Grind it?

This is plain bizarre:
Two years ago, the Red Sox rallied themselves in the regular season with the phrase, "Cowboy Up" which appeared on T-shirts worn by every player in the final months of the year.

Jorge Posada created his own rallying cry for the 2005 Yankees, distributing shirts to his teammates on Friday that read, "Grind it."

The back of the shirts read, "There is no trying. There is only doing or not doing."

Posada handed the shirts out in the clubhouse before Friday night's game. (Link)
Firstly, converting Yoda's "Do, or do not. There is no try." line back into fully grammatical English sounds odd.

And, um, "Grind it"? When I hear the phrase all I can think about is MTV's craptacular "The Grind", and then there are these workout tapes:

Grind It


That is one of the more frightening photoshops I have ever seen. Please do not do that again.


YeAAARRRGGGGHHH!

*brain explodes*

*is quite dead*

*remaining body parts explode further simply from being in presence of Posada photoshop*

Also, 'Grind it'? That sounds either worryingly sexual, or like a reference to skateboarding.

With compliments....,.


Heh. I love Photoshop.


oh yes....Cowboy up is considered an intelligent statement I suppose. What the hell does THAT mean? Cowboy up...? Sounds rather gay
