News Anchor Suggests Kate Upton as Reason for Verlander’s All Star Game Poor Performance (video)

Found July 17, 2012 on IntheOT:
PLAYERS: Kate Upton,  Justin Verlander
TEAMS: Detroit Tigers
82034551

Many baseball fans were left asking questions as to why the AL starting pitcher Justin Verlander struggled giving up 5 runs in his one inning of work en route to an 8-0 loss. The easy answer that most people are providing is going straight to the rumours of him recently going out with Kate Upton. If that is actually the case I can’t say that I blame him as it would be very easy to become distracted thinking about her instead of a useless pathetic meaningless all star game.

Local Fox Minnesota News Channel KMSP also happens to believe that is the case. During a news telecast over the weekend a very funny blooper occurred due to this. When speaking of Upton the video footage that came on the TV screen was the famous Kate Upton Cat Daddy Video. This left the news anchor lost for words, stumbling all over the place, check out the comedy:

Yup that’s what Kate Upton does to people when she appears on the screen. Everyone is in awe and are often left dumbfounded looking for words.

If the rumours are true about Verlander he is one lucky man. The Tigers on the other hand they may not be as this could be a problem in the final months of the seasons if he really does became distracted by her.

The Tigers try to continue their 2nd-half surge with a 4-game series against the redundantly named Los Angeles Angels.  The series will feature neither Justin Verlander nor Jered Weaver, much less a rematch between the two, since they both pitched yesterday.  Perhaps that will have to wait until the 1-game wild card playoff.
