Happy Angry Valentine's Day From Jennifer Garner

By Bryan Alexander Posted Feb 14th 2010 03:28PM

Jennifer Garner's ferocious attack on an anti-Valentine's Day pinata was more than the high point of "Valentine's Day." For many, it summed up their frustation with this Hallmark holiday.

The star was even asked to reprise the anger live on the 'George Lopez Show,' where she said Valentine's Day can be "an obnoxious holiday" before beating the stuffing out of another heart-shaped pinata.

However, Garner insists that past Valentine's Day aggression was not part of the scene's preparation. During the movie's press junket, Garner said she had professional baseball on her mind when she shot the baseball bat scene.

"I like a batting cage as much as the next girl," she said of her preparation.

The wife of Red Sox-crazy Ben Affleck listed some of the players she channeled during that moment.

"I was going for a (Kevin) Youkulis thing more than a (Mike) Lowell thing," she said of the Red Sox players. "I'd like to be compared to Papi (slugger David Ortiz), but he had an off year."

"I would say Manny (Ramirez), but he's not here anymore." Translation: Ramirez no longer plays for the Red Sox; he's a Dodger

Well, it was a Hall of Fame swing either way.

I wish there was a grinch that would destroy Valentines Day. Just when your recovering from the cost of Christmas, they stick you again. Many men subdue to this fearing they won't get laid again until next fall.

MeMe-your name says it all. leave it to some stupid teabagger to bring up something totally irrelevant in a good natured article. won't you folks ever quit...or at least pay attention?

By wha?

I mean how did this article even get political? But if Sarah Palin was in the same situation -- and Lord knows with that husband she probably has had her share of heartbreak on Valentine's Day -- she would have to read her "Swing Bat" hand notes before doing anything.

I'd ask for a TEABAG pinata, but that would not be hairy and not for a family website

Well, Susan, leave it to an idiot radical left-wing liberal nutcase like you to be so insulted over someone wanting to swing a bat at an Acorn pinata. LOL

My last note to my Beloved... I kept my word and hope that wherever you were last night, you felt special, for a few moments. There were no stars to be seen and the sky was spitting snow, but I knew the stars were there. They were simply hidden by the clouds. Such as it is with faith.

All this fuss about Garner, a minor supporting actress in "Felicity" and married to Aflak does not make her important.

Jen is awesome with or without the bat and S.C i don't know if you've owned a TV after 1993 but she's hardly a "minor supporting actress" anymore.

This might have been the worst movie I've ever seen. Did anyone else notice in the scene when Jennifer Garner is talking to her students, right before Ashton's first attempt to tell her that her boyfriend is married, she is reading from a book and says the word "protron". Instead of proton. Did anyone even edit this movie?
