It's just a metaphor. The lawn is the crappy Cardinals lineup and the mower is a Big Z fastball.

 

He's not a cardinals fan. He's a really clever troll.

Wrong sterotype dumb arse(not the poster, the guy in the shirt). May as well have one that says Fukudome runs my Korean grocery store.

[Cynosure]

I think it's funny... that's like an inbred Cubs fan wearing a Pujols Mows My Lawn shirt.

 

The reason it's funny is because it's a wrong stereotype... and it's a St. Louis genius wearing it.

[TruffleShuffle]

i don't really understand how you can wear a shirt like that and then go root for latin american players on your own team.

There was a moron in my section back during the Cards series that had one of these on. I really wanted to ask him if he realized that Zambrano is from Venezuela.

Should have told him to "get a brain moran".

So Venezuelans aren't good enough to mow your lawn?

Maybe he means sleeps with his wife.

There's some t-shirt shop in St. Louis that sells this sort of stuff along with other non-sports t-shirts that might be considered rude. I know I've walked past it when down there. I want to say the shop has also done stuff about Larussa's DUI and Josh Hancock's car crash that would be in poor taste.

 

I'll email friends in St. Louis and see if I can get the name of the store.

Zambrano earns more money in a week than that guy likely earns in a year. Making a joke about Z's social class is pretty dumb.

[Mike Aller]

Pretty funny, actually.

What might be better is the employee behind him who is trying to casually scratch his ass.

[jersey cubs fan]

Pretty funny, actually.

 

How?

[Roast]

Pretty funny, actually.

lol yeah, racist stereotypes are awesome.

Close. I wouldn't recommend people with a thin skin go to their website.

From what my friend in St. Louis told me the Cardinals are not happy with them. Wearing a lot of the Rina Wear stuff will get you kicked out of the place without even being given the option to change. She said the ushers have a list and are ordered to boot people wearing the offending shirts.

Horry Kow, anyone?

Horry Kow, anyone?

 

That shirt has been lambasted in many places, including this message board.

[Mike Aller]

Pretty funny, actually.

Yes, they're funny. The same way we all laugh when a black or latino comedian is on stage making fun of stereotypes.

 

Is Z Mexican? No. Does the stereotype almost always apply to Mexicans? Yes. Is it still funny because everyone knows what he means? Yes.

There's a difference between laughing at something that's funny, even if it plays on a stereotype, and laughing at something that isn't funny just b/c it attempts to play on a stereotype. I guess if the shirt were funny it would still be dumb, but at least it'd be funny.

 

This is just dumb.

Oh, it's dumb. I'm not denying that. But I still find it funny. Difference of opinion I suppose.

the complete absence of self-awareness is disturbing

[Bote McBoteface]

It'd be funny to me if Zambrano was Mexican. A shirt saying Theriot can't jump or D-Lee stole my TV would be funny to me. This is just kinda dumb.

those tshirts would definitely not be funny
