This comes to us via the frontpage of SI.com. We’d go back and look for this moment in the game tape, but we are afraid that the action shot will prove this missed high-five is not BJ Upton’s fault. And we don’t want to live in a world where something is not Upton’s fault.
Let’s start the bidding at: “Even Tiger Woods Thinks This Is Awkward”
What you got?

Ha. I don’t think he missed though. If u watch the tape I’m pretty sure u hear the connection. He gave a short but powerful gangsta high five. Roll the tape.
Even Yogi can’t come up with an “ism” for this.
Hey BJ can you get this booger off of my finger?
Pinky Swear Five!
“Hey Sean, pinkie promise we’ll get some ice cream after this?”
And by touching this pressure point you nullify your ability to think for yourself. Believe me, it comes in handy.
What the hell?! I only asked you to pull my finger!
They have revealed the secret handshake! Tell the master — they must be destroyed!
BJ thats not the way we do “high 5″ now a days!
BJ Upton mistakes Sean Rodriguez’ hand for a fastball, whiffs.
Winner
This one gets my vote!!
I forfeit. You win.
It’s not a missed high-five, it’s a secret handshake.
“Now, stick out your pinkie…a little more…little more….little more…there ya go! Hook ‘em, ‘Horns!”
It’s the “neighborhood play” – a high five that avoids injury.
Damn, Sean, is that all you got? Look how big MINE is!
BJ- “I bet i can get picked off”
Sean- “Your on”
BJ – think only reason i am making this lame attempt is because they caught me last month blowing off jaso’s high five attempt.
the ball just sliced right off of cervillis head like this.
Reason #1 why B.J. will never be able to achieve Carl’s level of excellence:

Shawn and BJ’s attempt to activate their Wonder Twin powers goes horribly wrong.
