I saw this on Mike & Mike earlier this morning, and then found it on youtube. Check out the Boston mayor and see if you can find a few things wrong with what he said at the dedication of the Bobby Orr statue:

A Red Sox player splitting the uprights! Impressive! I also liked it when Hizzoner said that Boston has some of the most "ionic" images in sports (I can't remember his exact words, but hell, I'm sure the Mayor can't either!)

This wasn't St. Patrick's Day, by any chance, was it?

I can't believe this guy is still in office. I left Boston 12 years ago and he'd already been in office 3-4 years.

Damn, that's bad!

Did the speechwriter possibly think that the term "splitting the uprights" meant hitting a homer between the foul poles?

God almighty.

I wonder if Adam Vinitieri could hit one over the Green Monster.

There is going to be one more speech writer looking for work after that fiasco.

Here's the snap, Vinitieri swings his leg and there it goes! That ball is outta here! Just inside the left foul pole and the New England Patriot Sox have won the game!
