I'm guessing about 10 minutes into this research you realized the joke was on you.

Reminds of this party I went to during college.  And that's all I remember of the party that I'll share.

She worked the New Kids in there, too.  Given this and the absolutely innocuous/incorrect nature of the premise, I am suggesting ulterior motives here.

I bet you went to their concert here in Houston a couple months back.  Admit it, you went.

And that in turn reminded me of Bad Boys II.

Shit just got real.

On a topical note...I guess I didn't realize McCutchen was so young.  When he learns to stop swinging and missing so much...look out.

The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

He'll probably get traded to the Cubs. For Zambrano.

When I first read her post, I had no idea WTF Fredia was talking about, as usual.  Normally I would've just kept going, but I had been struck previously by how young some of the Pirates key players were (Walker is only a year older than McCutcheon), and decided to check it out.

I should have just kept going, though.

To be fair, you weren't the only one whose BS light went on.  The Piroots age was a common theme last year for lazy sportswriters.

Wonder if anyone besides me skimmed her post too quickly and thought she typed "hummus."
