ans4e64 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 On the ESPN ticker, I just almost passed out from laughing so hard, because it said: "Yankees Wang to return to mound." ...... This almost seems too funny to be done on accident. Does someone at ESPN have a sense of humor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastMode54 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Well the pitchers name is Chien Ming Wang, and he hasn't pitched since last season. Its like saying Maddux returns to mound. Don't really see the humor in it. His name is also pronounced Wong, not Wang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This almost seems to funny to be done on accident. Does someone at ESPN have some humor? How would you have preferred they phrase it? It isn't that funny, it's the man's name.

Don't really see the humor in it. His name is also pronounced Wong, not Wang You don't see the humor in it? How about "wang" being slang for a man's genitalia, and "mound" being slang for a woman's? Wang returns to mound. Must be me, I think its hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 How would you have preferred they phrase it? It isn't that funny, it's the man's name. Of course, but the "return to mound" gives it a little unintentional (if sophomoric) comedic value. I got a small chuckle out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ans4e64 Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 How would you have preferred they phrase it? It isn't that funny, it's the man's name. How about "Wang makes his first start since 2008" or "Wang starts against __ tonight".... I could keep going. Relax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I'm guessing you saw this on the new bottomline segment called "The Lead", where they give the top stories snappy little headlines, not just information. But again, I failed to see the humor with the whole "mound" thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookiemonster Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 How about Wang is really in a tight jam here. or They were trying to squeeze Wang in. or Wang needs to get on base so he can score. or They have Wang caught in a rundown here. or Wang has good stuff. or I would like to push Wang over to second. or He caught Wang last game. or He hit a Wang-off home run. or He hit a home run off of Wang. or His bat glanced off of Wang. (ouch!) or None can touch Wang today. OK, I will stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
