Therefore, I’m going to say some really asinine things about a great baseball moment.

My first ever game I went to see is when Pudge hit a home run vs. the Angels at home and I’ll never forget that day.

It was cool and Pudge & Young carried it off well. And yeah, Pudge be cool.

The baseball game played after the lame rehearsed ceremony with that skinny dude. Wow, pretty sudden weight loss there “Pudge”.

It’s not like the article was an overview of pudges career, or even about how after 21 years, he speaks English so poorly, and then just mentioned the “new twist”. Nope, the article was written to report the new, groundbreaking activity undertaken by pudge. (who by the way, i consider myself a fan of)

Exactly. Would have been more accurate had the headline said something about pudge throwing a laser beam to second instead.

Because the artical states it was “a NEW spin”, which it isn’t.

At the ‘last minute’ they switched to their normal second base/first base positions and went from there.

Also, why didn’t the Rangers give him a REAL, fitted hat? Instead, Pudge went out there sporting a cheap, adjustable hat.
