The Philles have a hot dog gun. The Phillie Phanatic rolls around on a a cart firing hot dogs into the crowd out of a hot dog-shaped cannon. As one does. Cliff Lee took it for a spin during the Phillies' Friday night game against the Pirates and found the firepower lacking. The Philadelphia broadcast tried to explain this with the telestrator aaaaaaaand maybe that was a mistake:
Cliff Lee. Hot dog gun. Unfortunate telestrator use. #Phillies pic.twitter.com/yITJYD9J5t

...although it really does sound like their sad little jizz-squiggle was on point:
Cliff Lee on the hot dog gun... one problem: the guy isn't getting it into the stands.

Cliff Lee operating the hot dog gun. He's struggling and just gave it the dismissive wanking motion.

Totally normal, Cliff. Happens to everybody now and then. Don't worry about it.
