Escobar: Strange cat

[DowningRules]

Is it me or is Escobar kind of a strange dude? When the hell did he change his uni number to "0." Not that I'm protesting since Brian Downing's number shoulda been retired.

He's a bit of a fancy boy too. Seems to really appreciate the fashion. I could totally see him being a character on Miami Vice. Can't you? Any of you hot shots out there know where Escobar hangs out, lemme know. I want to hang with him. So long as it's not some sort of tranny massage parlour.

I'm not sure if he hangs out at Fritz's, but I'm going to check it out anyway just to be sure.

I'm sure Blarg knows why, but don't expect any kind of explanation, he's "too cool" to respond with a legitimate answers.

Was this meant to be read aloud in the voice of Norm MacDonald?  Came naturally to me...

Good thing he's a baseball player with some talent, otherwise I don't know where he fits in.

Local Beat Writer: Come on, Mike, tell us about the real Escobar.
Sciocia: Very well, where do I begin? His father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. His mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. His father would womanize, he would drink, he would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Some times he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy, the sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. His childhood was typical, summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring he'd make meat helmets. When he was insolent he was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds, pretty standard really. At the age of 12 he received his first scribe. At the age of fourteen, a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved his testicles. According to him, there really is nothing like a shorn scrotum, he says it's breathtaking, he suggested I try it.
Local Beat Writer: That's will do, Mike.  Thanks...

And what's so wrong about tranny massage parlors?

He does a lot of on field weirdness that the cameras don't pick up. After an out he will touch the ball to the grass before tossing it back to the pitcher. He also draws something in the clay before the game, not as epic as a home plate for the umpire's reference. 

I like the guy,  he picks up the slack from Aybar being gone.

Or, wears socks when he's wearing sandals.

Marge: Homer, Escobar likes the company of other men!

I enjoy all of it too. Some of these guys can be a little robotic. Escobar's weird as hell and it's quite entertaining.

Those two on the same team would have been epic.

I don't think we're too far away from Escobar recording and releasing his own music. I'd like to hear that. I can also see him being a DJ. "DJ Seriosos," perhaps. I wonder if he likes pancakes.

I am also curious if his car has rims.

For some reason, I thought this thread was going to be about the other Escobar. Here's a picture of Yunel doing his best Kelvim impression:

I thought Aybar was a cray cray...but this cat takes the cake...

[Jeff Fletcher]

Next time you're at a game watch this: when any other team throws the ball around the horn, the SS throws to the 3B who throws it to the pitcher. 

With Escobar, he always throws it back to Simmons, then gets it back, then throws it to the pitcher. 

I once asked Simmons about this and his answer was, essentially, he's different.

Marge: Homer, didn't John seem a little... festive to you?

Homer: Couldn't agree more! Happy as a clam

Moe: Come on, don't take this so hard, Homer. You still got that other kid, uh...Tank. let's, uh, take him out hunting tomorrow; make him into a man.

Homer: Aw, he'd never go. He's a vegetarian.

Moe: Oh, geez! Homer, geez! You and Marge ain't cousins, are you?
