Pitcher's wife sends hubby PED zinger

Found August 22, 2012 on Sportress of Blogitude: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Brandon McCarthy,  Bartolo Colon
TEAMS: Oakland Athletics

Via Sportress of Blogitude:

The timing of the joke may be questionable in light of the fact that Bartolo Colon, an Oakland A’s teammate of Brandon McCarthy, was just suspended 50 games by Major League Baseball for testing positive for testosterone. But you cannot question the hilarity of what MLB WAG Amanda McCarthy tweeted on Tuesday, cracking a joke about whether or not the use of ExtenZe by her husband could cause the pitcher some trouble.

 

 

Zing!

Obviously, we all know what ExtenZe purports to do in the natural male-enhancement department, so the fact that she managed to incorporate a veiled rip at, um, shall we say, uh, what her husband is packing and wrap it all up with a dig at the MLB drug policy in one fell tweet? Well, that’s prettay, prettay, prettay good.

  • Yeah, same with this woman's poorly written tweet.
    I mean, she clearly misspelled the word "extends."
