July 1st, 2009: A Texas Rangers Memory

Hank Blalock, for the first time in a long time, you deserve getting smashed tonight, buddy.

In honor of a great night, a great game, and a great community, I've made the following movie for us all to cherish forever. All your favorites are here and even some new images that have become instant classics. If not but for this night, Rangers fans, let us forget the slumps, let us forgive the bunts, and let us fist pump into the night, LSB...

I give you:

Ballgame!

You sir, are a god.

Too bad I’m betting MLB will get that taken down by morning because of the clip you’ve got tacked on to the front of the vid.

Get on base or die, Salty.

Let 'em...

I’ll come back stronger and more resolved.

I made this video months ago and they didn’t do anything to it. That said, I’m sure they heard Tarzan Boy and was like, “Pass.”

Heh, that's pretty good too.

There are few things more hilarious than watching Prince Fielder run.

Get on base or die, Salty.

That thing could be 20 minutes long

and I’d still watch every minute of it

By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.

awesome

I happened to have “Do It Again” by Steely Dan playing when I clicked the Fielder video. For some reason, that song fits the clip perfectly.

The “Ballgame” video is great too, especially “Adam Morris! Srs Bizniss” getting thrown in there.

Nice Job

I still resent rally Renner

That's why they call them business sox

Why does it have to be the horrible things that work?

Napoli's reaction when Hank tags that ball is great.

It should be blown up into a moving gif and Angels FAIL should be splanged across it flashing off and on.

Yes!

The deflated body language is awesome.

the part that made me laugh

was the AJM photo, “It’s serious business”

There's more to the picture than meets the eye.

by tricer on Jul 2, 2009 8:30 AM CDT reply actions  

Watched it 3 times

And I’ll keep watching it. My only complaint? Needs to be longer.

Remember Red, hope is a good thing. Maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies.

Question

Was the Rally Turtle one of the first GDT memes? Seems like it to me. Of course since then things have become more advanced.

The DP dino seems like the oldest, most enduring GDT meme

I wouldn’t mind seeing the return of the turtles myself, but they kinda ran out of mojo midway through last season. It seems only the most off-the-wall, weird rally images work these days.

Get on base or die, Salty.

Where the hell was the Hunter Pence gf?

She was a part of a very timely dp this year v the Stros not to mention, is very nice on the eyes.

The DP Dino only exists because of the Rally Turtle

The Medusa shot up close was a little disconcerting/alarming but still very very cool.

Medusa has a nose ring?

How did I not know this? I guess I had only seen .gifs from the other side.

by Melmart1 on Jul 2, 2009 3:45 PM CDT reply actions  

This

Needs to be longer.

Possible inclusions for future incarnations:

1 – A Josh Lewin BALLGAME scream (josh’s walk-off last year about this time comes to mind)

2 – The Erick Aybar running from bee’s .gif

3 – The gratuitous Anna Benson shot

4 – The Knox pie-in-the-face sequence

5 – Mrs. Lima’s dress!

What's the rumpus?

Woohoo, I made it into the video

Ron Washington...giving hope everywhere to the kids who eat lead paint chips of being a big league manager when they grow up since 2007.
