This Week in Twitter (T.W.I.T.): Getting one last laugh out of Jason Kendall
So, as you've probably heard, Jason Kendall signed a two year contract with the Royals over the weekend, and shortly thereafter, the #jasonkendallfacts hashtag on Twitter was born. The movement can probably be largely attributed to Keith Law, but dozens of people have weighed in with their own Jason Kendall Facts. Here are a few of my favorites:
@matthewrjohnson Jason Kendall once collaborated with 50 Cent to make the hit song G.I.D.P.
@themattgalloway Jason Kendall collects more soft singles than the average full-time stripper.
@voteformelhuse 3/3 Molina brothers agree that Jason Kendall is the easiest catcher in MLB to steal off of.
@themattgalloway Jason Kendall is the reason Peter Gammons is leaving ESPN. He just couldn't stand covering him anymore.
@keithlaw Nihilism: The belief that life is just a series of Jason Kendall at bats.
@hardbraun Jason Kendall has infield fly rule power.
@juristblog Jason Kendall has never used performance-enhancing drugs - according to an ad campaign for performance-enhancing drugs.
@atmeiller Shaves with a cheese grater, and towels off with sand paper. #GRIT
@djpeck21 Jason Kendall is the inspiration for 2 cereals: Kendall Krunch and Cinnamon Toast Suck
@keithlaw Brian Wilson saw Jason Kendall hit and wouldn't get out of bed for a year.
@jposnanski Pujols, Mauer, Ichiro, Holliday and Jeter all have higher BATTING AVERAGES than JK's SLG PCT since 2005
@kevin_goldstein Spent some time looking for a reason to be contrarian and justify the Jason Kendall signing in light of the #JasonKendallFacts -- I failed.
@dempseysarmy Everytime Zack Greinke looks in for a sign, he will ruefully mutter "I can't believe this shit."
@markelderallen In wake of "transgressions," Royals GM Dayton Moore pleads for "privacy for the Royals family to have time to heal"
@abpow Someone watching Jason Kendall bat was the inspiration for Edward Munch's "The Scream"
@keithlaw Jason Kendall has so little power that when the Royals signed him, all the lights in Kansas City went out.
@robneyer Jason Kendall will not be the worst hitter in the Royal lineup.

Kendall got a two year deal...
Got to give him credit for that. I just wish he was in the NL

"One last laugh"
He’s playing 2 years in KC…we’ll get plenty more laughs. It’s going to be funny, because he won’t be playing for us.

Lucky for Kendall he’s joining a team with Yuniesky Betancourt on it. He makes Kendall look like Joe Mauer.
Ryan Braun: He loves it.

It would be cool if the Royals came to MKE during interleague play in 2011
Of course Kendall would hit for the cycle for the series or something equally improbable then.

Jason Kendall is such a gritty team player that he ran a reverse train on the women in the Better than Ezra video, “Juicy.”

Tim McCarver style analysis
As good as Jason Kendall is at looking like a serial killer, thats how bad he is at baseball
"That's not a weird stat. Rickie is a run-scorer," Yost said. "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter," Yost told reporters. "See, you guys have no concept. He's a run-scorer. So there's nothing weird about it. That's what he does."

So little power
That the bat swings him – which explains all the HBP.
