Checking in with Aoki

I know, he is not a Brewer anymore, but the Brewer connection is enough to point out this unfortunately hilarious streak of bad luck. And it's all so, so GIF-worthy (click on the GIFs to play them).

First, a few weeks ago, came this "great" swing that Deadspin dubbed "the worst swing this season."

This one is not funny because taking a baseball to the head isn't funny, but the seemingly delayed reaction and the Hollywood-esque collapse to the ground at least lend a little levity to the situation.

Rough couple weeks. But oh those facial expressions -- just as wondrous as they are with still photos of plunkings.
