(Source) - A Boston radio host blew his stack Wednesday morning after Fox’s Erin Andrews allowed Adam Wainwright to blame someone else — social media — after he said he threw Derek Jeter a couple of fat pitches to lead off the Yankees captain’s final All-Star Game.
After the Cardinals ace allowed Jeter to hit a leadoff double, he told reporters that he was “going to give (Jeter) a couple of pipe shots,” then admitted that he “should have pitched him a little better than that.” Jeter’s double sparked a three-run inning in the American League’s 5-3 win.
After the comments made their way onto Twitter, Andrews caught up with Wainwright in the bottom of the eighth inning and gave him a platform to explain that somehow, what he said wasn’t his fault. Or what he meant. Or he made a joke that everyone missed. It was a move that sent WEEI’s Kirk Minihane into a frenzy.
“What a b----! I hate her! What a gutless b----! Seriously, go away. Drop dead,” Minihane said on the Dennis and Callahan Show after they played Andrews’ interview with Wainwright. “I mean, seriously what the hell is wrong with her? First of all, follow-up. Second of all, the guy admitted he did it. He admitted it. He told reporters he threw a couple of pipe bombs. How is that social media’s fault? I hate her. I seriously hate her so much. Social media is the reason she has a big house! Shut up. Shut up. I shouldn’t call her a bitch, I’m sure she’s a nice person.”
First off, let me start by saying that every single part of me wants to applaud the shit out of Kirk Minihane here. Every molecule of every drop of every ounce of my being wants to scream Hallelujah at the top of my lungs for this move. Somebody needed to say something, anything, about just how much of an uppity little priss Erin Andrews is. But this just wasn't the time or place for it. Does she suck? Absolutely, no doubt about it. Least talented, most uninformed airhead floozy in sports today hands down. Whoever the guy was who called her a "bimbo" couldn't have been more on point, not to mention I love to watch middle-aged dudes use middle-aged insults because they're equal parts insulting and goofy as fuck for just the right amount of balance.
Kirk Minihane, on the other hand, shot his wad early. Dude has clearly been harboring some pretty substantial feelings of animosity towars Er Bear for awhile now and just couldn't contain himself. I'm not blaming him for what he said. Hell, I hate that bitch too. But that's my whole point. I say the exact same things week in and week out. Only difference is that I do it in a bar with my buddies over a beer rather than on a popular radio show where you know you're gonna get slammed for it afterwards, probably forever labelling yourself as some "sexist pig" type for the fembots to put on blast. Time and place, Kirk, time and place. You fucked up, plain and simple. Now Erin the middle-aged sports sorority princess can whine to the high heavens and make herself all the more relevant and Kirk's left cleaning up his own shit and repairing whatever image he had.
PS - Love Kirk spinning it and making it about journalistic integrity for her not asking a follow-up question immediately after saying he hates her and wishes she would drop dead. Savvy move.
"Oh shit I fucked up, how can we fix this?"
"Hey Erin, you dopey fucking cunt, you didn't even ask a follow-up! IDIOT!"
Top it all off with saying he's sure she's nice. Boom, crisis averted.
