Manny and his Halloween

Oh Manny. Why would I not be suprised if Manny tried to go trick or treating a day later? And why would I not be suprised if he ends up at Mike Lowell's door or at least David Ortiz' door? Why is he a ducky? Because I did too many BATMANNNG ones, so I thought him as a duckie would be cute. Also, it works because I did one with Manny acting like a duck in the rain back in June. It's just Manny being Manny, man. :)

Red Sox Halloween: Losing Bets

This has a bit of a storyline behind it. I have these two dressed like this as more of a "they lost a bet" kinda deal. For Schill, now we've seen him as Wonder Woman before in these artpads, so I did it again because mehh I was lazy. Now him and Belli had a bet about what song of Michael Jackson was Manny Delcarmen as. Schill thought it was from "Beat It" while Belli had the correct response. Now if Belli had lost, he would've went as Roseanne. As for Poor Tim Wakefield over there, him and Timlin had a little bet about who'd win the WS. Wakey liked the Tigers' chances but Timlin thought the Cards would finally pull it out, but also because he was biased. Now if he lost, he would've dressed as a Vegas Showgirl. But he won, so Wakey is Carmen Miranda.

And these are the things that run through my mind while I'm driving

Red Sox Halloween: WTF?!

To be honest, I was being a jerk w/ the Cora one. I love the guy to death, but he has huge ears. So I decided to play up on that. I went with Fievel because Fievel is adorabler than Dumbo and Mighty Mouse. Also, I think Cora's kids would so have him be Fievel if they could. So it works out. As for Lowell, that one was completely random. He looks like a pimp more than Liberace though. But that's fine by me. I just randomly put Lowell as Liberace and hte mental image was too good to not do up. That's the way I roll, ya'll.

Red Sox Halloween: Musicians

Coco Crisp going as Prince kinda just randomly came to me. Originally I was gonna deem Manny Del(it was between the King of Pop, Prince, and Timlin) as Prince, but Thriller, dude! So I thought of Coco Crisp dressing up like Prince. And well, the thought of Coco in eyeliner, I must admit, is kinda hot. So he's Prince. No assless pants, though I wouldn't fully object to that :) As for Timlin as Ted Nugent: They both hunt, wear lots of camo, and are batshit insane. Of COURSE Timlin is gonna go as Nugent. The Nuge is like his brother from another mother. Seriously.

Red Sox Halloween: Hero Worship

I love drawing and writing about the younger players on the team. They're the funnest to do because I think of them as wide eyed children just amazed at the world around them. This is one of the examples why. Now Wily Mo Pena is dressed as Big Papi because, quite frankly, he wants to be Big Papi. I imagine him with Big Papi footy pajamas cuddling a stuffed Papi(seriously, the Red Sox are sittign on a goldmine here) while watching a tape of the 2004 ALCS. As for Paps, he is Timlin, who has quite a cult following of youngsters that relaly look up to him. I would've had Manny Del here in this spot(given he seems to have a bit of a mancrush on Timlin) but I couldn't pass up Manny Del as Michael Jackson. So Paps gets the honor. I think of Paps and Timlin as a sort of father/son kinda dynamic. And Papel is all "I wanna be like my dad...I mean teammate Mike!" I mean he dresses like him in some instances, so just being him would be second nature! Oh and I had to do the helmet flip, or as my friend Nikole puts it "Ejecto Helmet!"

Red Sox Halloween: The Catchers

This is about Tek and Belli. Tek is Crash Davis form Bull Durham because....well...dude, if he HASN'T been Crash Davis for Halloween then I will be very disappointed in him. Also, it's his favorite movie and I hear he knows it verbatim. He had to be that. As for Belli as a Ghostbuster, I have this thought in my mind that Doug Mirabelli beneath that whole tough guy, stud who hits bombs, egotistical persona is a young teenaged boy just yearning to be a Ghostbuster. So needless to say, I had to do that one up. Though whenever I think of Ghostbusters I more think of a young me at age 2 jumping on the couch when I'd hear the theme song and yelling out "GHOST GA-GA's!" I was a strange child.

A Red Sox Halloween: The Youngins

This one is basically featuring Jon Lester(hoping for a full recovery, regardless of how long it may take) and Manny Delcarmen. Now the Manny one was inspired by a mental image I had while hearing "Thriller" in the car on my way to school. Let's just say I'm never gonna listen to taht song ever again w/o thinking of Manny Delcarmen dancing to it. As for Lester as the Hamburglar. That kinda just was random. For some reason I can see him being the Hamburglar. *shrugs shoulders*
