How hot is Brooks Conrad?

thenerdhater — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 21:32:15 -0000

I've been hearing a lot of chatter from the single (and not so single) ladies about how hot this new callup is. Brooks Conrad is certainly hot, but I want to know how hot he is...so here's a poll (no pun intended).

So, all of you Tomahawkers out there, I want to know what you think of this new guy. Would you or wouldn't you?

I posted a link to another, newer image below. Guy looks powerful Powerful hot.

Padres finally win in a trade with Cardinals

Looks like the change of scenery didn't help Khalil-bot at all.

Shortstop Khalil Greene will be used in more of a utility role rather than starting for at least the near term, manager Tony La Russa confirmed Monday. The hope is that Greene, whose struggles at the plate have bled into his defense, will benefit mentally from a lighter load.

via images.stltoday.com

He's been really struggling and the rookie the Cards have brought up, Tyler Greene (no relation, as robots can't procreate....yet) has been playing really well.

And in this quote, Khalil finally admits to being a robot

"I don't think there's anybody who could understand the depth of how frustrating it can be," Greene said, "because it's not something I leave at the field. Ideally, that would be the case. But I guess the reality of it is that's not how I'm wired. So I have to work extremely hard to get away from the field mentally."

He tries to cover his tracks with this quote, but it's exactly what a robot would say..no human would call themselves an intelligent thinking human being.

"That's the way it's always been," Greene said, referring to his condition's compulsive nature. "It's not rational. It's not something I think as an intelligent thinking human being"

I'm thinking the Cards can encourage fans to still come to the ballpark by tying Khalil-bot into the new Terminator movie. I can picture Khalil screaming as Christian Bale asks him if he thinks he's human...and then reveals his robot torso. Cross promotion at its best.

In closing...congrats Padres fans...you finally got the better end of the deal

I was turned on to this from Lance's Twitter posts. Lance called it a "must watch", so all you uncommon sportsman out there better oblige.

The video takes a little while to get going..some dramatic setup stuff and then some fairly common street free riding stuff...but then it gets to be, well, awesome.

I internalize more, and that leads people to assume different things about me. As if I'm an emotional robot or because I don't have these outward emotions that I don't care about the game.

Gaslamp Ball Morning Meeting

Dex and Jbox don't know it, but I secretly filmed one of their morning meetings as a way to let all of their fans get a glimpse of how the magic happens. If they agree, maybe we'll get more access to the glorious minds behind the site.

Please watch the video below and enjoy this rare, exclusive access to the brains behind Gaslamp. Here's a link to the video in case you can't see the video embedded below - Link
