Look, this blog likes a good gay/Australian joke as much as (and, really much, much more than) the next guy; remember, we here don't believe that words (or strings of words) have any objective meaning (this is how we justify saying whatever we want). However, we feel that announcers on regional sports networks should be held to at least some sort of incredibly mild standard of non-homophobic commentating, because (while gay jokes are things we feel okay making on this blog, because we know 1) no one reads it; and 2) if they did, they would likely be a friend of ours whose mind we would know we wouldn't be poisoning against the gheys [hi Jake!]) that's just not the sort of joke or comment that should be made in an environment where one doesn't have compete control of its ramifications.
But, in this case, FUCK THAT! Because--you wanna know what?--the only inaccurate thing that announcer said is "and he did." Because Joe West definitely, certainly, 100% truly wanted to stick it right up his (Mark Buehrle's) behind.
Seriously, Joe West, I hope you die a miserable, rotten, lonely, fatfatfatfatfatfatfatfat death. (On the bright side, I feel it's pretty likely that that's something that will happen; either that or him choking to death on a chicken wing.)
