Even Wedge finds Kawasaki hilarious

On last night's tagup by Kawasaki


"I expected that. The contact play was on, so I knew as soon as it was hit he'd be busting it. That's why as soon as it was hit, I was screaming, like everyone else was, to get back. Which he did. It was funny as hell when I watched it on the tape. He went back and pushed off and went the other way. The kid in right (Ryan Raburn) got off a good throw. He made a heck of a hook slide. You don't see that much anymore. That's a heck of a way to win a big-league ball game, I'll tell you that much."

I laughed too, when I saw the slo-mo replay. I like Kawasaki. I hope he gets more playing time. I loved watching clips of him taking BP in spring training and yelling "GO BASEBALL!" at the ball after making contact. Hearing about him running wind sprints between innings and playing pepper before games makes it really hard to dislike the guy.
