Calcaterra: Bieber Fever coming to World Series

If three minutes of bubblegum pop makes even a couple thousand new baseball fans, I for one will be happy to endure it.

But will Washington get Bieber into the game before Neftali Feliz?

He was actually OK on his SNL appearance last year - not the music, but his appearance in a skit with Tina Fey. He seemed like he had the ability to laugh at himself a bit.

One of these days, in honor of Elvis Andrus, I hope the Rangers bring in Elvis Costello to sing "Take Me Out To The Ballgame."

I just found out about a month ago that this kid's name is not Justin Beaver - which I thought was a marvelously subversive name for a fey teen heartthrob.

I'd rather see Elvis Presley.

Don't leave the decision to Washington...He might bring in Elvis Grbac.

6. Tripon Posted: October 29, 2010 at 09:10 PM (#3679589)

Damn you, I posted this story too!

Craig, what have you done?

In a recent issue of US Magazine, it was revealed that Bieber will have a line of nail polish in WALMART stores by December. Okay, anything for a buck, I guess.

I wish I could find that hard to believe, but after watching two teenage girls flip out over a post of him in an art supply store, I have no doubt they'll be big sellers. Ick.

Its not just the teenage girls, its the moms who would probably risk jail to #### JBiebs.

This.

Stay classy, Washington.

Never saw him seduce MILFs.

12. Craig Calcaterra Posted: October 29, 2010 at 11:11 PM (#3679659)

Craig, what have you done?

Put you in the same Bieber-centric universe my daughter has put me. You're welcome.

The main thing I can't figure out is why he's considered hot by teenage girls. If that look is hot, I should have been all the rage in high school!

If that's what you look like, the junior high school world is now your oyster.

Aw, man. I thought you guys were better than that. I hope somebody mentions Pavement soon just to bring back some respectability to this thread.

16. base ball chick Posted: October 30, 2010 at 12:52 AM (#3679699)

i can't figure out why he's hot neither. maybe it is because he looks like he's maybe 12 and i ain't no prevert

even if he was old enuf, if i was gonna go have me a white boy, it sure nuff wouldn't be him

17. McCoy Posted: October 30, 2010 at 02:38 AM (#3679733)

But could Justin Bieber have been able to invade Britain? That is what all the girls want to know.

18. Drew (Primakov, Gungho Iguanas) Posted: October 30, 2010 at 03:34 AM (#3679753)

ARRRGH! MY BURNING EVERYTHINGS!

19. Bhaakon Posted: October 30, 2010 at 05:58 AM (#3679790)

Pfft, I had that haircut before it was cool.

20. Fred Lynn Nolan Ryan Sweeney Agonistes Posted: October 30, 2010 at 06:49 AM (#3679795)

21. GotowarMissAgnes Posted: October 30, 2010 at 01:05 PM (#3679827)

Hate to tell you this, but the cool kids HATE Bieber. Totes.

It's a pity Elvis died so soon, his Pavement cover album could have been a classic.

23. Olaf Posted: October 30, 2010 at 03:29 PM (#3679893)

According to (unconfirmed!) rumors, BB Chick, Justin is "big for his age"....

24. Gonfalon Bubble Posted: October 30, 2010 at 03:44 PM (#3679902)

If only for the medley of "Blue Hawaii" and "Blue Hawaiian."

Ahh, yes...if only to hear him slur through "In the Mouth a Dessert".

If I learned anything from growing up, it is that high school girls love guys that look like junior high girls.

27. base ball chick Posted: October 30, 2010 at 08:01 PM (#3679993)

ned
