FAILHAT Throughout History
What did the disastrous loss to the Angels last week and the disastrous start by Brad Penny this past Friday have in common? You guessed it… FAILHAT.
The revived double-Sox logo on a ballcap in and of itself is not FAIL — It would look smashing with white trim on a ballcap on a fan in the stands, for example. But on an official cap that pro ballplayers wear during a game? No. No, no, a thousand times no. It looks like a spring training cap, or a BP cap – or, worse, like a company softball league cap. And when worn by the Red Sox on FAILHAT Fridays? The results are practically toxic.
After Brad Penny’s ERA ballooned up to Stay Puft Marshmallow Man proportions (although nowhere near as bad as Wang’s ERA, thank goodness), we started taking a closer look back at epic FAIL moments in history… and noticed a pattern emerging. Thanks to the fantastic skills of commenter Mac, I can now exclusively share snapshots in time with you, for example:

I haven’t laughed this hard at a post in a very very long time.
I had totally forgotten about Justin Guarini! Fail, indeed.
This is too funny. Great stuff texy.
Hahaha!
Oddly, I was just thinking about Justin Guarini the other day…and how much he failed. And needed a failhat.
Well done Mac!
All hail Mac, who managed to turn FAILHAT into a source of WIN!
(Although I have to admit that I don’t recognize the one with the whale. . . .)
@lone1c: It’s the Twitter failwhale.
@Texy: Thanks! (You learn something new on the Interwebs ever day!)
Thanks, all!
Love it! It’s all fabulous….let us wonder what the FAILHAT is going to strike next.
So good…so good…
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA I AM IN LOVE
Especially with failwhale
@Mac: These are fantastic! I can’t stop laughing! I’m saving all of these.
Thank you so much for all of these!
I disrupted my workplace laughing so hard. Loved it, esp. loved the Yankees one.
There’s nothing to say except a big fat HA. My personal favorite is Roanoke Island.
@shelley1005: @bally: @Twinkie: @starr4: @Liza: Thanks, you guys! I had a lot of fun making these. I might shop some more if the FAILHAT strikes again on Friday.
PAHAHAHAHAHA
Absolutely fantastic!
Shouldn’t it be FailCAP?
@Mac: Friday is against the Yanks…we cannot let the FAILHAT win! No! No Way! No How! Never!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Brilliant. And this explains SO MUCH.
Methinks Youk swatted the Curse of the Failhat right onto Lansdowne last night.
Canadians and Jews do not ackowledge the sovereignty of the FAILHAT.
