Weekend links with Jon Marthaler
Posted on April 19th, 2008 – 11:30 AMBy Michael Rand
Welcome once again to the weekend links, where - this week only — all YouTube links are half price.
*Let’s get this out of the way early: This calls for the old Billy Baroo!
*Isiah Thomas: Yeah, that guy got fired. Stephen A. Smith, do you have anything to add?
*I’m not sure what the funniest part of this video is, but here are three candidates: 1. The fact that Chicago Sun-Times beat writer Joe Cowley actually seems to believe that he can steal a base off of AJ Pierzynski. 2. Watching Cowley take it so seriously that he’s arguing calls. 3) Pierzynski taunting Cowley at the end of the video. (WARNING: Given that this video includes AJ Pierzynski, you should know this: the video includes some foul language.)
*Today’s slightly-useful link: a scouting report — complete with video — on Twins prospect Deolis Guerra, one of the players the organization received in exchange for Johan Santana.
That’s four links involving video … which is enough for one Saturday. Enjoy the weekend, and if you’re RandBall, get out there and start running — and filming it. By marathon day, we need a full-blown 1980s-style training montage, preferably set to this song.
