WE WILL: Be Animated

Reds 5
Pirates 4

I hit up the Pirates game last night with my coaching brethren... bad baserunning and plays at the plate cost us the game, most of which you won't read about in the PG today. Interesting fan graph for the game. I'm too frustrated over the loss to even make fun of it in a post. Instead, I'm going back to the "I want to know..." segment that airs on jumbo tron. The team was asked who their favorite cartoon character is.

So I propose the question, what cartoon character are each of the players like?

Jose Bautista
Speedy Gonzales
Jose may not be fast, but the physical resemblance is there: big ears and Latin American


Brad Eldred
Bam Bam
Big Country is strong and he has the mentality of a 2 year old. See fast ball, hit fastball hard

Jack Wilson
Donald Duck
Jack, like Donald, tries hard but is really only a supporting character that does his job well

Cesar Izturis
Daffy Duck
Daffy is the younger, less famous version of Donald

Jason Bay
Fred from Scooby Doo
Shaggy and Scooby do all of the work, but Fred seems to be the leader and take the credit

Freddy Sanchez
Mighty Mouse
This really does not need to be explained, does it?

Xavier Nady
Professor Xavier
Obvious choice here, especially now that his hammy has restrained him to the bench

Josh Phelps
Underdog
A hero that gets the job done even if most don't appreciate him

Don Kelly
Olive Oyl

Kelly and Oyl's physical resemblance is so close I think they are siblings

Adam LaRoche
Elmer Fudd

Southern, has some power with that gun, but always seems lost

Jose Castillo
Garfield the Cat
Slow, lathargic and can't handle his weight

Ronny Paulino
Dopey
This is so obvious its scary

Kevin McClatchy & Nate McLouth

Batman & Robin
I'm not touching this one... that's what she said

Maybe tomorrow I will get around to doing the pitchers depending on the response to this post... we'll see.
