Create-a-Caption: Easy, tiger

18 Oct
2012

Of all the people who were disappointed that Game 4 of the ALCS was rained out on Wednesday night, I'd have to think this guy was the most affected. Think he's somehow related to this family of soon-to-be-famous Tigers rappers?

So have at it, amateur Internet copy editors of the world. How should this caption read?

Follow the jump for winners from our last C-a-C, featuring a happy moment in Nats history:

Jayson Werth's landing

1st — Spud. "Playing it safe, Jayson Werth is raced home atop the shoulders of the ghost of Kendrys Morales, the Patron Saint of Celebration-Induced Injuries."

2nd — Thomas Ireland. One small step for man, one giant leap for Werth-kind.

3rd — Todd. "Despite his teammates opposition to the idea, Jayson Werth refuses to stop pushing the idea of the "Rally Flying Squirrel" postseason mascot"

HM — Tom Reed. "Red Rover, Red Rover, oh dear god, don't get hurt."

Make sure all your bases are covered this postseason ..

Create-a-Caption: Jayson Werth’s landing

12 Oct
2012

Should the Washington Nationals go on to win the World Series, we might be looking at the iconic image of the 2012 postseason. As it is, it's already leading the overall album. Rob Carr's great shot for Getty Images already made the front page of the Washington Post, has inspired some great photoshops and probably serves as the screensaver in just a few D.C. offices.

So have at it, amateur Internet copy editors of the world. How should this caption read?

Follow the jump for winners from our last C-a-C featuring A-Rod's best efforts to improve:

A-Rod conditions his bat

1st — Denis. "1 for 9 ... yeah, I should probably get used to this equipment manager gig."

2nd — Bubb Rubb. "Eat your heart out George Brett."

3rd — Paul C. "A few more ounces of pine tar and this bat will officially weigh more than my postseason averages."

HM — AndrewScott48. "A-Rod having fun at Arts and Crafts Day in Baltimore."

Make sure all your bases are covered this postseason ...

Create-a-Caption: Cool Steveshake, Lakers point guards

11 Oct
2012

I think it's good that Steve Nash and Steve Blake are really embracing this whole "we are guys named Steve who play the same position for the Los Angeles Lakers" thing. Genuine enthusiasm about shared life experience is great, so go ahead and Steve it up, I say. One thing, though: While I get the tractor beam-style slow approach of the flat hands, I'm not so sure about the way they "dock" and just stay together, motionless, for two to three minutes at a time. Kind of seems like you're overcommitting to the bit.

Plus, the refs really want to resume play, and that's not going to happen until one of you "disengages" and officially checks in while the other officially checks out. Maybe instead, you could just give it a good ol' slide and make them Steveships passing in the night. Just an idea. Either way, don't stop rockin' in the Steve world.

Best caption wins a performance of a song I like by Steve, the original dude from "Blue's Clues." It features the involvement of several dudes affiliated with the Flaming Lips, and scarcely any cartoon dogs (not provided by Lips affiliates, at least). Good luck.

In our last adventure, which took place a couple of weeks back: MarShon Brooks is sent to the back of the line.

Winner, Larry B: MarShon Brooks: "I got your back now, little man. Which one is The Gooch?"

Runner-up, Meowmeowmeow: "Hmm, what's Deron doing over there with all that popcorn?"

Second runner-up, Ball15life: MarShon Brooks is not as eager as the other kids when he finds out the special NBA guest will be Kris Humphries.

Create-a-Caption: A-Rod conditions his bat

09 Oct
2012

For the time, it would appear that Alex Rodriguez's annual foray into the world of October controversy is being limited to a discussion of whether or not Robinson Cano should take his third spot in the New York Yankees lineup. The overwhelming opinion? Yes, Cano should.

But should the Yankees lose in Wednesday's ALDS Game 3, A-Rod might be in prime position for another scapegoating, no matter whether he deserves it or not. Through two games with Baltimore, A-Rod is hitting 1 for 9 with five strikeouts and has been a rally killer atop the lineup. That's just not going to cut it, especially in a town that's already well practiced with getting on his case during the postseason.

So have at it, amateur Internet copy editors of the world. How should this caption read?

Follow the jump for winners from our last C-a-C featuring the illusion of a sucker punch:

Sucker punch at home plate

1st — Michael. "I said NO Tebowing!!"

2nd — Mattingly's Mullet. "This brings new meaning to being 'punched out' by the umpire."

3rd — Wu-Pang. "MLB umpires won't be intimidated like NFL replacement refs."

HM — John C. "And now....you're REALLY out"

Make sure all your bases are covered this postseason ...

Create-a-Caption: Sucker punch at home plate

28 Sep
2012

We already had a little fun with perspective when it came to the levitating Jay Bruce photo, but check out this one, too: Home plate umpire Lance Barksdale looks like he's about to punch Seattle's Franklin Gutierrez in the face for being thrown out at the plate. Seems harsh.

Anyway, have at it, amateur Internet copy editors of the world. How should this caption read?

Follow the jump for winners from our last C-a-C featuring a face-first Colby Rasmus:

Colby Rasmus pays the price

1st — The Unsilent Majority. "Welcome aboard the Gravitron!"

2nd — Ty. Fifteen Minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance!
Colby: Yes, I'm listening??

3rd — Mike L. "So easy Colby Rasmus can do ... oh geez."

HM — Charlie. "The Traction Rays will pull you to the wall!"
