First baseman Chris Davis dove in vain into the seats at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, Texas, for a foul ball on May 3.
"All the photo pits at field level were cramped with photographers and TV crews. I chose an area near the press box and was rewarded with this image. What I like most is the intensity in Davis's eyes, focused on the ball coming down." -- Photographer Jim Cowsert/ICON SMI

You think everyone looks good with their shit pulled up?...

Spose we’re just gritty like that.

Remember super-prospect Jose Cruz Jr? He was the first big-leaguer I remember who wore his that way.
Rice's own aka Jose, Jr.?

Only certain players can rock that, IMO
Can you imagine Michael Young in high socks? Nelson Cruz? Uh-uh.

After further review..
You are right in a sense in that only certain players cannot rock it….I think the majority can.
Michael Young can.
Nellie cannot….I think big, tall, hulking figures are just at a disadvantage for the look.

Mark Prior rocked it pretty well

Pitchers are different for some reason.
like Jose Canseco or Mark McGwire would look just silly. For some reason Broxton doesn’t look bad when he pulls them up….very queer situation we’ve got here.

You realize the word queer...
means odd or unusual, right? And that queer also isn’t a race, yes?

I know
I’m kidding. It was a shot at the LSB ethics patrol.

Are there any prerequisites for taking...
the LSB ethics test?

Just make sure
You don’t watch or stream anything online, don’t let slip with any WWII-era slang, or note the ethnicity of convenience clerks.

because all players should wear their socks like that imho.

And the little bastard threw it for a swinging strike three in a 3-2 count. He’s blessed. And ballsy.
Excellent picture
those fans need to learn how to let the home team player get to the foul ball

They're learning, they still do the wave every freaking inning...baby steps.

Haha!
Last week on the Musers, Aikman was bashing the Cowbah fans for doing the wave…when the team was driving for a score.
Lame.

If theres one thing i refuse to do its the wave
And I always get dirty looks from people around me when i dont stand and act like a fool when the wave comes to the section
"I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it." - Mitch Hedberg
It's not a metroplex thing
I was watching the CBS SEC game a few weeks back and the supposedly “hardcore” SEC fans were doing the wave in the 4th quarter of a close game.
People everywhere are just idiots.
