2012 Mark Teixeira Performance Thread

Uppercut swings are all about HR and RBI`s............it is ..........what it is......add the gold glove and the HR`s and RBI`s and I`m OK with this man at 1st..........

[Blazer]

Are you having a problem hooking the ball to the right?

Actually for a RH hooks are left. Pushes are right which is what happens when the lower body releases too soon and the hands are stuck behind.

Slices to the right are a whole other matter. In the words of Judge Smails, "I never slice!".

real life?

Yep..

[JDPNYY]

Yep..

...couldn't hurt.

Tino should probably wear those whenever he talks.

Duct tape over his mouth would be even better.

I was hoping his New Years resolution would be "return to being an elite offensive player"

So you've got a $180 million contract -- I mean, I know your taxes just went up and all -- but is this silliness really worth it?

If that is a marketing play, he might want to proof read it. Not sure "Breathe Right" would approve of that tweet. Unless there's some mouthwash strip that is absorbed via nasal strips I'm unfamiliar with.

Oh, that's sad -- I didn't even read it closely. Was he actually trying to be funny?

I don't know...I suspect that if he had been trying to be funny, it would have been even worse. Larry Andersen or John Lowenstein he ain't.

I have no clue... honestly when I read it I just thought maybe he legitimately has an issue with respiration and perhaps has used these in non-game situations and it helped? I didn't think he was trying to be funny or was on that company's payroll. If either of those things are the case, he failed pretty badly at either.

[yanksphan]

... and it gets more weird.

[Chacon]

He's got to be trolling with that one

If his account hasn't been hijacked and he's trying to be funny, he needs to brush up a bit.

[teknetic]

Twitter accounts get "hacked" all the time. Look at his previous tweets and then those two.

Yup. Don't think it's Tex. All sites are vurnerable, as with this stunt: http://deadspin.com/yankees-facebook-hack/
