The fun starts 25 seconds in, when Harold Reynolds takes to a stool on MLB Net's giant Secaucus field of dreams. Byrnes is there to explain what Rockies left fielder Charlie Blackmon should have done to the nuisances in the Cubs bullpen who obstructed him on a pop-up. Reynolds is his prop. Byrnes blindsides him like ESPN HR would. More »

Byrnes has slipped nicely into the cleanup spot for his beer league softball team, going 2-for-3 with two home runs in his second game last night. And unlike his last gig in Seattle, napping during games is encouraged. [PRO Rumors] More »

In sports, everyone is a winner - some people just win better than others. Like a California beer league softball team, which will have the services of the former major leaguer, without having to pick up that $11m contract. More »

Everyone wants a piece of Gordon Beckham. And by everyone, I mean, of course, the throngs of Chicago women wearing his T-shirt jersey and his fellow big leaguers who are copping his swoon-worthy at-bat music. More »

Look closely the next time Eric Byrnes steps in the batter's box. Focus in on his face, examine his mouth. Do you see it? Um no, I refuse to do this. Next question? More »

The Diamondbacks are still working hard to market Eric Byrnes as the funny, freewheeling surfer dude who just happens to play baseball for $10 mil a year. Thus we have The Eric Byrnes Show, which is carried on FSN Arizona. A recent promotion for the show proves that it may be more entertaining than Dbacks games themselves, as Byrnes and Conor Jackson get their Starsky and Hutch on in a remake of the Beastie Boys Sabotage video. "It doesn't have to be this way!" Video following the jump. More »

We haven't heard much from Diamondbacks outfielder Eric Byrnes in the offseason, but we can only guarantee it was something EXTREME AND WHOLLY UNPREDICTABLE! ZIGGITY SWISH! He's back this year, and his Diamondbacks were among the first to be drug tested. Byrnes is absolutely comfortable with the process, even if it means a stranger's prying eyes on his yambag. More »
]]> http://deadspin.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=362782&view=rss&microfeed=true Maybe it's because Eric Byrnes is just too IN YOUR FACE for the studio. Maybe Fox Sports is afraid his energy and enthusiasm could, at any given moment, blow away Jeanne Zelasko's carbon-fiber wig. Either way, the Arizona Diamondbacks centerfielder, who plays analyst when his team no longer plays baseball, will report on the All-Star game from a kayak in McCovey Cove outside the stadium. EXTREME! [The Smittblog] More »
]]> http://deadspin.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=275962&view=rss&microfeed=true So let's get this straight: Eric Byrnes shows up to the set of a national televised broadcast looking like this, and he thinks people aren't going to talk about how stupid he looks? More »

All right, so we understand that it's kind of cool to be able to active athletes on your studio preview shows during the postseason, because they're not playing anymore and don't have much to do. The Blue Jays' Vernon Wells was on a couple of days ago, and we enjoyed him, though it was odd to watch Peter Gammons — Christ, it's so good to have that guy back — talk about how much money Wells is going to make as a free agent this offseason as Wells sat there, doing everything he could to resist the urge to do cartwheels.

In truth, Kellia Ramares is dangerously obsessed. The middle-aged woman from Berkeley, Calif. has an unlikely fixation on Diamondbacks outfielder Eric Byrnes, in a way that prompted us recently to purchase an extra deadbolt for our back door, for no real tangible reason, just because. But as Ramares herself points out, she has absolutely nothing on Buck Canyon. More »

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Eric Byrnes may have thought he was being more or less inconspicuous while watching the Maverick's Surf Contest just south of San Francisco on Tuesday, but hey, our spies are everywhere these days, even at the beach in February. Byrnes, an avid surfer who has a home near the contest site in the California coastal town of Half Moon Bay, was on hand to watch South African Grant Baker win the competition at Pillar Point, a former top-secret area which is now Northern California's most famed big-wave surf break.

In reading Down the Left Field Line; Life, Baseball and Eric Byrnes, we felt kind of the same way we did when seeing Fatal Attractionfor the first time. A little sorry for the rabbit and ultimately glad that Glenn Close didn't have our address. More »
