This One's Worth About 50 Words, Anyway

I couldn't shoehorn this into last night's recap, but here is a picture of Melky Cabrera after Jay Marshall hit him with a 71MPH changeup in the top of the sixth inning. Melky tried to turn and scamper out of the way but at the same time, Kurt Suzuki came behind him and tried to field the pitch. Awkward and mildly homoerotic poses ensued.

  2. I fell asleep in the third; damn west coast games.

    When I saw the picture this morning, I thought Melky was following up on CC's purpose pitch and trying to further exert the Yankees dominance over Kurt Suzuki.

  3. Ha. Reminds me of the Vince Vaughn line in "The Break Up".."One day his wife's gonna come home to find him with his Tiajuana lover clubbing each other to Yanni's greatest hits."

  4. The fact that he's holding his bat like a riding crop makes it seem like there's some sort of impromptu gay rodeo going on.

  5. I was about to make some rodeo comment, but +1 to Steve for beating me to it.

  7. Melky's intial attempt at getting out of the way (or bracing himself to be hit) of the pitch was a little embarrassing.
