Tim Kurkjian’s Tweets Are A Little Bit Leery

Tim Kurkjian, Baseball Tonight's creaky-voiced elder statesman, started a Twitter a couple weeks ago. He might not be getting the hang of it.

Here are four of his 13 tweets:

S strasburg has 6-pac abs. And he is so much more comfortable this spring

Bryce harper weighs 220 with size 15 shoe. He is going to get bigger

Mike stanton is 6-6 250 with 34 waist. He is enormous and athletic

Interviewed hanley ramirez. He has biggest shoulders and biceps ever for a ss

So, Kurkjian is the D.H. Lawrence of Twitter. Nothing gay about that. Not that there's anything wrong with it.

(And no, we can't be certain this is Kurkjian's account. But reputable, discerning ESPN folks such as Buster Olney, Adam Rubin, Tony Reali, and others follow him. So we're pretty sure.)

Dumb ass should have put "no homo" at the end of those. Now everyone is going to make a big fuss about this.

I had a friend who years ago used the same gym as Jay Gibbons during spring training. He was telling the story one day to the group, and told iit this way:

"Guys, Jay Gibbons has been coming to my gym lately. Let me tell you, what a body!"

Awkward pause.

Gibbons has forever been known since as "Whatabody" amongst us.
