The Worldwide Leader decided to have some fun today

Hey, see that headline there? It says “soggy balls.” HAHAHA! LOL! ROTFL!!!!!

And doing a google news search doesn’t really yield any other publication that uses this HILARIOUS terminology.

The Denver Post gives us “‘Spongy’ baseballs and other theories.”

MSNBC went with “Conspiracy? Brewers player says humidor fishy.”

The San Francisco Chronicle chose “Cirillo proves prophetic as Brewers lose.”

The actual AP story uses the term “waterlogged” to describe the baseballs in question.

But yeah, the actual story is about Brewers infielder Jeff Cirillo claiming the Rockies are doctoring baseballs used inside Coors Field – accounting for the crazy low scores going on this year in Denver.

But either way, thank you ESPN. You’re so funny!
