Bobblesniper vs. George Brett shitting their pants. Both True stories.

by | Jul 12, 2017 | Sniper Rants

I love this story so much, I myself, almost shit my pants when I saw this video over 10 years ago. Classic baseball man’s story of a guy just trying to have a good time.

The closest I came to shitting my pants was back at Uconn. We all went to the bar and got totally lit and we came back to my dorm and ordered wings. 20 minutes after I finished, someone in the room told a joke and I laughed so hard, shit started to quiver out of my ass. I’ll never forget it.

Okay, it’s not a George Brett story but here’s for anyone that’s ever shit their pants or have even come close. 

Be patient with the video as it’s a little scratchy. 

Who wins the Homerun Derby?

by | Jul 10, 2017 | Sniper Rants

For the life of me I cannot stand Chris Berman screaming back! back! back! back! I remember watching the derby as a kid and he annoyed the piss out of me. It’s essentially batting practice and you get to chose who throws to you. Is it entertaining? Yes. Is Berman annoying as fuck? Yes.

So the dark horse is Aaron Judge with his big swinging dick of a bat but I gotta go with Giancarlo Stanton. He won the thing last year and he’s home with the crowd right by his side. All these other clowns don’t have a chance. 

If you’re a betting man, place you wager on Stanton. End of story and thank me when you get paid. 

Bobble of the Day “Billy the Marlin” Mascot

by | Jul 10, 2017 | Bobble of the Day

Bobble of the Day

Mascot: Billy the Marlin

Team: Miami Marlins

Year: 2016

Manufacturer: Forever Collectibles

Billy the Marlin is the shit. A famous Miami fish to be caught in the gorgeous water’s of South Beach and he represents the Marlins in fashion. Billy is always smiling and is there to make the Marlins faithful happy.

This mascot bobble is quite hard to find and it’s a special one. The base has the Marlins logo splattered right on top with a orange background around the perimeter. As you can see, the letters are NOT raised and I can’t understand that concept. I swear, every time I see a FOCO bobble with sticker letters it gets me more and more angry. 

I love the pose Billy is in as he’s holding the orange bat and his left arm placed on his hip. The white jersey blends in great with the black base. The head of Billy is killer! A combination of silver, aqua blue, white and black colors really pop on this one.

 

 

Sniper Rating: If you collect mascot bobbles, there’s no question this NEEDS to be in your collection. The Marlins aren’t the best team in the league, but Billy is easily a top 5 mascot in MLB. Without further question, Billy the Marlin scores a 9.5. 

Motivational Monday

by | Jul 10, 2017 | Motivational

If I’m as good as I think I am, it’s all gonna play out. 

Tell yourself this. Don’t worry about being “good” enough, instead, worry about doing the things you need to do to be “good” enough! You know your strengths and YOU have to use them to your advantage. I know I’m good at what I do. I want to BECOME better. Better at reaching out to people and most importantly helping more and more people. It’s not just about posting cool pics of bobbleheads and reviewing bobbles through You Tube, it’s about connecting and building an empire where people can share their passion and work towards their personal goals. 

I’d rather my players who are on my team not make the All-Star team.

by | Jul 7, 2017 | Sniper Rants

I’ve said it for years. I would rather no players from my team that I root for (Boston Red Sox) not make the All-Star team.

The MLB season is a fucking grind. Players traveling, playing, getting hurt, living out of a suitcase, and flat out exhausted after 162 games. Even mid-way through the season they are tired as hell. Now, pitchers are even worse. Someone like Chris Sale who throws 110+ pitches per game needs to rest. He needs to stay home, relax, hang out in the pool, get blown or whatever it is he does. I don’t want any of my players getting hurt in the All-Star game. In addition, pitchers get all jacked up facing the best hitters in the game and tend to over throw. 

Now this won’t happen because the All-Star game is an event for everyone. It’s for the fans if anything. If Sale can throw a quick inning I’d be happy. If Kimbrel doesn’t get in the game I’d be happy. None the less, it is an honor to make the All-Star team but I’d rather have my troops rest up at home and get ready for the second half.
