It is evident from that picture

that this young man means business ©.

But, seriously, does he ever smile? He’s like a grumpier version of Kevin McReynolds.

'Oh yes, I know all about that duty-of-a-citizen stuff. It doesn't go. There are exceptions to every rule, and this was one of them. When a man risks his liberty to come and root at a ball-game, you've got to hand it to him. He isn't a crook. He's a fan.'

After he hit that homerun and made it back to the dugout, he was grinning ear to ear.

So I’d say a lot of it is him trying to live up to the media hype machine.

Ah, my bad

I didn’t get to see the homer so, there ya go. I’d hope the kid would be happy after a game like he had today. Sure, 1-5 but the 2 RBI and five good at-bats is a nice start.

smiles never got a hit

and did you see from Cerrone’s recap:

I don’t know where I heard it, but Daniel Murphy mean business.

If any one person has ever jinxed a player entirely by himself, here it is.

I believe that another blogger

wrote the summary, not Cerrone but might as well been.

Nice job James. I was going to post a similar msPaint creation but you beat me to it, hat tip.

If nothing else

Hammer can maybe use that line if he ever goes into business selling cars or something. Cerrone might want royalties, tho.

I'd argue

Derek Jeter’s winning smile has what, 4500, 5000 hits (all of which he inside-outed)?

Never realized (or maybe forgotten) til now.

Perfect execution on this, James.

I hope to see more.

Has anyone created a shirt / jersey for Murph' yet?

I’m ready to reach into my TARP funds and pay for one.

Hilarious.

You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the goddamn plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all.
