Padres Players and their knuckles

by jbox on Aug 6, 2008 9:37 AM PDT

All baseball players in general are so weird with all their high fives, secret handshakes, chest bumps, ass pats and knuckles. Right before the game started yesterday Channel 4 had a shot of the Padres dugout and pre-game knuckle fest.

Somehow I snipped the very beginning of the clip, but Edgar is stretching his legs and Hairston keeps tapping him on the back, like "hey stop stretching we have to do something really important, stretching can wait". Then Edgar turns around and is like "What dude? I was stretching?" Then Hairston is like "Remember our pre-game knuckle bump?" and Edgar is like "Word!" and then they bump knuckles.

Then at the end of the clip Hairston makes his way over to Wally Joyner and Wally is like "Where you think you're going Hairston? Did you forget our secret Knuckle Bump Explosion?" Hairston be like "Hell no. Should we do the Dr. Evil version?" and Wally responds "Hell yes we should!" Maybe it's Wally's bald globe and it's similarity to Dr. Evil's look. Who knows what these ball players think now a days?

Dr. Evil

Topical, guys. Maybe this is why you suck. You think it’s 1997/1999/2002.

They just had simultaneous hangnails.

or maybe it was like

“Scott, you got something in your teeth… right here”
“Right here?”
“You got it. Let’s bump knuckles.”

Loves

the choice of music to accompany it.

“Poor Poor Pitiful Me”, by I Have No Idea.

I like the chick version better.
She has ~~nads~~ ~~cajones~~ chutzpah.

And here's a young child saying those 2 words we all wanna hear. "DON'T SUCK!" ~our thought when the game starts.

Warren Zevon

It was just one of the choices that you can choose on Youtube. I just kind of chose it at random. There is less chance YouTube will take it down if I dub out the sound.
