mine flew out there for one of the shows, said no new material, just the old stuff revised with topical references. There will, of course, be a DVD released, although I’m not quite sure I want to see senior citizen Pythons reprising their famous bits.
Yeah, I remembering finding Monty Python in 7th grade on PBS and was instantly hooked. Shit, 1975?
I was watching a 2013 Stones concert on TV the other day. Mixed feelings watching them try to do their thing at their advanced ages. They seem to prefer it when the crowd does the singing for them…
I agree with others. While I enjoyed most of the MP movies, the weekly show was the best. Any one remember Benny Hill?
I just read a new FanGraphs article on Joe Panik. Best article I have read to date on Panik and his approach to hitting. Dude will be around a long, long time. Best contact hitter we have and if he stole bases (not going to happen), he would be perfect for the one slot in our lineup, if we didn’t have Pagan. However, with “Crazy Horse” firing on all cylinders, it’s even better with Panik in the 2 spot. Just my take, but Panik is the smartest hitter, not named Buster Posey on our team.
http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/joe-panik-changes-by-not-really-changing-at-all/
Yep…I have been high on this kid (Panik) since he came up, Blade. I just love his discipline at the plate, and he is smart, too (uses all fields). The other thing I really like about him is he gets in the batters box and pretty much stays there. No stepping out to grab the jewells, scratch his ass, or adjust his batting gloves a kazillion times. The kid just looks like a ballplayer. He WILL BE our starter at 2nd next year.
It’s pretty much a given Panik will be the starter barring injury. Doesn’t take a neurosurgeon to see that. His job to lose now.
Thanks for the confirmation. I was pretty convinced before, but am locked and loaded now that you cleared the air.
lqtm . . . good one Chi.
Well, surely he’s the leading candidate for 2nd base. But, there’s no guarantee he’ll continue to hit over .300, or that he won’t backtrack if the league figures out a weakness at the plate. But, after a month of the job, doesn’t look like he’s got any strong competition on the 25 or in the minors. And, Scuts looks like he’s on permanent vacay in Miami…
If he is healthy, he’ll be the 2nd baseman next year.
Panik is a solid MLB batter, but I’m not thrilled with his fielding.
But he’s good enough fielding. His value is his bat. And his fielding will probably get better. Although his range won’t.
If Scutaro miraculously comes back healthy in 2015, he can be a good utility man. Isn’t that what he was most of his career, anyway?
He played SS or 2nd base usually. May have taken some reps at 3d on occasion, I think. I almost hope he doesn’t return, and spoil the 2012 memory with a guy who is a shadow of what he was, and then goes on the DL again. Onward and upward with Panik, Duffy and whoever else…
Monty Python was comic genius. And so hugely influential. Along with Peter Sellars, Sid Cesar, and a few others, they invented the modern comic sensibility.
The key to comedy has always been that the people IN the comedy don’t KNOW they are in a comedy. It’s serious business to them. Lucy and Ethel are frantically trying to wrap all those chocolates on the conveyor belt. And the supreme seriousness of the Python characters is a joy to behold. They give dramatic performances, then drive the drama to its breaking point into comedy. Deadly serious newscasters talking about exploding penguins, or a salesman desperately trying to sell a dead parrot, a game show where contestants frantically try to summarize Proust in a few seconds, and so forth.
And they never cared if the audience “got it” or not. They made themselves laugh, and they just trusted it might work for an audience. Some of the dialog is so dense and full obscure historical and cultural references, that repeated viewing could go on forever it seems like, trying to get it all.
In that vein, Being There is one of my all-time favorite movies. It predated the Ronald Reagan era by one year . . . and Bush II by 21 . . .
WOW, unca, almost everything you have posted today has had a connection with me. Being There is on of MY all time favs. Peter Sellers at his best.
Speaking of comedy I didn’t enjoy, Joan Rivers died today.
Yeah, I was never a fan, Charlie. Blessings to her family, friends, and fans. RIP.
She was funny, but that was in the 60s and 70s.
The female Don Rickles…
Yeah that’s one thing Hollywood types can’t buy off…..the Grim Reaper. He visits frequently there and at least he gave Joan 81 years.
Deep thoughts, with Jack Handey . . .
I want to be buried in my Marichal jersey. Gotta make sure that happens.
That tub probably hasn’t seen his pecker without a mirror since the 3rd grade.
And you see it every day. What luck.
I thought the pic was the guy who’s filtered here trying to get off the filter….
The month that was…a good read…

Not a word about the Mac-A-Looza.
Glaring omission…
wswins, great recap . . . Love this quote – “I have a better chance than Marco.” – Bochy, when asked if the Belt baby (Greyson Ellis Belt) would be named Bruce.”
Good piece on Peavy, too at sfgiants.com
