Momentito, por favor!
I was all set to write a rant tonight on various serious things like the $700 billion dollars we are all about to owe, the WaMu bank failure (it is official!), Sarah Palin, and other things that will soon have a very serious effect on the country – but then I watched the Dodgers lose a game against the Padres, and still not care because they just clenched the Division Title, whee! :)
They acted like idiots and poured champagne all over each other – even took it to the field and dunked some of the fans in it:
After they ran out of booze, it looks like they raided the water coolers and began pouring those over people. Manny Ramirez started throwing bubblegum out to the crowd, and Derek Lowe was pelted with sunflower seeds as he tried to give an interview.
The coup de grace had to be the rookies, though, who were forced to commemorate their first big year in the big leagues with outfits befitting their achievements:
There’s Clayton Kershaw, the 20-year old kid starting pitcher, and youngest guy in the majors, dressed up as Bo-Peep.
Here’s Corey Wade, a relief pitcher, dressed up as some kind of purple-haired genie.
Hiroki Kuroda, another starting pitcher, who, despite being a rookie in the MLB, was a veteran in the Japanese baseball league, so he was only forced to dress up as a pimp, rather than a nubile young lass.
And best of all, the lovely young Blake DeWitt. Someone walked by and tweaked his boob, and he giggled. The little tramp! ;)
Silliness, after all, must be celebrated.
