El Pres –

Insert usual verbal blowjob about how much I love the site here. Anyhow, I was heading into the game on Saturday, when I encountered this pair. Looked to be husband/wife or boyfriend/girlfriend. I’ve never gotten the “split jersey” thing before to begin with, but this just doesn’t make any sense. I can only imagine that these two A) are directly related to Damon, B) accidentally him with their car when he was chasing down cars in the offseason in Dedham to rehab, C) play in a softball league where they are known for tracking down fly balls but not being able to make a strong throw to the cutoff man, or D) lost a bet. I know girls wear dumb sports things all the time, but shouldn’t he know better? My head can’t even get around the fact that there was a moment in that guy’s life that morning where be buttoned up that shirt, looked in the mirror, and said “ok, I want to be seen in public now”. Is it safe to assume this is the kind of guy that has 5 dudes in his wedding party, but 4 of whom are the bride’s brothers/exboyfriends? Please help me understand this couple, or at the guy.

Thanks, TomO

First of all are we sure that this is a guy and a girl? I guess I’ll take your word for it, but this has two dudes written all over it. Regardless the only explanation I can come up with is that one of these things is a Sox fan and the other is a Yankee fan and they thought this would be a cute way to express it? Although that still really makes no sense.  I mean neither Red Sox fans nor Yankee fans would want a Damon Red Sox shirt right?  So I’m totally stumped.  Free hat to anybody who can come up with a logical explanation for this crap.
