Giant Ass
The Pirates are in Boston this weekend. The game isn't important. Tonight, during the bottom of the 7th inning the rotating ads behind home plate were shilling for Giant Glass. That's Giant Glass. 1-800-54-Giant. Facing Josh Fogg in the bottom of the 7th were three left-handed batters. The placement of the camera put these batters right in the middle of the Giant Glass ad. The first batter was Bill Mueller. The umpire, Pirate catcher Humberto Cota, and Mueller were aligned perfectly so that the sign read "Giant Ass". It was beautiful. Unfortunately, by the time I got a recordable DVD in and formatted Mueller was out and Johnny Damon was up. Johnny's stance put him farther over into "Giant" but when he leans into the pitch he brings back the "Giant Ass". It's not as good as Bill Mueller's "Giant Ass", but I guess it will have to do.
