Jason Bay Caption Fun

Email
PrintThe SBN content management platform has integrated AP images, which a) is totally sweet, and b) occasionally turns up a real 'WTF' picture, like this one. And the one above of Jason Bay following his press junket on Tuesday. Exactly what he's looking at is anybody's guess, but it's nothing a good caption can't solve. I'd like to say we'll give something away to the architect of the best caption, but last time the offerings were so bad we were pretty close to calling the whole thing off. So this is a make-good opportunity to bring back the swag giveaways. I'll get the ball rolling.
- Jason Bay practices watching flyballs to left field land nowhere near his glove.
- "With glowing hearts we see thee rise, The True North strong and free!"
- "So I was standing front row at a Rush concert back in '95, eh, and dontcha know I look up and there's Geddy !@#$ing Lee staring back at me. Those hosers in the nosebleeds didn't know what they were missing!"
P.S. These took me like five seconds so take ten and come up with something better.
P.P.S. Love ya, Canada. You too, Geddy.

Chicken wings and Molson 30. You know Canadian Beer is like moonshine.
Lets hope that when gut check time comes again the Mets will pass it with flying colors.
In reference to the Bay/Gilbert photo
The latest Mets addition had no idea why culinary icon and infomercial king Wolfgang Puck was handing him a hockey sweater or whose idea it was to remind a British Columbia native of the ’94 Rangers, but it free swag is free swag.

On Bay looking up...
Jason’s heart warmed as he got saw for himself that claims of Keith “using” again were untrue. But what’s that dangling from Gary’s left nostril?
$66 million over four years, with a vesting fifth...Ahhh, suckers...

This is not an entry, but
if Jason Bay is going to watch flyballs to left field land nowhere near his glove with that dumb grin on his face, I’ll be willing to forgive him just for the sake of the hilarity
Caption...
New Met LF’er Jason Bay checks out Citi Field and looks up to the press box, where he notices Adam Rubin fighting Omar Minaya and a shirtless Tony Bernazard. Bay immediately runs to Jeff Wilpon and requests a trade to any team in any other league.
Er...
Jason’s Mom (off camera): Now son, you have your brown bag and your sneakers don’t you? It’s your first day and you have to make a good impression.
Jason Bay:
Why the fuck is Wade Redden at the Mets game? Ha...that guy sucks.

wait
you mean curling requires good knees?
To me it always looked like a game that a bunch of drunk Canadians came up with one night when all they had was a broom and a frisbee and were too plastered to do anything super physical. Not that it isn’t my favorite winter olympic sport, b/c it definitely is
2009 Did Not Happen
It was actually a bunch of drunk Scots that came up with it.
The knees (or one knee, anyway) comes into play with the sliding to deliver the rock. I’ve got tendinitis or something in my left knee that made it basically impossible to keep doing that, at least without the assistance of PEDs (read: Aleve).

Answering his critics' claim that he's not a great fielder, Jason Bay displays his new-found ability to hover 100-feet over the field of play, insuring no ball will ever get past him. "I got your UZR right here, bitches" he added happily.

Upon staring at his new home ballpark Jason Bay wonders aloud " Odd I figured it would be warmer here. I always imagined that the ballpark would be pocked with bullet holes, but everything looks so new and so clean. No rubble, no broken glass."
Right back atcha Mufasa.
Lets hope that when gut check time comes again the Mets will pass it with flying colors.

After growing to over 100 ft tall, Jason Bay thought nothing could go wrong.
Then he looked into the sky and saw Voltron staring back at him.

Jason Bay meets boyhood idol Eric Hillman.
(apparently he was actually pretty good in Japan, btw)
For that matter, so was Terry Bross

Bay was unaware that wearing a Mets jersey over a button down shirt and tie is NOT considered proper business attire, even though it was the fanciest he had ever dressed.

"We praise or blame as one or the other affords more opportunity for exhibiting our power of judgment." Friedrich Nietzsche, "Human,All Too Human" (1878)
Bay's thoughts...(with props to Mackey Sasser, after reading yours I couldn't think of a better way to end it, hope you don't mind)
Oh God, what have I done?….It’s OK Jason, this is all just a bad dream….Look at the size of that outfield, I can’t cover all of that, why did they convince me to say I was a good outfielder, such a lie…No, you’re going to wake up soon, it will still be April, you can still sign the same exact deal with the Red Sox….Oh God, what the hell is that Mo-zone crap, good thing I am a pull hitter and play LF…Ok, come on, just smile and pinch yourself until you wake up, this will all be over soon…
Bay: It will be over soon baby!
Bay’s thoughts: Well, at least they got good interns here….
Center field was smaller in Pittsburgh
No way will my vesting option (playing center after Voltron retires) will vest.

Here are Pujols's stats: 1.000/1.000/4.000/5.000. That's right. He is batting a thousand, with a thousand OBP (naturally), and every hit has been a home run, and thus his OPS is a perfect 5.000.

Jason, I’m happy for you, and ima let you finish, but Francisco Rodriguez had one of the best vesting options of all times.
"We're investigating the investigative procedure of the investigation of Tony Bernazard"---Omar Minaya (he really didn't say it but he would"
Jason Bay pauses in disbelief when told that fans pay more than sixty dollars to sit in seats with an obstructed view; Bay nervously snickers when told that these seats comprise like 75% of the stadium, and $60 is a cheap seat. How in the world do you build a new stadium where fans lose track of the ball about fifty feet before the warning track, he wonders, suddenly feeling better upon remembering that he can’t field and this will provide an extra minute to gird himself before the boos rain down.
