The Phillies are playing the Giants in a possible October preview on FOX this afternoon. And either FOX's scouting report about Cole Hamels is referring to Hamels' curveball, or someone in the FOX truck knows the Phillies pitcher far too intimately for comfort.
Cole Hamels Needs To ‘Drop A Deuce,’ According To FOX Scouting Report Graphic
That will get the Internet buzzing, yep. Spicing up the chyrons is a good way to get yourself noticed, of course, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the person(s) responsible for this bit of potty humor — oh, come on, who uses “drop a deuce” to mean “throw a really good curveball”? — is removed from that particular keyboard in the near future. (Sprint might not be happy to learn that its sponsorship is being used for grade school jokes, I suspect.)
On the bright side, this sense of humor might just help this guy find work somewhere else in television. Beavis and Butthead are returning to MTV this fall, after all.
