@ThisIsWeird #Gross

If you’re really, really into fat jokes and/or subtle invitations LOL, man do I have some shirts for you!

Is it wrong that I like and use twitter, and even follow baseball players there, and yet find these to be an atrocious sin against the heart of baseball / love / life? If someone could explain myself to me in this regard, I’d appreciate it, because I’m not really sure what I’m so offended by anymore. Brett Lawrie, everyone! Pantalones!

    I am actually excited about this development. These jerseys will help me more quickly identify people that I will never, ever be friends with, and allow me to avoid contact with said people accordingly.

    It’s like hair gel for your clothes!

      Hate the shirts, but hair gel prevents me from looking like a homeless person. Guess we can’t be frien- Hold on a sec and . . . yes, excellent. I just checked my brand and it’s not hair gel. It’s Garnier Fructis fiber gum putty. We are totally cool, bro.

    Finding these to be an atrocious sin against all that is good and right in the world merely indicates that you are a sane person with a functioning frontal lobe.

    Using Twitter and following ballplayers on it is a perfectly normal activity. Like being in a team fan club in days of yore.

    Though harpago17 does have a valid point.

    There’s no reason to be offended. It’s harmless fandom. Lame, but harmless.

    I am excited for personalized Jays’ Twitter jerseys, where people can put their own moniker on the back of a Jays’ jersey.

    This article and shirts reminded me to follow Bautista on twitter. I think this is a win and a fail all wrapped in one.
