Here's A Running Collection Of The Best Tim Anderson/Jose Ramirez Memes From Last Night's Fight
So Tim Anderson got his clock cleaned last night by Jose Ramirez. If I'm TA, I'm taking the next few mins allotted to me to speak to the media and saying, "yep, he got me. Stoned my ass". Ya know, ya just gotta straight up Papa Doc the entire baseball watching world:

Tim's not doing that, though. Instead, he's doing the opposite and deleting old tweets:
It's too late, but if I were in the clubhouse after the game last night, I'd tell him, "DO NOT DO THAT!!! Just embrace it!!!!" The entire world saw you go night night, just laugh at yourself with everyone. That's the only way to get this to blow over.
The memes, calls, video edits, and everything else that came out after the fight have been pretty gold, though, starting with the CLE announcer's call of the fight:
That was one of the greatest calls in sports history. The 1980 Olympics gold medal game, Kirk Gibson's World Series HR on one leg, Hawk Harrelson every single night, and the guy that made this call. Hang it in the Louvre!!!
This one also drew an audible guffaw out of me:

As did this one:
This one may be the best, but people watching that aren't from Chicago won't understand it. This is Howard Ankin. Howard Ankin is a personal injury attorney that any athlete in Chicago with a pulse does "Better Call Saul" quality commercials with. He's a local celeb for his commercials. Wonder if he'll rep TA pro bono???
Even real, actual boxing people got in on the action:
As well as classic wrestling announcer calls:
Then the internet just had its way:

In the end, it's gonna be TA, Jose Bautista and Robin Ventura as the 3 guys who will forever be meme'd into Bolivian for getting their jaws unhinged in baseball fights. Not too shabby a list!
In the end, one thing that came out of this fight was internet gold. It's also a good time to point out that if baseball wants to grow the game, they should have a fully uncut and unedited "Manning Cast" type deal where they mic the field/players and have two juiced up players from the 1990s calling the games and telling stories. Imagine Jason and (RIPIP) Jeremy Giambi calling this fight like the Manning brothers do?
That'd be asses in seats!!!
I'll add the best meme's as they come in to this blog
PS - In Ramirez' post game interview, he said TA tagged him too hard or something… yeah, no. I don't buy a single word anyone ever says in post game pressers, it's all typically bullshit, but TA didn't do anything wrong prior to the fight. At least not that the cameras caught. If he was jawing and Ramirez told him to fuck himself, that's one thing. In the end though if you square up and challenge someone to a fight, you just can't wear a hook that puts you out on your feet. Can't happen.
