Let’s All Laugh At Michael Bourn For Going To The Bathroom During A Game

Well, it’s not so much that he went to the bathroom — during a three hour game, everybody must do that. It’s that he made it briefly impossible for play to continue because of his urgent needs. This is the true human element in the game of baseball.

Michael Bourn plays center field for the Braves, which means that when he’s not out there, it leaves a pretty sizable hole. Thankfully for Atlanta, instead of simply starting to play, everyone looked around and wondered, hey, where’s Mike (assuming they call him Mike)? Oh, there he is:

Luckily for us, Mike continues to buckle his pants as he heads out of the dugout, assuring himself a place in the 2012 blooper reel. Smiles all around, so at least nobody was upset that this three hour baseball game was going to go at least another minute thanks to Mike’s call from nature.

There’s another angle to this that hasn’t been discussed, another possible explanation for Mike’s tardiness and appearance. But frankly, I don’t even want to say it. But how come nobody else has? I mean, baseball isn’t the most exciting sport, but you never know. Everybody’s got kinks.
