Padres and "Frosted Tips"

It seems to me that baseball players are real slow to adjust to fashion trends. Baseball players hung on to the mullet well into the 2000's and now they are little too into bleaching / streaking / frosting their hair. Ramon Hernandez reminded me of this. Most of the current Padres have their hair colored. Most of the time you can't tell because they have their caps or helmets on, but on those Channel 4 interviews it really makes you cringe. If anybody can help me compile a list of current Pads with their hair colored I'd appreciate it and we could keep a close watch on them. Maybe even convince some of them to let it go. Since my friend's wife's cousin is always hanging out with the Pads we can pass a message to them. Drop us a comment if you have a list. I know I've seen Klesko, Hernandez, Giles and Nevin. I wonder if you can count Bochy in the list for doing that white streak in his eyelashes.

Ramon Hernandez taking too much pride in getting hurt

In this Phil Rogers article on ESPN Ramon brags about being injured.



Okay I read the article now and I guess he doesn't brag about being injured like I guessed. I was at this game vs. Toronto last season when Hernandez blocked the plate and ended up on the disabled list for a month. Sure he held onto the ball and made the out, but that run would have made little difference in the game. I just remember thinking that after the game. To be honest I can't even remember who won, but I was at that Sunday game. He shoulda just done the sweep tag or let the run score and he'd been able to contribute for that month he was off. It's a dumb but macho decision to take the hit. Unless it's a pivotal game. That's a different story.

Catchers should charge the base runner, that'll teach them to come charging into the plate. See how tough they are in with momentum coming at them as well. I bet I wouldn't have forgotten the outcome of the game if that happened.
