Edinson Volquez, “What? It’s called a video SHOOT!”
CAUTION: NSFWIYWILA (Not Safe For Work If You Work In Latin America)
Sorry, looks like Youtube removed the video. Maybe Edinson/Edison/Julio Reyes/Volquez will show up to Spring Training with his piece. Til then…

Now I’m really glad I left him off the Top 20 Risky Pitcher list…

I’ve always admired his heater.
He has a gun for an arm.

@Grey: And vice versa.
Reminds me of a good (and probably apocryphal) Dorothy Parker quip. Arriving late to a meeting, she said, “Sorry I’m late. I was f#cking busy, and vice versa.”
And that’s me quoting Dorothy Parker.
@Baron Von Vulturewins: But was her roundtable as well-attended as the fantasy baseball roundtable?

So much slang for my intermediate Spanish brain.

Nice hat.

Seems to have no trouble squaring up the barrel.

One 3600 pitch season and he’s trying to impersonate Carmelo…

@Grey: Little known fact: She was an avid rotisserie baseball player. Her famed Girls in Glasses team whipped George S. Kaufman’s The Men Who Came to Dinner and Robert Benchley’s Benchley Warmers year in and year out.

What’s with the hat, Mr. 3000?
February 5th, 2009 at 12:23 pm
Perhaps they’re going to gun someone down at the plate.
@Baron Von Vulturewins: Supposedly Tallulah Bankhead managed her team, but it has been neither confirmed nor denied.

@Baron Von Vulturewins: @Grey: Really? I would have pegged her for more of a Mae West sort of gal… “A man with a hard gatt is good to find…”

Gun joke.

@Lollygagger: Lol, reminds me of a Daniel Tosh joke: Do you think someone out there has a case of nice Tourette’s? You know, running around yelling out random compliments, “Nice hat! Sorry I have a disease.”
Also, why would anyone hang out with someone who randomly breaks into singing (in another language no less) while talking, let alone handle a weapon.

Thanks Grey, I totally need a margarita right now.

Must be something he picked up while playing in Texas.
@Hank: Ha, hadn’t heard that one before. Nice hat!
@BigFatHippo: Salted?
@peter: Ha! Nice.

@Grey: I had 3 of them after work, complete with Mariachi band spewing words I can’t understand *, in Edinson Volquez’ honor.
No salt for me, gotta watch the blood pressure, I might boil over.
* re: words I can’t understand
Tonight was eerily similar to a Dylan concert I once attended but didn’t comprehend. No comprendo? Si
@BigFatHippo: Sounds like Hippo’s drunk.
February 5th, 2009 at 6:43 pm
@Grey: Si, Hippo’s alter-ego showed up. UberHippo if you will. I blame it all on you.
Ugghhhh, Cuervo Gold’s the best they had.

Asked for the Fine Columbian….no dice.

So for those of us who missed the video… what happened?
@nckdmss: What do you mean by missed? The video’s above. Try a different browser if you can’t see it. It’s worth the aggravation.
February 6th, 2009 at 9:07 am
argh I was at an interview yesterday and I also missed it.
@Grey: Video removed by user.
Google cannot find a copy of it apart from the youtube link
I oh so wanted to hear what he had to say
Alas
@cockyphoenix: @nckdmss: Ah… Guess it’s gone now. If anyone finds the video uploaded somewhere, I’ll put it back in the post. Sorry, ya’ll.
