Forget analysis, breakdowns, your favorite team, your fantasy team, who said what about whom back in January. When Jose Bautista comes to the plate, people stop and they watch. He’s making the 2011 season for baseball fans. (via Joe Sheehan/SI.com)

18 baserunners left on base was the real culprit. Plus, I like Snider’s adventures in left field. His long hair flapping in the wind, while he occasionally unleashes a surprisingly strong arm. I’ll take it for my summer entertainment.

I like the hair, but the moustache has got to go. And to me, all LOBs mean is that the hitters are hitting. Put enough guys on base, and they’ll start coming home eventually… at least… statistically speaking, they should.

Anyway, my therapist told me to focus on the positives of a situation, so: PULLBEN! I mean bullpen! I haven’t had anything to drink tonight!

But the moustache makes Travis Snider legendary. Legendary.

See? Even bullpen maestro Shawn Camp agrees moustaches are hot.
