The Laziest Post In Blogging: Brett and Shane Edition
Posted by meech.one at 9:04 am ET 8 Comments

It’s pretty early here in Philadelphia. My eyes are still bloodshot, my head hurts, and my stomach doesn’t seem to be agreeing this bacon, egg, & cheese on a longroll that I just devoured. But still, in my cloudy mindstate, I can say that Brett Myers’ 2nd inning at-bat followed by Shane Victorino’s Grand Slam two batters later may have been the greatest collective moment of a Philadelphia sporting event that I’ve ever witnessed in person.

So, in honor of Brett and Shane, here are a fine collection of links to celebrate…

  • Enrico The Great from The 700 Level was at the game as well just a few sections over from yours truly, and he was keen enough to shoot video of the Brett Myers AB. This, ladies and gents, is the must-see video of the year. [The 700 Level]
  • Shane Victorino took to his MLBlog last night after his incredibly incredible performance, “When I first hit that ball, I said I have to get going. When I was running I looked at Ryan Braun and he stopped, and I thought, did that really just happen?” Yes, Shane, it happened. [Shane Victorino's Postseason Blog]
  • Over on Crashburn Alley, Bill Baer breaks down Brett’s two at-bats vs. Sabathia. In two plate appearances, he saw 19 pitches, drew a walk, and flew out to Mike Cameron. Huh, it doesn’t seem so special when you put it like that. [Crashburn Alley]
  • If you’re in the market for new desktop wallpaper, I have a recommendation:

  • Per Todd Zolecki’s Phillies Zone, Brett Myers wondered aloud after the game, “Did I pitch tonight?” Ahhh, yes Brett, we almost forgot how good you were on the hill. [Phillies Zone]
  • And finally, Brett talks about his plate approach. He says, “I wasn’t trying to be a hero in that situation.” FAIL?

    Vic’s grand slam hit my section, and I already rank it with one of the best sports moments I’ve ever been to live. That place was crazy last night.

    Look at that grin, like that mf’er knew it all along.

  5. How do you spell retard? Says:

    I could make that my background, but I’ll have to splice in Ludivine Sagnier’s picture somewhere in the crowd.

  6. Joe B Says:
