Rolen on the River

My NL team is the Reds, mostly due to the fact that scouts went to go watch Joey Votto hit at the ball diamonds at Christie Pitts, which is just so Toronto. That, my enduring baseball thing for Scott Rolen. I mean, he hit a homer against my team and he stuck his head down and power jogged around the bases, and I was all tingly.

And to all of you who want to say how splenetic Rolen is, I know. It's sort of why I like him.

That being said, I was still pleased the Jays won. José Bautista made a rare miscue in the outfield, when he didn't listen to Corey Patterson call him off on a fly ball to centre. The misplay led to an inside the park home run. The ball is clearly the centre fielder's, but I suspect that Bautista didn't trust Patterson to make that play and took it upon himself. The official reason for Patterson playing in centre is to give Davis some time off, but I also think Patterson's bat is what they want. Patterson in centre field is not a great idea. But Patterson stole 2nd in the next half inning and Bautista scorched a double to centre to score him, which erased the foolishness.

I was amused when I saw Davis on the bench with his glove on after the inside the park homer, though. JoJo Reyes got the win, and not a Blue Jays pitcher gave up a walk. Like, shut your face, no BBs.

Maybe the best thing about having Adam Lind being so hot with the bat, besides the whole hits and RBIs, is trying to get him to talk eloquently about it. Tonight, he just stands there and says, "I really have no idea."

On which ballplayer sent Kelly Kapowski naked pictures of himself, I totally put my money on Alex "Show Pony" Rodriguez. I mean, I could see ARod sending full frontal nude shots to himself, so of course he would do it to some chick he probably found super hot on Saturday morning TV when he was a teenager. And then was reminded of Kelly Kapowski when she showed up on 90210, and played a very slutty pot smoker.

But then I hear she said the mystery man didn't date Madonna. Well, that should cancel out ARod-but maybe, realizing the can of worms she just opened, Tiffani Theissan just said that to throw people off or doesn't consider post divorce cougar mating for publicity seeking attention whores to be dating.

One last thing, big ups and salutations to Ian over that The Blue Jay Hunter for sending me this:
