Showing posts with the label Eyes Closed

Hero in a Halfshell and Links

Okay, it seems that people in Philadelphia do it too. I'll just go with the assertion that this guy is NOT a Phillies phan, as I don't see any identifiable garment tying him to the HOME TEAM. The moral of these "Eyes Closed" posts is that fans in attendance at baseball games do no catch homerun balls with their eyes closed. That even applies to the above Ninja Turtle Michaelangelo look-alike, when he attends Phillies games. Turtle Power, my man! ----------------- It seems as though The Shore Sports Report fantasy football league, that drafts tonight, has a few spots left open.

Eyes Closed Again

Congratulations, Wild-haired Asian Kid. While all of your Brewers fan cohorts attempt to lunge and catch a homerun ball with their eyes closed, you prevail as the toughest fan in your section. The guy with cap in hand, right in front of you, surely will not be successful in his blind attempt to catch a ball. The orange haired pot head right next to him certainly resembles someone doing the wave in his sleep and not a fan trying to grab a souvenir. The goateed tongue ejector, toward the right of the picture, definitely is in the best position to make the grab, but failure awaits him. Open your eyes, not your mouth, Gene Simmons. Additional props go out to the folks behind all the reaching fans, as they excitedly await the broken hand bones of some seat neighbor with his/her eyes closed. -------------------------------------------------- Once again, Cardinals fans, you are not skilled at catching homerun balls. PhoulBallz has dealt you a blog bashing before , and you've still not le...

Letter to White Sox Fans

Dear hopeful homerun handlers, As we've discussed here on PhoulBallz.com before , closing your eyes when trying to catch homerun balls in flight is not the best way to have success. Two Chicago White Sox fans got in the way of some long balls during Wednesday night's game. Guy in the above picture,who appears to be Vito from the Sopranos...based on your televised experiences with Johnny Cakes, I truly thought you'd be more comfortable and better composed when balls are flying toward your head. I feel sorry for you, center guy in white shirt. I am sure that once you fully displayed your scaredy-cat-like homerun volleying, that plus-sized Stone Cold Steve Austin, behind you, laid you out with a Stone Cold Stunner for shaming his section. Best of luck in your futures, blind ballin' Chicagoans. Tell Jim Thome we send a holler. Love, PhoulBallz.com PS- Stay awesome.

A Letter to This Guy

Dear Cardinals fan, When a homerun ball is hit in your direction, do not close your eyes and raise both hands far above your head, leaving your face/chest/neck/head defenseless. Jayson Werth long balls to the cranium are probably not very comfortable. Next time, let the guy in the pajama pants behind you take a crack at it. He may not know how to dress well, but he keeps his eyes open in the face of killer shots from World Champion outfielders. Love, PhoulBallz.com PS- Stay hot.
