Even though I'll never forgive John Mayer for the ear-fucking travesty of that song about mothers and daughters, his history of appearances in funny viral videos (not to mention Chappelle's Show) suggests that he's not the complete teen-girl-pandering douchebag his music would otherwise make me think.
And this video of Mayer calling part of an A's-Red Sox game in Japan will only add to Mayer's viral video cred. I'm not sure if Mayer's being ironic or actually knows nothing about baseball (I'd guess the former), but one thing's for certain: he's light years better than Joe Morgan.
(You have to applaud Dustin Pedroia for going after that third pitch: "blue and yellow" is a total hitter's count.)

The best thing I can say about his announcing skills is…that happened.
Fuck you very much. I feel stupider having watched that. Him is light years more better then Joe Buck.

Yellow and blue does make green.
Green means go.
Swing away, Dustin!
John Mayer has a bright future of having his intestines strewn about Doogie’s basement of doom.
He sounds like a young, drunk, and mostly retarded Vin Scully.
Also, I can't believe Foulke threw a straight ball on a blue and yellow count. He totally should have tossed a bendy pitch.
How can a guy call himself a man if he doesn't know the rules to baseball? Is he a fucking communist?
"And that happened" is essentially the John Madden Technique. He's going to go far in this business.
i actually saw john mayer on G4 once, telling it like it is. went something to the effect of….
"i love playing video games. all i do is play video games and drink with my buddies, because for some reason i have a lot of money. i love playing blues guitar, but you know what kind of ass blues guitar players get? OLD ass. old, funky ass. i happen to have a think for young, pretty things from california, so i play my music, make my money, get the girls i want and then i play video games."
then whoever was filming must've thought he was joking about the whole thing, because they ignored it until some hot girl came out of a room wearing a tiny tshirt and panties. the girl came over and sat next to mayer. he ignored her for a minute, then when he started playing bad (was playing halo i think) he told her to go away because she was bothering him and she did. then he smiled at the camera. didn't look at all staged.
+1 that guy's got mad guitar skills too.
Apparently that’s an “S”…
He says, "the person pitching." If he knew nothing about baseball, wouldn't he use a word like "throwing?"
Sorry I couldnt' listen at work, but if I understand correctly Pedroia has blue balls and yellow strikes?
I thought it was impossible to get blue balls in Japan. Apparently you can just beat off on people in public there. Or so I'm told.
/awaiting visa
and…THAT happened.
