uhhh. yeah. this is a really strange one. even for us phillies fans. and we’re pretty sure we’re the first with video on this.
we were watching the phils play the d-backs on friday night when we thought we saw jimmy rollins salute a shane victorino triple with a full bottle of beefeaters gin…right there on the dugout steps.
if only it were that benign.
it turns out that rollins was hoisting a bottle of j&j BABY OIL in salute of victorino’s game-tying triple!!! wtf? according to our favorite phillies site, thefightins:
“After Shane Victorino tripled in the tying runs yesterday off D-Back reliever Tony Peña, Comcast cameras cut to a shot of Jimmy Rollins saluting the lightning-fast Hawaiian with what seems to be a bottle of Johnson’s® Baby Oil. Sarge Matthews quickly stormed the broadcast booth and alerted Chris Wheeler that hitting coach Milt Thompson put it on the bench prior to the game to “loosen the team up.”
alrighty then.
let’s hope j-rol yelled “no-homo” before he hoisted the lubricant.
like baseball? got mad photoshop skillz? just plain mad? get your ass over to epiccarnival where they are holding a baseball photoshop contest, with the winner taking home their choice of $1,667.50 Thai Bhats, 58,175 Tanzanian Shillings, 5,410 Japanese Yen, 167 Israeli Shekels, 3,428 Bangladeshi Takas or 24,972 Chilean Pesos.
speaking of epiccarnival, we think the editors there need to be concerned about one of their writers, whose mandulation (man-on-man adulation) may have crossed the line from this team to that team. that said, tiger kicks ass.
becky hammond, who is one of the few hittable female basketball players, won’t play for the USA. maybe it’s because THIS is better in russia? {tiricosuave}
this gratuitous photo with no backstory of lindsay lohan having her tit felt on a movie set is brought to you, in a circuitous way, by worldofisaac.
