One Leaping Laird; Millions of Masterpieces

Email
PrintThe Orioles have the seed-spitting Mark Reynolds, and the Mariners the awkward-fielding Nyjer F'ing Morgan; neither can match the beauty, grace, and.. umm.. enthusiasm as Gerald Laird. Here the majestic backup catcher appears, immortalized in a ballet-like pose after the Cardinals' improbable come-from-behind Game Six victory in the 2011 World Series:
What grace! What beauty! What... enthusiasm! What a fantastic opportunity to create Photoshop masterpieces!
Here is a nice transparent background picture of Gerald to get you all started.
Where would you like to see Gerald leap next? What adventures could possibly lie in store?
Props to TBender, cardinalswsbound, and hr for suggesting this be put together.
Update 01/13/2012: Bless You Boys has gotten in on the action.

I was just thinking about rec for the main post, not the individual ones.
Would be nice if SBN did have a way to tally up comment recs inside a post, but I doubt it’s possible.
However, it’s probably more possible than a working search function or collapsible threads….HEYO!

I'm more for the working search function, threads evolve so I would miss out on some good stuff if I snuffed sub threads
But when the extended arguments over points that have been talked to death happen they rarely evolve, so that would be nice. I’m not being more specific cause I don’t want to start one
My browser’s search function isn’t even working properly today

Imgur has free hosting and you can drag images from your file manager (your documents) and drop them right in
to your imjur account (have it open in you browser). Then click on the image, .gif, jpg, etc you want to post and choose the link in the “HTML Image (websites / blogs)” and past it into the body of your post
the link will look like this in below preview:

I don't know how many Cardinals fans use this nickname
But this has a double meaning. Tigers color guy Rod Allen (who has his own drinking game, is prone to random bouts of general silliniess, like so; and liked to chase Japanese pitchers around and beat them down) used to always call him “G-Money”. It stuck with Tigers fans.
Hence why we are glad to have him back, if only to have Rod say dumb yet hilarious shit about him every eighth day, or whenever Leyland decides to finally give Alex Avila a fucking rest.

That's the thing
the best thing about the Laird grab is the face. It can convey all sorts of different emotions depending on the context. It’s a piece of high art in itself IMO. The photoshops I like are the subtle ones, and the ones that give a different context or meaning to the look on his face (the bear one, because he kinda looks scared, and the one with him coming out of airforce one, because he just looks happy to be there).
