“Shane Victorino” “blogged” this morning on his “official MLB blog” about being thrown out at home by B.J. Upton last night on a fly ball:
Oh, and on my trying to score on that shallow fly ball. That was a miscommunication between Steve Smith and myself. I heard, ‘go.’ He said, ‘No.’ B.J. Upton made a great play and has got a great arm. I don’t know why I tried to test him there.
Now that’s an excuse too good to be fake. But, ah, nobody tell Victorino to break a leg before tonight’s game, okay?
Somehow I missed this incredbile video The Fightins posted of Shane Victorino answering questions after Game 3. The tally, calculated by the blog, includes six uses of “Like I said”, 18 of “Ya know” and 3 of “Kick start.”
And, of course, answering the opening question with the words, “No questions asked.”
Hey, the second-place Fightins are only a game behind the Marlins; after losing two straight, Charlie Manuel has demoted Shane Victorino to the bench and installed Jayson Werth as the permanent center fielder.
Eh, it’ll do. Victorino gives you some speed off the bench, but, well, it’s not like the outfield is all that much better, especially with Geoff Jenkins in right. Not that hitting is really the problem this season, as usual…
Vic raced for first after a dropped third strike and crashed headfirst into Conor Jackson, leaving both of them down for a couple minutes. More importantly, it got Victorino to first; he’d score on an Eric Bruntlett double. Utley eventually singled home Bruntlett in the top of the eighth to give the Phillies a 5-4 lead. Video of Vic’s crash after the jump.
During today’s 5-2 win over the Mets, Jimmy Rollins injured his ankle diving back into second base.
That injury wasn’t all that funny, so after the jump, please enjoy a clip of Shane Victorino making a nice catch in center field and then getting pummeled by Jayson Werth after he makes the catch. And he holds on!
New Phillies outfielder Geoff Jenkins kind of looks like Brett Favre, and the former Milwaukee Brewer was kind of upset at the Green Bay Packers’ quarterback’s decision to retire today. (Go find your own Brett Favre news; I am in a complete Favre blackout for the next few weeks.)
This week, SI interviews Phillies right fielder Shane Victorino, who has not yet learned of the brilliance of the Jockey mid-rise brief, the greatest clothing item ever conceived.
Okay, time to make a call to Phillies PR to try to find out what kind of Trojans Shane-o prefers. And, hey, he’s setting a hell of a good example for the kids by practicing safe sex. No illegitimate kids for Victorino!
Update: Or one, maybe? Though if it’s with a girlfriend, is that really illegitimate (anymore)? Anyway, I think my point might still stand, since an athlete with one illegitimate kid is like a regular person with zero.
