It wasn't too long ago that Dan Johnson's slow start to the season had some talking about his revisiting AAA Sacramento.

When DJ is done with playing baseball

He could totally become a radio personality...

hrm

not sure the arrogant role fits Dj very well in this one the comic is funnier when the roles highlight real personality traits

But that is why it is funny!!

Cause we know he is SOOOO not like that! A little cockiness can go a long way though. I mean look at him after that first home run. He just had this air about him, like, "I got this guy! I rule!" It was great to see a bit of confidence from him today!

DJ & ANtics

Luv the EGO pane, cuz you did NOT include BONDS, in DJ's thoughts!

So you noticed that...

So many good hitters, so few spaces for words. Bonds did NOT make the cut.

ouch

I know it's a departure from the theme of this thread, but this hurts just reading about it:

Roethlisberger lost most of his teeth, fractured his left sinus cavity bone, suffered a nine-inch laceration to the back of his head and a broken jaw, and injured both of his knees when he hit the ground, police said.

Roethlisberger, 24, who was not wearing a helmet, collided with a Chrysler New Yorker at 11:15 a.m. and was thrown off his motorcycle, flying head-first into the car's windshield "with a pretty good force," said a veteran city police officer.
