In Case any of you missed it or want to see it again, it was pretty funny... not the best quality though...

That guy's got an arm on him. We should hire him to be our closer.

What about Papelbon?

 

I say replace Tavares with the pizza guy.

You could, or move Pap to a starter, either way...

Nah he doesn't want to be a starter. Why make him unhappy?

 

Take out Tavares and put Pizza Man in the #5 slot.

[Optimist]

I love the commentary that goes with the clip.

 

"HERE COME THE PIZZA!"

"Highly unnecessary!"

"And of course he's been asked to leave the ballgame for wasting a good piece of pizza..."

 

Provided a much needed laugh.

i still say he was aiming at the outfielder and not the fan, what reason would he have to throw at another fan? i at least could understand throwing it at the opposing team

No he was definetly throwing it at the other fan. The guy that threw it was from Maine and their was a story in the paper this morning, the two fans were bickering at each other all game. The guy admitted to throwing it at the fan. If you watch the tape the Pizza was thrown directly at the guy.

Did you see the movement that pizza had on it? f*** Papelbon, this guy could be a star.

It was the Gyro-ball we have all been waiting for. I think its hilarious that they were actually discussing it seriously. They being (Thumper and TGOV).

I know he had great command over that slice. Good rotation, looked like a 12 to 6. Notice how it went up and into the guy's shoulder!

 

Okay so make Papelbon the #5 starter. Get Tavares the f*** out. And make Pizza Man the new closer.

i have to say thumper is a little bit crazy he really wants this damn pizza guy on are team

[Optimist]

The Yankees might want to make him an offer at this point...:dunno:

oh, it makes more sense if there was a story behind it. it just didnt make sense to me to throw at another sox fan. plus anderson was right next to the guy so i couldnt really tell who he was looking at.

[mar_022]

i just found it hilarious how big of a kick remy and orsillo got out of it. it was the topic of conversation for an entire inning

[schillingouttheks]

I would laugh so hard if in the middle of throwing an inning for the Yankees, he grabs a fan's piece of pizza and being the Sox fan he is, chucks it into A-Rod's face.

He must be a professional, because that Pizza was spinning as it was flipping.

No! I'm telling you that thing was a 12 to 6 curveslice.

 

Notice in the video the rotation as it breaks up but drops down on the guy's shoulder!

Bartman Part II .

[soxlife92]

only thing im wondering, is who was he aiming at?

The fan. They had an altercation earlier in the game. Apparently the pizza pitcher saw an opportinity to deliver the 12-6 Curver on the target's shoulder. Then he got ejected for hitting him.

It looks like the pizza has a bullet spin. It's got to be a Gyro Ball.
