Though I got some support from Kei in the comments, I think Alexei needs a little more defending. I'll admit that he looks a little like a chipmunk...
And according to Google image search appears to have a strong tendency to be photographed with his hands in the air...
But watch this video and tell me that there is not something kind of cute about this stringy infielder. Look at him pow-wow with Konerko after the play. I don't even think they speak the same language!
Maybe not quite as handsome as the Sox's last 2nd baseman, but close.
I think he looks more like a lizard than a chipmunk, but whatever.
ReplyDeleteYour video prompted me to watch this clip of Manny Ramirez falling backwards in the outfield: http://buzzcuts.uproxx.com/sports/2122
OMG TOO FUNNY.
SAM! WELCOME BACK!
ReplyDeleteI disagree with jenni. Alexi looks totally warm blooded. Like a sad, cute chipmunk. I can imagine him coming to pick up my daughter for homecoming. As I see them off my heart swells. I think about how sad and cute looking he is and how it'll never work out once my daughter realizes how hot she is.
What kind of future parent fantasizes about his teenage daughter going out with a chipmunk?

YOUR DAUGHTER IS SIMON!
I love that this video exists in high quality form. Look at Alexei, all cool about it! That certainly adds to the appeal. The verdict is still out--I'm going to have to see him in person and report back.
ReplyDeleteAnd OMG TADAHITO! I miss him so much.
