Who would win a fight between Chris Getz and Johnny Giavotella?
The scenario: Getz says that "Thanatopsis" was William Cullen Bryant's best poem, Giavotella insists that his best work was actually "Inscription for the Entrance to a Wood." Things deteriorate. So who wins the fight before Francoeur jumps in and reminds everyone "we're all on the same team here!"

In considering this scenario I feel it's important to remind everyone of Ned's quote about Johnny:
Johnny G by TKO in Round 1.

Second part of that Ned quote...
What? That was actually from Waterworld? What? I already made this joke once before? Piss off, these two quotes were made to live side by side.

Gio is Little Mac
Getz is Glass Joe

Getz is a well known sweater vester
Not Getz is most comfortable in a leather jacket, the sleeves of which have been dis-attached. On clothing choices alone, Not Getz is the heavy favorite.

Ass, too.

I think Johnny gets the job done
as long as he remembers to sweep the leg.
royaldaddy - February 18, 2012
Damn right
OUT of commission.

I will fight anyone who votes getz
royalyblued - February 18, 2012
I voted Getz
Just how big a boy are ya?
306008 - February 18, 2012
That would be a mistake
And I voted Getz, because he’s mistake-free.
cmkeller - February 20, 2012
Sorry guys....
This fight doesn’t even get done. They agree on split of money, catch weight, even where this fight happens, Then Gets realizes this fight is really about to happen then demands better than olympic style drug testing. Giavotella says “Insert excuse here” and backs out. both guys spend the next 2 or 3 years yapping about how the other “ducked” them.

Johnny
Is Italian and is extremely muscular for his size (listed 5’8" but he’s probably shorter, yet the same weight as Getz).
Also, Getz can barely hit a ball out of the infield. Johnny can hit home runs. When literal swinging of the fists takes place, who on earth would vote Getz?
Yodazilla - February 18, 2012
Getz
will use his superior speed to run away from Johnny. After 18 miles, Johnny finally gets tired and Getz takes him down due to his exhaustion. Getz wins.

Getz fights mistake free.
Just like Walker Texas Ranger.

There is NO baseball site...
that uses the phrase ‘shouldering considerable ennui’ anywhere, much less to describe the weakness of a player fighting for a roster spot. Thank you, Will and RR, in general.
setupunchtag - February 18, 2012
Yeah, and if anyone sbould be shouldering ennui on this team
It should be Butler. He’s a DH. Ennui comes with the territory. Also, he has bigger shoulders.
thelaundry - February 19, 2012
I think the correct answer for this scenario...
…is Carl Crawford.
Tracer Bullet 82 - February 18, 2012
wow this really has been a long, slow off season hasn't it.
how long till pitchers and catchers report???
DickHowser4ever - February 18, 2012
Who cares?
With stuff like this!
hawkinscm87 - February 18, 2012
wow
no love for Getz
Freneau - February 18, 2012
I'm pretty sure he wears a bow-tie around the house.
You can’t vote for that.
Old Man Duggan - February 18, 2012
Don't know why...
By the looks of the pic you posted, he’d have six friends having his back…

Gio would knock his ass out, but this fight nevers happens.
Getz is a lover not a fighter-GB
mitchfreakingmaier! - February 18, 2012
Hence the reason gio would knock his ass put
Out
