BEES! NOT THE BEES!
07.23.09There’s almost no news value to this at all, but seeing Mets outfielder Jeff Francoeur going fetal in the presence of a fly ball is just so enjoyably bizarre. You know, outfielders have done nothing but catch the ball for so long in this game, it’s great to see somebody trying a different approach. I’m sure the sabermetricians are scratching their heads over how to quantify it. Though if they can work the acronym into something like PUSS, I could totally get down with that. via.


Ummm last I checked he went to the Mets. Since we’re talking Mets, where’s the story about manager Tony Bernazard of the Binghamton Mets. He took his shirt off and challenged the whole team to fight him. Paying attention Ozzie Guillen?
According to Bill James, you have a 0% chance of catching the ball if you’re terrible and have a swarm of bees in front of you.
/AYE AYE AYE!!!
Cut him some slack, it would’ve been worse if he opened his mouth in anticipation of getting balls in the face, not turtling.
