For your weekend, BSG breaks down the red-hot San Diego Padres, gives a stance-analysis of their lineup, and makes the argument for PETCO Park being the kid-friendliest place in all of Major League Baseball. What more could you want? It’s the 2010 Padres. Enjoy!

From the way things have started out there, whoever comes outta the NL West this year is gonna have to win a fight. Will it be the Rockies? Gammonds and Reynolds like em, but does BSG? He got an inside look at the rocky mountain boys last year, but, as usual, it’s the lineup that interests him most. And for our daily reader Don Baylor, he’s got a couple suggestions on how to manage your hitters. It’s the 2010 Rockies.

Aubrey Huff’s inside-the-park HR yesterday put the capper on the Giants’ hot start to the 2010 season. BSG will miss the presence of Carney Lansford on the SF coaching staff, but he loves the stances he leaves behind. Sandoval, Velez, Rowand – all gold. Will this treasure trove of batter’s box goodness have the hits to go with the rotation? If so, get ready for alot of Tony Bennett AT&T Park. Enjoy!

The hits just keep on coming. Today BSG’s got your 2010 Dodgers. They’ve got it all, divorce scandals, celebrity fans, and of course, just to keep things sane, Manny. BSG’s putting this team on the fans shoulders though. He loves LA. Do you?

Well folks we’re just 5 days out from Opening Day, and we hope you’re as excited as BSG is for the start of the season. Thankfully, the offseason gave him a chance to heal from leg injuries incurred while imitating San Francisco Giant Eugenio Velez. A word to the wise, stretch first. Filmed last year for G-Mag, here’s BSG with Velez, the Panda, and the rest of the feel-good 09 Giants. Enjoy!

We’re gonna go out on a limb and say the Dodgers take the NL West. So to help get folks in a LA state of mind for the postseason, here’s a little gem from 2006. Back to Back to Back to Back, and then Nomar walked off. Sure, only Martin remains, but we think this bunch still has what it takes. Enjoy!

“That’s more Hollywood than Hollywood, that’s Mannywood.” Truer words have never been spoken.

There comes a point in a man’s life when he has to be comfortable with big, athletic, grown men vigorously stretching in a circle around him while he does goofy little impressions of them and their colleagues for amusement. The court jester lives by one rule: keep the court laughing. Fortunately for us the Rockies all have pretty good senses of humor. Whew. Enjoy!

You asked for the kung fu panda, and you got em. Check out Pablo Sandoval and the rest of BSG’s favorite stances in the NL West, in the second weekly installment of the hit show that’s sweepin’ the nation, Batting Stance Guy’s “Who to Watch.” Enoy!

The winner of this week’s video poll, and the first of many FSN/BSG Classic Moments we’ll be sharing with you here on the site, is none other than the Kirk Gibson’s game winning HR off Dennis Eckersley in Game 1 of the 1988 World Series. It’s all there folks, the Magnum PI staches, the fist pumps, Tommy Lasorda’s gut, it’s really just as good as it gets. To make things extra fun, we’ve included the original footage. See if you can tell em apart. Here’s a hint, in the real game they used a ball. Enjoy!

This week, the world tour has BSG visiting Coors Field in beautiful Denver, CO. So make your way over to the ballpark tonight to check him out live, in the flesh, as he performs stances for the players and the Rockies’ faithful. Also, tune into the FSN Rocky Mountain pre-game show to catch him on the air. And if that’s just not enough BSG for you in one day, be sure to check out today’s Denver Post article. Over-exposure, here we come!
Update – 7/24/09: Photos from the night.

There’s really no good reason Manny Ramirez should ever be chasing a wiffle ball bat for someone, we don’t know why he did it for us, but he did. Thanks Manny. The AP says what this is better than we could. “Gar Ryness is known as the ‘Batting Stance Guy’. He does impressions of major leaguers in their batting stances. Dodgers outfielder Manny Ramirez loved his mimickry.” “Loved” is a relative term. Enjoy.

You know, it’s true what they say, everything does sound better with a Dominican accent. Or maybe it’s just that we’re suckers for praise from Manny Ramirez. Either way, if you’ve ever wondered what the Dodgers slugger’s laugh sounds like, we’ve got it in abundance. Enjoy!
