Hath there been a legend more amazing that that of Sam Fuld? Nay. Surely nay.

Yonder photo-graph comes to us from the @RaysRepublic Twitter account. In it we see our season's savior and Lord of Left Field, the Indeed Samuel Fuld. He hath snared and cradled many a lining drive and flying ball, and appears to have grown weary of earth and elected to part from it.

Before he slips through yon clouds into the wonder of the heavens, yea, let us have one Shoptiontest in his honor, commending and commemorating his majesty with supposed quotes that doth make us har-har and stupendous light refractions that doth make him appear, perhaps, riding Paula Deen riding a cat.

Rules of thine contest follow a pattern of such design:

1. Magnify Samuel Fuld.
2. Desecrate thine enemy, yonder Red Sox and Yankees.
3. Recommend with stars and green hues the entry which doth match your greatest delight.

Shoptiontest -- (n) a combination of a Photoshop and caption contest.

Wow! What a week, huh? Nothing clears the ol' blood vessels much like a good ol' fashioned, rage-filled Shoptiontest. Here's some bulleted stuff:

• Keep it clean-ish. If it does not comply with our Community Guidelines then we'll be forced to hide it.
• Abuse our rivals. Nothing makes us happier than seeing the Yankees, Red Sox, Blue Jays, or Orioles players in pink, frilly tutus or with their heads pasted onto the body of a hideous dog.
• Rec your favorites. Obviously.

On April 16, 2006, Ty Wigginton, Jonny Gomes, and Damon Hollins each hit home runs, powering the Tampa Bay Devil Rays to 9-5 win and a sweep over the Kansas City Royals. The Devil Rays then possessed a 7-6 record and were in 2nd place -- only 1 1/2 games out of first.

This would be the last day that Joe Maddon was ever a winning manager in Tampa Bay.

Yes, only 13 games into his tenure here in Tampa, Maddon began watching loss after loss until the Devil Rays finally ended that season at 36 games behind the Yankees, and he began his great trek into pitifulness that was 2007.

However, just the other day, Maddon finally hit .500. I think that now -- more than ever because of the playoff push -- it would be a great time for Maddon to hit the winning side of .500. After the recent losses to the Orioles and Red Sox, it seems fate would want to keep him away from this mini-milestone. So let's counter fate with some voodoo.

After a game like yesterday, a nice comedic step back seems rather appropriate. A recent Twitter meme has involved "It's Pat Burrell's Fault that.......". That seems like a decent starting point.

It's been a slow day. What better time to satisfy two requests with one post: Gents, I present to you Cody Cipriano and a Photo Caption Contest. As far as I can tell these things work by the most frequently rec'd having the distinction of being the victor. Since I have no prize to give, it does not really matter how it works. Have at it!
