Former Major League catcher and current Rogers Sportsnet baseball analyst Gregg Zaun delivered this lovely tweet to his Twitter followers earlier this morning. It would be easy to point out how such a comment is, at best, the unfunny sophomoric ramblings of an aged jock douche bag far removed from anything resembling his element, and at worst, representative of a deep seated hatred toward women, but instead, I think we should take Zaun’s tweet at face value.
Given that the player was named in the Mitchell Report with a photo copy of a cheque made out to notorious performance enhancing drug dealer Kirk Radomski, for which Zaun had this ludicrous excuse, perhaps he’s something of an expert when it comes to what might constitute a high testosterone or estrogen level. I’d bet $500 that he is.
Did Parkes just pick a fight with Gregg Zaun?
That was sort of funny. He tries too hard in my opinion. Why any one follows Gregg Zaun is amazing, though.
People missing the glory days of high school.
None more than Gabriel Morency. [I've been watching the Score far too long].
I don’t even know what that is.
Gabriel Morency? He used to do a radio show when the Score had Sirius. Nevermind, it’s not important.
Ah, got it.
wasn’t he one of the lubed up men throwing eachother to the ground in a cage… sorry I mean MMA guys?
I can’t believe how much you’ve grown up, Parkes!
The sensitivity you’re showing lately is really something.
He’s made such strides since he wrote his DJF guide “to punching kitty at the ballpark.”
If he’s not married already I am sure Parkes will be one of those guys to take his wife’s name solely in the name of equality. You go PC champion of the interwebs!
C’mon Parkes, that was pretty funny.
Zaun with a period? That would mark his first complete sentence.
Best. Comment. Evar.
Gem.
let people have their fun jesus christ, if you don’t like it don’t read it. zaun’s just trying to have fun… shouldn’t you?
Since when was it not fun to poke at Gregg Zaun?
Did you just call Parkes “Jesus Christ”? I think that’s a bit of a stretch.
wow, pretty sure “just letting people have fun” is not the best means by which to measure people’s actions.
Especially when he’s wearing a skirt in his Twitter profile photo!
John Lott retweeted this. Hilarious.
I can’t believe this shit passes for any type of content anywhere. Maybe somebody should make an outraged post about how Parkes’ Getting Blanked Video intro is offensive to people with Tourette’s or something. What a joke.
Why is this even worth commenting on? Or commenting on the comment…dammit.
Misogyny: hatred, dislike, or mistrust of women.
Hyperbole: obvious and intentional exaggeration; overstatement.
Next he’ll be calling Nicole Kidman a fat bitch!
White knights to the rescue. What team are you on exactly? You’re an embarrassment to your gender.
It’s us against the wimmens! Scott Adams rules!
Dustin Parkes – Supreme Whiteknight.
How is this misogyny? It’s not like he’s from Boston.
women like shoes. saying so is not sexist.
Hey Parkes,
Maybe you can write an article defending this woman?

I’m sure Parkes leaves the room in protest when one of his buddies makes a sexist joke.
Ran in to Zaun a few years ago at one of his favourite bars and he quipped this doozy. Free agents around baseball dont really want to go to Toronto. The one advantage it has over other cities is its women. They are known around MLB as the most likely to offer up their ass.
Was he drinking? Because he is a self-admitted alcoholic and claims that he no longer drinks. Regardess, what an idiotic comment.
He still drinks.
Zaun might have confusing women with Maple Leaf fans, who have been taking it in the ass for the last 45 years.
