ESPN Needs To Work On Some Things

Staying on today's A.J. Pierzynski theme, I now present to you video from last night's game against the Tigers. Pierzynski and Mark Buehrle got crossed up on signs, and while A.J. was expecting a breaking ball on the outside corner, Buehrle threw a fastball up and in.

The result?

Home plate umpire Jeff Kellogg taking a fastball to the head. Not that big of a deal really, but as Jon Miller points out during the following video, Kellogg was wearing a mic. And ESPN listened to the audio before playing it for all of us to hear.

Yet for some reason they didn't edit out A.J.'s F-bomb.

Not exactly the worst offense in the world, but you'd think that ESPN would have caught it before putting it on the air. Though, to be fair to ESPN, it was the second time you heard Pierzynski say "fuck" on the air last night. After popping up a Verlander fastball in the 2nd inning, A.J. let out a loud "Fuck!" that was picked up by all the microphones around home plate.
