Steinberg: St. Louis baseball writer makes hilarious jokes about the Nats

Woo-hoo…I haven’t laughed at a Strauss this hard since Stanislas “Animal” Kasava danced with Harry “Sugar Lips” Shapiro! #stalaugh17

Joe Strauss @JoeStrauss

District in meltdown. Mention Natitude and it’s as if someone shook the hive. #NotMyMarketingCampaign

Now, this is funny, because apparently a few Nats fans got angry at Strauss or something. And by writing “#NotMyMarketingCampaign,” Strauss here signifies that he did not, in fact, come up with Natitude. Meaning he’s zeroing in on ...

My childhood has ensured I'll never not associate Wuhl with Alexander Knox.

And I like the Braves to claim their first division title since '05 while the Nats fight for a Wild Card slot.

I hope Wuhl isn't working at Sears. Lady Kenmores--nasty.

Jim Williams has the journalistic firepower of Mary Hart. At least Mary Hart had nice legs.

The Nationals had no comment, because they had no idea who he was or why he mattered.

He was dead wrong. Candlesticks do not make a great gift. The registry was a good idea however.

This should be a weekly series.

"Brian Benben thinks the Reds will fall back to earth this year"

"Kadeem Hardison is excited about the Rangers' new crop of prospects"

"Jenna von Oy has no idea what the Mariners are doing"

Once again our celebrity worship and star-f***ing culture says hello; an entertainer with nothing special to add gets air-time for this.

Next week he will testify before Congress on farm policy (no, wait, that is Sissy Spacek).

Okay Repoz, that was officially a serious stealth reference. It's two separate cultural references deep.

Really like that album by the way. Good adrenaline music.

I've never met anyone who likes Robert Wuhl as a performer or comedian.

What does star-f***ing have to do with Robert Wuhl? Isn't the presence of a star required?

He's got more stealth references in his little pinky than you have in your whole pinky!

To be fair I think you could say the same thing about Jack Zduriencik.

I had never seen a picture of him until I Googled him just now to get the correct spelling of his name. His head is a spectacularly perfect egg-shape.

Wuhl is known as one of the biggest baseball fans in Hollywood. That's probably why they sought his opinion. And for what it's worth, I liked him in Arliss.

When I woke up today I was pretty sure I wouldn't see Kadeem Hardison and the New Bomb Turks referenced in the same BTF thread. How wrong I was...

Robert Wuhl was in Bull Durham. That gives him some serious baseball related hollywood cred, regardless of how much Arliss sucked.

This would have been totally worth it if he'd answered the question whether he'd been to a game at Nationals Park with a simple: "Yeah I came. I'm glad I came."

Robert Wuhl was in Bull Durham.

And Cobb! For a guy without a lot of IMDB entries, he's been in a lot of baseball stuff.

Arli$$ was some sort of sadistic exercise in anti-comedy. But Wuhl is very funny in Bull Durham. He's not without his uses as a performer.

Seriously Crispix. Iced tea came out of my nose. That was hilarious.

Also, in defense of this particular star-####, apparently Wuhl has been playing fantasy baseball for longer than some of you punks have been alive! Which, for some reason, is supposed to be relevant to a baseball site.

I mean, c'mon, it's not his fault he's not in some shitty indie rock band

Wuhl used to do a bit where he lists all the bad movies Burt Reynolds has been in, that was kinda funny.
Burt's sure been in a lot of bad ones, this is true.

Robert Wuhl almost stole Batman from Jack Nicholson. Sort of.
