OT - I'm bored, Part Tanev

[Slimpikins]

but how can a grown man have not thrown a ball before?
and if he hasn't, why would he think infront of a ball park full of people is the right time to try it out?

the physics of throwing a ball that badly just confuses me.
maybe he had played catch like every one else on the continent, but figured this time he'd try to 'pitch' instead. That's the only thing I can think of. It's honestly bugging me. I think I may have to hunt down Gary Sinese to find out.

Cough*Heatley*cough

I saw an episode of Tanked where the guy couldn't throw a baseball to save his life.

Are you saying when the heat was on he...tanked?

He was in a real foul mood.

To be (pauses....looks around) fair, he was actually trying to throw it with some velocity. The release point on throwing a baseball is key. It's not like shooting a basketball. Even if you shoot a terrible shot with a basketball, it's still going to go in some shot-like arch, not just go directly down to the ground. Same thing for a hockey shot. You have to swing the stick to hit the puck precisely at the right point or (if wrisiting it) get just the right action for the release point to be okay. I've seen some TERRIBLE shots in hockey contests at games.

Sinise looks like he knows HOW to throw a ball (when people don't look like they've ever thrown a ball before, that does baffle me, Puck), but he botched the release point. Easy enough, especially if you're nervous.

Also, Slim... that's an awesome ad.

Afterwards, did he slump his shoulders?

That's it, i'm outta here!

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

That's it, i'm outta here!

Jim Joyce says you're safe.

[Winged_Wheel88]

Jim Joyce says you're safe.

And Jeff would say Jim Joyce says your safe.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

I'm still trying to figure out how the pic of Jeff that least looks like Jeff became Jeff's smiley face.

Gettin ready to go to bed, so it seems like a perfect time for eloco jr. (rit) to host a Feud game now.

Fucker.

 

[higgyfan4]

I'm already pissed off since Lexi Grey is DEAD! Noooooo, not Lexi. Now her and McSteamy will never get back together!

yeah, that's why I think he was trying to pitch instead of just throw the ball to the guy.
very different dynamics, and he maybe got caught in the middle.

seeing the Sinise thing just reminded me of how many truly awful throws we have seen
this one comes to mind.

 

[ritari330]

No feud tonight.

Also, if I am Eloco jr. when do i start losing my hair?

I think it might be time for a new sig line, WW.

McSteamy is actually my last name.

Looks like I have reason to rejoyce then?

God damn it, I hadn't watched most of this season. Thanks, Higgy! Try using the white type in the future.
