For a second there it looked like Marquee Sports Network inadvertently showed Cubs veteran Justin Turner celebrating in the dugout with his actual testicles out during Thursday night’s 3-2 win over the Pirates. It turned out to be a fake pair of balls, but nonetheless it was so shocking that the broadcast booth was either stunned into complete silence or they were laughing their asses off with their mics off.
Entering the top of the ninth inning Boog Sciambi was reading off a sponsor for the fan of the game and it was Turner, who was cheering on Seiya Suzuki from earlier in the game. The camera pans over to Turner, who begins jumping up and down, all while a pair of fake balls flop everywhere.
The broadcast went back to live action and as Ryan Pressly recorded the first out of the inning Sciambi finally broke the 30-second silence.
That’s just a classic veteran, keeping it loose in the clubhouse with the boys.
