[kweimer1]

Sorry guys that was the fairest way I could think of at the time...was going to have you dig for random information on our site (like an online scavenger hunt)but didnt want to infringe on what this board is all about...you have all been around way longer then me around here.

 

[theotherai9]

^^Nah it's cool man. Just some friendly talk.

 

[theotherai9]

I've really been feelin' Chipper's Mizuno gear since last season.
*Note* Rockies released Marcus Giles

 

[strikeone92]

good work on the cleats guys!

The 2K5's look very good this year.

 

[Sinner]

Props to the cleat generosity in here...

 

[pipes20]

sorry to change the subject but that is such a picture perfect swing from Chipper

 

[kweimer1]

Alright guys I need to get some shameless self promotion in here...can cover it up by saying "check out the PE's on the players shown"though...

Everyone remember those infomercials that seem to play during every commercial when watching a game on tv...check out our versions....

Harball Made Easy with Ron Stilanovich

Cannot even begin to tell you how much fun these were to film

Annoying self promotion over...

Ah hell nah!!!

Dude who wrote these. It's been while since i've some baseball comedy that was actually good. It's usually corny stuff but this %*+# is funny and Ilove how they incorporated the athletes.

Great stuff. I'm sure it was fun to film.

 

[swingmanike]

I love the matt kemp one.

Dude you can tell the athletes had fun with this.

"Always great working with you and the kids Ron. (pauses looks at the cue card). You are a freaking legend in my personal (looks at it again), I'm notgoing to say that."
- Matt Kemp

Dude I just need to quote these

Are the kids really getting hit because it sure looks like they are? If not they did a good job making it look like they did.

 

[formerly scarface81]

They're getting hit with white tennis balls

It's pretty hilarious

 

[kweimer1]

These were a blast to film.

We wrote the original script and then wound up changing lots of one-liners throughout the say...tried to use every corny cliche baseball line we could think of"frozen ropes" etc.

The balls used for the scenes where they were hit were those mini stress relieving balls that they sell at the car wash/gas station/etc.

Matt Kemp, Andre Ethier, Brad Hawpe, and Carlos Zambrano were all great about the two days it took to film everything...had a lot of fun and are having a goodtime showing the videos around the clubhouses...if you check out the videos on the YouTube site be sure to post your comments.

Now back to your regularly scheduled shoe watching...

Here is the logo we are using for all of Matt "The Bison" Kemp's footwear and batter's gloves...

 

[formerly scarface81]

I did both Kemp and Hanley logos...Hurray for me...

 

[swingmanike]

that's a cool logo also digging the ramirez one.
Good job scarface.

Do you guys work together?

 

[formerly scarface81]

Unfortunately...Yes

 

[fear the mongolian chop]

Good job on the logo design Formerly Scarface81! How many of the players currently have their own logo?

 

[swingmanike]

Well easton guys great job with the products the company has been on the come up and hopefully the masses are noticing. Keep us informed the pics are veryappreciated.



Aside from easton.



I've noticed Mike Sweeney has always been treated well by nike since his days with KC.

Here are some trainers, and some cleats.

We can fix that very easily...
In the mean time here is a shot of Ben Zobrist's TPU's....Hanley Ramirez and Matt Kemp are the only two of our guys that have custom logos atthis time.

Here's a question for all you cleat-heads out there...

What happened to Puma? They haven't released a new cleat in a few years, and the only MLB player I can think of who's still wearing Puma cleats isJohnny Damon. Just about everybody else that I can think of (Tim Hudson, Kevin Youkilis, Mike Timlin, and a bunch of others) have switched to other brands. Iwas never a huge fan of the models they put out, but it's just strange that they've suddenly disappeared from the MLB within the past year (with theexception of Damon).

Anybody?

I cant recall seeing anyone other than Damon rockin them this spring. I have a pair of black/orange puma turfs that I wear at the baseball camp I work atduring the summer and they are the most comfortable turfs Ive ever worn. I never wore their cleats but I always thought that if I ever switched from Nike/JBthat I would try Puma.

 

[fear the mongolian chop]

Good question Marky! I didn't actually realize how many MLBers DON'T wear Puma until you brought it to my attention. Barry Zito was a big Puma guybut he too is now wearing Mizuno.

I'm looking on Eastbay right now and they have a lot of models but nothing special as far as design is concerned. Maybe they realize that they can'twin in the baseball market. Nike, Reebok and Adidas are all big with Easton and Under Armour all making huge strides.


*EDIT*

DUH! How could I forget that Miguel Batista wears puma cleats. I see this overpaid guy pitch every 5 days so I should have remembered.

Brian Roberts in Huarache 2k5's

Daniel Cabrera in Huarache 2k4's in what looks to have orange stitching around the toe area. Can anyone confirm this?

Chris Roberson in PE 5-tools

Jeremie Guthrie in PE Huarache 2k5's. Not sure how I feel about these....

Gary Sheffield in a turf version of his cleats

 

[kweimer1]

Puma is out of the Baseball business...Damon was signed to a 4 year deal in 2006 with Puma that included a Ferrari that Puma gave to Damon as part of theagreement.

My guess is that it wouldnt have made sense to buy him out of the contract that they had and they just didnt resign any of their existing players when theirdeals were up....just an educated guess though.

 

[strikeone92]

Roberts's 2K5's match real nice

 

[fear23]

Kweimer...is Easton looking at any Yankees to sign..like Cano, who I think would be a great signing for you guys.

I just saw pics of UNC rockin some crazy white/carolina blue Air Fuses. I cant figure out how to attach the pics but you go to the photo gallery on this pagehttp://tarheelblue.cstv.com/sports/m-basebl/recaps/032608aaa.html#
If you click on other galleries and go to the UNC/VT gallery, Va Tech has some sick 2K5 action
