How on earth did (or didn't) that happen? I guess I photographed a lot of Molina games in the early going.
Well, now that I've seen the error of my ways, I promise that you'll get a second shot of Zaunie in the coming days. Meanwhile, here's Gregg Zaun getting ready for game time:
Sorry, it's about seven hours late. I fell asleep.
Here's Troy Glaus, throwin' the ball back over to first base:
Yeah, I know it's not his start today. So what? I like this picture of Gustavo Chacin, and I'm sharing it with you today.
Don't look the Photo of the Day horse in the mouth.
It's an off-day. No one can get injured on an off-day, right? Right?
Here's Frank Catalanotto, focusing on the pitcher:
Seriously, who else could it be?
Today's photograph celebrates Vernon Wells, whose bat should have those wicked flames painted up it -- you know, the kind they put on cars to make them go faster. A friend of mine bought a PT Cruiser a few years back. He got a black one and had a custom paint job done with those flames. When I saw it I laughed so hard that I had to sit down. He was more than a little offended (I believe his exact words were "Dude, you're laughing at my car"), but I managed to convince him that my laughter was in appreciation of the sheer awesomeness of his new vehicle.
I hope he doesn't read Batter's Box.
updated with a silly flame decal version -- see the comments.
Actually, the bottom of the eighth went pretty much like clockwork, didn't it? But the budget only allows for one Photo of the Day, so today we'll showcase the man who drove in the winning run, Mr. Shea Hillenbrand:
Who doesn't need Roy Halladay adorning their desktop? I know I could use him on mine.
Plus you get to see what Photo of the Day looks like when lit by the sun, for a change -- too bad they closed the roof shortly after the game began. (And in other news, those irritating little specks that I was retouching out of the pictures of Troy Glaus were apparently bugs! The things you miss when you're at the other end of a long lens in the camera bay...)
update: I just heard that Edgardo Alfonzo will make his Jays debut tonight -- scroll down to see a bonus Photo of the Day of Edgardo as an Angel a few weeks ago.
John McDonald, the Minister of Defense, takes a run towards a ground ball in today's photograph:
From Tuesday night against the Devil Rays, here's Shea Hillenbrand smacking the tar out of a baseball -- it landed somewhere in the cheap seats.
It don't get any fresher than this!
From Tuesday's Jays-Rays tilt, mere hours ago, here's Aaron Hill leaping over Ty Wigginton to turn the double play:
