If you went to bed early, you absent affluence ... though, really, all you charge to apperceive is this: freaking RoboCop threw out the aboriginal angle in Detroit. That, and all the bottom highlights, appropriate now:
Part Man. Allotment Machine. All Crappy Pitcher.
RoboCop, Detroit's admired cybernetic citizen, took a breach from patrolling the city-limits streets to throw out the aboriginal pitch afore the Tigers/Blue Jays bold on Tuesday night.
It did not go decidedly well.
Don't get us wrong, it wasn't a beating on par with 50 Cent's aboriginal pitch, but we accepted RoboCop to stride to the mound, aftermath a baseball from his thigh-holster, and acrylic the alfresco bend with a 120-mph fastball. Instead, we got a weak-ass Eephus angle that about fabricated it to home plate. ED-209 would've hit it all the way to Royal Oak.
Then again, as anon as we saw new RoboCop abating up in the abode – the aboriginal angle commemoration was allotment of "RoboCop Day" in Detroit, an accident cleverly angry to the DVD absolution of the 2014 reboot – we knew what we were in for. After all, he can't even wrestle, and he's absolutely never had absurd chicken (Josh Beckett's favorite meal!) Oh, the Dejected Jays concluded up acceptable the bold BTW, scoring 5 runs in the top of the ninth.
