Have you ever wondered why Vladimir Guerrero is so potent in the RBI category?

Has his RBI success ever made you stare into the heavens and ask yourself "why?".

Well I have the answer.

I recently came back from my vacation to Anaheim where I was fortunate enough to watch two Angels-Jays games. While sitting in the bleachers eating my delightful jumbo-dog I couldn't help but notice a certain look on Vladimirs face as he stepped up to the plate.

What is that, I wondered? There were two men on, and 0 out. Why is he so excited? I looked into the Angels dugout only to find that Chone Figgins was no longer there, striking my curiousity in ways only Jessica Alba in a maxim magazine can.

I looked back just in time to see Vlad jack a shot into left field, much to the excitement of me and the crowd, and as I sat down I leaned over to my friend and mentioned "Vladdy the Daddy sure is hot right now". However, as Vlad ran around the bases I couldn't help but notice a certain look on his face as he ran the bases. It was a certain excitement. A certain... hunger.

I continued to enjoy the inning, but a few minutes later I noticed something odd; Gary Anderson and Casey Kotchman were missing! Obviously, the only explanation for this is that Vladimir was hungry for human flesh so he drove in Kotchman and Anderson because small Chone wasn't enough to fill his appetite! Fact: Vladimir ate Chone Figgins, Casey Kotchman, and Gary Anderson.

And to be honest with you, the rest of the Angels could learn a thing or two from him.
