Looking for some Frenchy is Terrible Help

by Sid Bream's Moustache on Mar 4, 2010 3:29 PM EST

Hey guys,

I need the TC community's help with something. A while back in the comments thread of a post someone posted some hilarious pictures / animated Gif's of classic Frenchy strike out fails. I've searched Talking Chop all over and I can't find the thread, and they weren't on Google image search. I need them for something I am writing up, and I was hoping someone could post them to this thread, or point me in the right direction to finding them.

Or you could just comment about your favorite Frenchy strike outs. Mine is the time he struck out on the ball that bounced in the dirt a foot before home plate. Ahh, memories.

Thanks and appreciations

If there was a way to make an animated gif my desktop background, this would be it

I think you can

I know I used to have a video as my background and I know you can make an html page your background. Should be able to stick the gif into HTML and make that your background.

Ill try to find the instructions later…

I read this, “Looking for some Frenchy is terrible help.” As in, looking for some Frenchy wouldn’t help anyone in solving a personal quandary.

There is no favorite Frenchy strikeouts

when he was on the Braves. Every single one was saddening, angering, and disappointing.

No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.

so true

Easy

Google “Francoeur” + “fail”.

Here are Pujols's stats: 1.000/1.000/4.000/5.000. That's right. He is batting a thousand, with a thousand OBP (naturally), and every hit has been a home run, and thus his OPS is a perfect 5.000.

Youtube Commenter:

“If frenchy can hit it to Copenhagen, Jason Heyward will be able to hit it to New Delhi, India.”

Totally wrong, if Frechy can hit to Copenhagen, then J-Hey, cant hit it around the world, and field it to throw himself out at home, but its an exact tie down to the millisecond and the world implodes.

That is exactly what happens. Except instead of world implosion it's world peace.

Too True

Several years ago my friend and I had an inside joke about three “superhuman” athletes and the increasingly ridiculous situations they would get themselves in and out of (this was before the Chuck Norris facts, mind you). The three were Sean Taylor, Jeff Francoeur, and Leonard Pope.

Years later, it’s a shame that the only one who actually deserved the praise isn’t around anymore.

Sean Taylor was a beast.

Indeed.

Now Frenchy’s a bit more suited for this gem from some Adam Eaton hate thread, which hypothesized an at bat in which Eaton faces Neifi Perez:

Perez swings at the first pitch — which is above his head — with a mammoth cut, thus tapping the ball back to Eaton. Eaton fumbles the pick up, whirls around, and fires the ball into RF. Perez circles second and heads for third, which Eaton, surprisingly, is backing up. The ball flies by third, and Eaton scoops it up while Perez races home. Eaton fires the ball home, only to watch in horror as the ball strikes Perez in the back of the helmet, knocking him unconscious just a few feet from home plate. Eaton runs towards the sprawled out Perez, does not see the ball, steps on it, breaks his ankle, and crumbles next to Perez, screaming in agony. The grounds crew is summoned, Perez and Eaton are escorted off the field to only God knows where, never to be heard from or seen again, and the game resumes. Witnesses to this bizarre event never speak of it again.

...still waiting for Minaya to sign Brad Hawpe as a defensive replacement...
