Venable growing out of control

signonsandiego:

Padres rookie Will Venable has grown an inch and gained muscle since the Padres listed him at 6 feet 2 inches and 205 pounds in their media guide. “They shortchanged me twice,” Venable said with a smile. “I'm 6-foot-3 and about 225 pounds.”

Let me do some quick math...if he keeps growing at his current rate he'll be 6'8" and 350 pounds by the end of the season.

Human Growth Hormone is not a toy!

he’ll walk by CY, bend down, and pat him on the head “how’s it going little man?”

I like how your verbs are things. I think I'm going to sandwhich after I sofa here for a bit.

Unfortunately

His hands will grow so large he won’t be able to use a regulation sized glove and be forced to retire. It’s sad really.

With all due respect, you are not allowed to find our division rivals sexy.

then they’ll finally come through with an antidote (of sorts) and he can live in my dolls house!

but he'll be able to rob 500 foot HRs by reaching up and grabbing them

that’s always a plus…

Yeah

I guess there’s no rule saying you need to use a glove. If his hands grow that big he can just knock balls down with them or clap them together to kill them like flies.

Actually, if he could take the punishment, he could just stand in front of home plate and knock down balls as they are hit. Then the other teams would counter by using elephants as players and just put them in the infield to block balls. You’d still need someone to field them though. Also they might get in the way of throwing to first. It’s a crazy world Venable is creating.

Total Fark

I noticed we got a Total Fark link to this story. Did they make it funnier? I bet they wrote a funnier headline.

Axion you’re a Total Farker, scope it out for us.
