Was that splooge on Joe Blanton’s hat?

Posted by meech.one at 9:15 am ET 14 Comments

There was quite the controversy brewing at The Bank last night when Tampa Bay’s manager, Joe Maddon, told home plate ump Tom Hallion that he believed Blanton had splooge on his hat.

Blanton responded:

“It’s nothing,” Blanton said. “I rub my balls up with whatever I rub them up with, and you rub it up and get it on your hand. I’m constantly trying to get moisture, and just touch my hat. It’s nothing sticky. Anybody can go touch it. It’s basically just dirt from my balls that gets… over time, over so many starts, I don’t change my hat. It just gets rubbed on the hat.”

So there you have it, Joe Blanton did not have splooge on his hat last night.

I dunno. It could still be splooge. He did say it gets on his hands from rubbing up his balls. Cause, meet effect.

Well Joe Maddon should get some deference here: he certainly does know a lot about splooge and balls.

Funny…except that they all have new World Series hats, right? They didn’t just put decals on their old hats. So he’d only have 1 start under his belt.

I believe the event you are speaking of will take place on Wednesday on Broad Street… that is of course if everything goes as planned tonight and “the umps gift us another win”…

Of course it’s not splooge. It’s the dirt from his balls. The man said so himself.

Joe “Dirty Balls” Blanton. Has a nice ring to it…

I haven’t see that much MLB splooge left on a hat since I retrieved my sombrero from Alyssa Milano’s pussy.
