Maybe "heads up" is Tennesseean for "emergency services please deploy".

That is impressive hops, for sure.

Not to split hairs, but I would measure an effective vertical by what you are able to reach--overhead, not by how tight you can tuck your heels. (This is based on the assumption that the purpose of a vertical is to do awesome slam dunks, like over dudes heads and what-not. By no means the only reason to develop a vertical--it's just the only thing I ever did with it.)

Yeah, I mis-spoke. The vid referred to it as a box jump...we called 'em table jumps when I was in school.

Maybe ya can't tell without the Crown Royal hat, but, that's Troy Tulowitzki getting, uh...

...I'm not sure what's going on there.

Quote:

A night after a foul ball by teammate Dexter Fowler struck near his left knee, Tulowitzki returned to Colorado's starting lineup Tuesday against the San Francisco Giants despite some soreness in his leg.

Tulowitzki had yet to see a replay of the incident - and isn't sure he'd want to watch one anyway. He said he'll still stand on the dugout steps - something he has done his entire career - before he's on-deck but will certainly do more to shield himself.

''Maybe not like on the top, top step,'' Tulowitzki said. ''I've been standing up there forever. But I guess all it takes is one time.''

Colorado knows the injury to its star shortstop could've been far worse.

Fowler sent a line drive into the Rockies' dugout along first base in the eighth inning of San Francisco's 3-2 victory Monday night. After being examined by athletic trainer Keith Dugger, Tulowitzki stayed in the game and took his turn at-bat.

He reached on an infield single against Javier Lopez but hobbled to the base, clearly in pain. Manager Jim Tracy and Dugger hustled out to first and Tulowitzki was lifted for pinch-runner Chris Nelson.

It was more fun not knowing. :)

I neglected to get any info on this, but:

Take two of these and see if you can call me in the morning.

Or:

"Hit me I'm wide open!"

To get the full effect here, keep in mind the fellow being held up over Tendai "The Beast" Mtawarira's head is Anton Bresler, and he weighs 247 lbs. And w/Beast's arms fully extended, and the full 247 lbs dangling behind his back...

:eek:
