Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

WGN and Geometry

Only highlight of the game this afternoon was the announcers on WGN ripping on the ball girl down the 3rd base line.  They called her out for 'not having played a ball correctly off the wall all game' and accused her of skipping class when angles of deflection were covered.

Right after they get done making fun of this girl she fields one cleanly then tosses it to a boy in the stands.  The guys were on a roll and said that she did a nice job on that ball 'unless she'd already given that kid two balls today'

Just thought it was funny.  The game was so boring that this is what the announcers were left to talk about.

funny bit...
That was funny bit.. correct too, lots of badly played angles by ball people in this series.

A few minutes before that bit, the ball girl did give a second baseball to a girl in the stands who already had one.  The camera zoomed in on the smiling girl with a baseball in each hand, and the other kids next to her looking on in envy...

So there was a reason for that comment too...

All in good fun, if you knew the context.

Unless you have a dirty mind :-)
The boys kissed the girls on the strikes, and the girls kissed the boys...
