Weirdness

These guys are, in order, Tim Byrdak, Ryan Rowland-Smith, and Nate Robertson. They are all lefthanded pitchers on different teams.

This reminds me of the scene in Midnight Run, when Special Agent Mosely has Jack Walsh in the car with him and some other feds, and at the end of lecturing him asks Walsh if he has any questions. Walsh says, "Yeah...these sunglasses. They're really nice. Are they government issue, or do you guys all shop at the same place?"

I'm wondering if these are MLB-issue frames these guys are wearing, or if they just all go shopping at the same place together.

OT - interesting MLB season

Rays kick ass from beginning to end, Yankees miss the playoff for the first time in 13 years, Detroit and the Mariners go from a trendy picks to win their divisions to one finishing last in its division and the other becoming worst team in all of baseball. And now we have three teams within one game of each other competing for two playoff spots, the Twins and ChiSox being within a half game of each other.

I know everyone knows all this, but still, pretty good season for baseball as a whole I would think.

Nothing pithy here. Please move long.

Agreed.

It’s been a lot of fun to watch. I just wish the Rangers contended a little longer.

Let's not forget the great Kyle Farnsworth.

Maybe somebody should tell these guys that the glasses DON’T work.

What About

…all the identical douche glasses that K-Rod, Scott Shields annnnnd someone else (can’t remember who, but another LAA pitcher) all used to wear together? Man, I get really irritated by the Angels.

They all got them in boxes of Dream of Wheat

After listening to a retro broadcast of Jack Armstrong, All American Boy on XM. Each pair has a code stamping on the inner frame, which if you hold over the cereal box it gives an inspirational message subliminally posted in the Dream of Wheat logo. Stuff like “Remember, the Texas Rangers can’t hit left handers”.
