Gentlemen, I'd like to introduce you to the newest member of the Milwaukee Brewers, Felipe Lopez! |
 |
Hey guys, what's up? I'm happy to be here. |
 |
HO-LA! |
 |
Uhhh, hi. Casey McGehee, right? I think you're a great ball player. |
 |
HABLA INGLESIAS?! |
 |
Yeah, I speak English. I went to high school in Florida. |
 |
ME LLAMO ES CASEY! |
 |
I know I just said that. |
 |
Don't worry about him. He's just nervous you're going to take his playing time. |
 |
YO QUIERO SECOND BASE-O?! |
 |
CRAIG COUNSELL! Wow, I remember watching you in high school! Are you a coach here? |
 |
Not yet. Right now I am the starting 2nd baseman and 5th best hitter on the team. |
 |
Really? With that goofy swing? |
 |
I realized in the offseason that batting like I was listening to Baby Bash's Cyclone wasn't good for my stats. |
 |
Hey Felipe, glad to have you. You were always my favorite National. Well, between you and Dmitri Young. |
 |
Why thank you Ryan. Glad to be here. |
 |
So, where's your wife Jennifer at? |
 |
At home. |
 |
Oh. |
 |
Don't mind him, he tries that with all the newbies. |
 |
What are you eating there? |
 |
It's a wheat Krispy Kreme veggieburger. Want some? |
 |
God no. How is it? |
 |
Put it this way, every time I swing I am swinging at my younger self for getting married. You may not realize this, but I swing very, very hard. |
 |
Is there anything good to eat around here? |
 |
Yeah man, I tell ya what, man. That dang ol' Comet Cafe, man. You just go in there and they bring ya' bacon and bacon and more bacon. Talk about good, man. An' lotsa other good stuff in on there, man. It's real good, man. |
 |
Boomhauer from King of the Hill right? That's awesome. |
 |
What the hells this dang guy talkin' bout man? You asked a dang ol' question and I tried to answer, dang ol' bacon man. |
 |
FELIPE! Remember me from the 2008 Cardinals? |
 |
Yeah, it was only last year. Remember I said you looked like Vincent D'Onofrio in Men In Black? |
 |
Oh yeah. |
 |
Welcome to the Brewers, Phillip Lopeze. |
 |
It's pronounced Felipe Lopez. |
 |
Oh, I should probably know that lol. |
 |
/creates elaborate high-five for Felipe Lopez, immediately becomes his best friend in baseball |
 |
DON'T TOME MI TRABAJO POR FAVOR!! |
Perhaps the best “behind the scenes” report yet. Well played!
Hilarious! Now I don’t have to write my many time planned, never executed sports blog.
