A few weeks ago I brought you five pictures of baseball players that should probably be wiped off the books.  Well, as the fantasy season trolls on and my team continues to fight, I’m always scanning the player profiles for things out of the ordinary.

I just happened to stumble across another 6 profile pictures that were noteworthy of a making fun of session.

Enjoy

I imagine that many of you out there are in Fantasy Baseball leagues.  And while I’ve tried most systems, I tend to find Yahoo’s platform to be the easiest (and how could you not love Preston from customer service? what a gentleman).

And when you’ve been through enough seasons there aren’t too many new things to look forward to year after year.  However, I have to admit it’s always fun to see what the new player profile pictures look like.  It’s always a treat when you run into something special.

I’m going to make this a running series because it’s really hard scour through hundreds of baseball player profiles.  But honestly if you guys have any other suggestions please send them on by and I’ll be sure to put them up in the next installment.

Here are the first five ridiculous yahoo baseball player profile pictures

David Ortiz finally hit a bomb the other day but let’s face it, there’s something severely wrong with the guy.  I find it quite interesting that no one has yet brought up steroids as a possible reason.  I’d have to assume that most people are thinking it but wouldn’t it at least be logical?

It’s not like Ortiz is 40 years old.  Even he’s said so himself.   So the bottom line is that something has to be wrong with the guy.  And as fantasy owners wait for the man to turn it all around for some kind of miracle rest of the season, we’re all trying to figure out what the hell this dude’s real problem is.

Well I’ve come up with some pretty legit reasons as to why Ortiz is screwing up on a consistent basis this year.

He might want to read this.

Remetee is a premium lifestyle brand with flawless mixtures of art, culture, music and fashion. Each garment is viewed as a blank slate to express a mixture of diverse LA cultures and influences. These influences, originating from the graffiti lined streets and gritty tattoo parlors lining LA’s coast, infuse luxury LA culture through fit, fabric and art to create true California Couture.

Yeah maybe that’s what the description says.  I say it’s about the lamest kind of shirt on the market.  And I’m surprised that dudes like Ryan Braun, Phil Hughes, and others decided to model them.

Being a closer in Major League Baseball sure as hell ain’t what it used to be.  Nowadays some guys get 10 figure deals in the offseason and are valued way too highly.  Plus, and I could be wrong here, I feel like saves are a joke these days and back in the 70’s, 80’s and even early 90’s a closer really “closed” a game.  You got a one run lead, a tough lineup coming up, and you really need to earn it.

Now you got a three run lead and it’s automatically time to put in the closer.   Guy gives up two runs and still earns the save? It’s just boring and pathetic if you ask me.  Plus, where’s the flare in our guys today?  I mean where’s the excitement on the mound?

Is Julian Tavarez the only psycho reliever left out there?  And he’s not even a closer.  Eh whatever.  Point is, I just miss some of these guys.

Here are seven closers we need back in MLB

I’m not sure why drafting Rickie Weeks (albeit in the 18th round), Carlos Delgado, and Vladimir Guerrero would lead me to believe I had any shot at a title this year, but clearly I must have been and still am delusional.

It was a nice tease.  A lovely beginning to what could have been a historical season for Dicky Weeks.  It’s a shame.  A damned shame.  If it weren’t for making millions of dollars and the always possibility of steroids I might actually even feel bad for this guy.

But as it stands I have to count on Alberto Callaspo and Felipe Lopez to fill the void?  No.  Now I need to make a trade which will really suck to do.  And it’s only May.

Man I hate fantasy baseball.  Couldn’t the season just end today while I’m still in first?

Given all the crap going on lately with Manny, Mr. Rodriguez and of course Sir Clemens, I’d like us all to simply take a breath and try to relax.  It’s been a tumultuous road filled with scandal, pressure, and a taint that smells worse than my ass after running six miles.

Baseball’s best and brightest players aren’t really the best and certainly aren’t the brightest.  The game keeps taking turns for the worse as aspiring, clean players try to make their historical marks.

So while we wait for the next “clean star” to go down (is Pujols legit?) let us try and continue poking fun at the stinkers out there.

Clemens, these pictures are for you bud.

In light of the recent steroid news on Manny Ramirez (I hope you’re not all surprised by this), rather than focus on wrong doings and his blatant violation of rules, I’d like to remind us all of the brighter side of Mr. Ramirez.

Here is a small sized sample of Manny just being Manny

Relaying details from an upcoming book on Alex Rodriguez by Sports Illustrated’s Selena Roberts, the New York Daily News reports today that Rodriguez may have started taking steroids as early as high school and is suspected of continuing his use of performance-enhancing drugs with the New York Yankees.

Here’s what would be way more interesting.  If they could somehow find a link between steroid use, a strange attraction to manly women, and acting like a complete metero and sometimes homosexual, well then you’d A.  Have a story and B.  More than likely have a strong reduction in steroid use across America.

By the way, does anyone else find it completely appropriate that there’s a giant heading “Golden Girl” right under A-Rod’s picture?
