Cub moment
Not a great video, but it’ll have to serve:
That’s Tyler Colvin getting hit in the chest with a broken bat head. Yeah, pointy-part first. He’s in the hospital with a bunch of sutures and a breathing tube, which is about as good an outcome as one could expect from a chest injury. The sportswriter covering this the most is Keith Olbermann, which is too bad; I’ll spare you any of his drivel.
I guess this is where I add "fuck maple bats," but the comedy reverse is that Wellington Castillo was swinging ash. So I guess I just have to settle on FUCK DA PO-LICE.
Edit: Whoops, nope, looks like that was a maple bat after all. Looked like ash to me. So here: fuck maple bats. And still da po-lice. If you have mlb.tv — and you know you do — pull up today’s Cubs game, jump to the second inning, and pick Castillo’s second PA from the selector gadget to see all the drama unfold. It looked pretty goddamn ferocious, let me tell you.
