the ascensiOn finds the rails again

it kind of feels like early july -- you know, when things kind of hit the flat highway and teams' true natures become a reliable fact -- but trust wayward o many things are happening in world of baseball.

for example, many players in recent games have leapt in the air in attempts to catch fly balls, with varying degrees of art and success. here are three examples:

LEAP No. 1

Joey Gathright goes wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy up,
saves home run but Young Savior still gets ribby triple.
LEAP No. 2

Balt. Sun Photo
This photo is a tad misleading.
Aubrey is actually flying downward from upper deck and lighting upon the infield with grace of sparrow.

LEAP No. 3

In this triple-action still, a feral Brionius Robertsinous is seen in wild leaping twenty feet in air to snare prey.
in addition to these leaps, which you may critique in designated comments area below, the ascensiOn of BIG BIRD came back with fury last night after a june hiatus. who would begrudge a man a few weeks off in june? daniel's complete game gem was rewarded by VERY EMO MANANGER with BEAR HUG and that's what makes baseball world go around not BIG FREE AGENT CONTRACTS.


Another awesome photo from awesome Balt. Sun!
this is not to be confused with this photo, which wayward o cannot study enough ....


The beady eyes, the slack jaw...
a portrait of the greek ideal of dumbness. not just a dumb act. not just a dim wit. not just a failure to learn. but an all-encompassing, all-consuming gravitational forcefield of dumb from which no man can look away. avert your eyes, children!
