what's really interesting and cool

is the way he grips the bat. If you watch him, you can see he slides his right hand midway up the bat’s barrel.
Then he adjusts when the pitch is on the way, like most batters do. But still, one of the stranger starting positions I’ve ever seen.

I love how Papelbon is such a "gamer"!

Cuz, you know … Pedroia wouldn’t have known the play was at first if Paps hadn’t pointed there … what a friggin idiot.

I needed a team so I wouldn’t turn into one of the eighty million pink hat-wearing Bud Light-drinking mulleted idiots at Fenway.

I doubt it ...

one of those things people like to say when they want you to think someone is really tough … even though he’s phony as hell. See: Giants

Undersized white guy who sucks at baseball, but appears to try real hard

Gamer fits me to a 'T'

I was going to post a diary earlier this year about my gamer-ness called “Confessions of a Grinder”, but never could get it right, so I dumped it.

Children, until we have taught them better, will be perfectly happy with a seasonal round of games in which conkers succeeds hopscotch.

No offense taken.

I’m hard to offend, unless you insist on using small sample sizes to prove a baseball point.

someone who works in a morgue once commented that

the workers refer to cadavers who have been there a while as “gamers”

after I heard that I couldn’t help thinking of it when hearing the Giants’ “What’s a Gamer?” commercial.

Kots was jobbed - but I'm not complaining

That’s payback for him getting Macha fired.
