Happy Birthday, Brave Ulysses

PrintHe who wrote the first chapter of his own legend with a mighty game-winning, pinch-hit grand slam.
He who crushed another grand slam to spare his brothers the indignity of a no-hitter, and gave his pitching comrade all the support he would need for a no-hitter of his own.
He who smoked a game-winning double the very next day.
He who snatched victory from the jaws of defeat three days later with a game-winning, three-run smite, against that most hated and feared of enemies.
He who showed his nation the power of the opposite-flank attack, lifting his army to victory once more.
He who revitalized an ancient band, and an ancient song, so that others may know of his mighty tales.
He who emerged from the bowels of the Trojan Horse, to strike fear into the hearts of American League opponents.

He who won't be starting today because the Twins are starting a Lefty.

This will change, brothers
Have faith in the order of the universe. All will be well with Ulysses’ heroic quest, even if it takes two and a half bottles of merlot and a hypnotist to make it so.

Also, just looked up Dan Johnson’s career splits, his BA and OBA are identical against RHP and LHP…SLG is a little lower against LHP.
Sure he won’t be in the lineup tonight, though.
Is the Cream song Joyce’s walk up song?

It is not his walkup song
It’s only his song because some deranged lunatic made the leap from Matt Joyce to James Joyce to Ulysses to Joyce’s nickname being Ulysses to I wonder if there’s a good song with “Ulysses” in it to “Oh yeah, there is.”
and on it goes...
The tales of brave Ulysses are typically passed down in the works of… Homer.
Does that explain the late inning heroics?

Matt Joyce = the man of twists and turns
The caller said the boy, after removing the bulb from its socket, left the building and threw the bulb on the ground. When the bulb broke, the caller said the boy screamed "Free the slaves at traffic stops from false arrest and jury fixing"

This thread not getting enough play because of that stupid race thread. Sorry Jonah.
If I am commenting you need to hear it. Not really. www.theraysrepublic.com
The solo at the end is pretty sick though
It was a ridiculous threesome they put together, but only made a handful of good songs IMO.
I actually thought about typing it differently, but then I decided to see if anyone would say anything
You never disappoint
i was late but i think it deserves at least an honorable mention, not to toot my own horn.
I was originally from NY for your information, I probably know alot more about the Yankees and the game of Baseball in general than you do, so I believe your the loser
FTFY

I have a liking for "Badge" meself
Witty's 2010 Draft review is full of meaty goodness. What you mean, you're vegan?! Sigh. Just read it.
Something magical...
About watching him make solid, hard contact with that fluid swing… It’s like watching Jaso work a count and draw a walk.
Sean Dunne: Chasing some Shore Road princess who's trying to get Daddy's attention by screwing the lawn boy.
He just squares up the ball so well too
His mechanics are awesome, and he has one of the best, if not the best, swing on the team.
His nickname is Gonzo, you.
Not my cat. My cat isn't fat like that. I use to have a fat maine coon though.

You thought the leaden winter...
You thought the leaden winter would bring you down forever,
But you rode upon a steamer to the violence of the sun.
GO RAYS
