See, it could be a vibrator

An industrial powered one, yes, but it's definitely there.

1 more out! A's win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I get it!

It was a "neuralyzer", from Men in Black. :) The little flashy things that erase your memory. Not a vibrator.

I'm crazy, I get that.

But I am not the type of person who goes around posting photos of vibrators. :)

Well, that's what it looked like

Maybe it's me. 2 more outs!

I'm glad that ugly dude with the big nose

and black tshirt is no longer in the field of view of the camera which zooms in on the hitter. He was starting to piss me off.

Second time I've seen Kotsay mess the camera

Around when he makes an out. The behavior is rare for major league ball players.

kotsay

what did he do?

by SwishersCigar33 on Jun 6, 2006 6:43 PM PDT up reply actions

He apes and directly views the lens

Gave a finger gesture this time, not an obscene one.

All players know the lens is on them, but Kotsay is the only one I've seen to directly mess with it when he's frustrated.

Hey Swish...

Kevin Mench called. He wants his helmet back (repainted).

His pitches

Look like the natural symmetry of nature encapsulated in the flesh of a young man, who coiled with life's energy, pulses to release his ball into the void. A masterpiece to behold, demanding pure lust from admirers.
