Chicago Cubs broadcast leaves viewers stunned as Justin Turner is seen engaging in lewd celebration
Chicago Cubs fans were stunned on Thursday night as their team's home broadcast showed Justin Turner engaging in an extremely lewd celebration.
Turner, 40, did not appear in the game for Chicago but was dubbed the 'Fan of the Game' by Marquee Sports Network, as they showed a clip of him celebrating with outfielder Seiya Suzuki.
But the veteran Turner's cheers were from from typical, as the infielder was actually seen wearing a pair of fake testicles as he jumped up and down.
The 2020 World Series champion smiled wide as he pumped his arms in the air while wearing the bizarre item, and fans couldn't believe that Marquee aired the NSFW moment.
'I was like is the camera guy blind or did he do it on purpose,' one fan asked on X, including a laughing-crying emoji in their post.
'Broadcast got some balls to show that,' a second joked.
Suzuki rounds the bases after hitting a home run in the bottom of the sixth inning
'For most men, it's the simple things,' a third added.
And a fourth said: 'Did we just win it all?'
According to the New York Post, broadcasters Boog Sciambi and Jim Deshaies went silent for about 30 seconds afterwards as they seemingly realized what had happened on the broadcast.
Nonetheless, it was a positive night for the Cubs as they beat the Pirates 3-2 to move to 42-27 on the year.
Turner, in his 17th MLB season, has played a reserve role for the red-hot Cubs this season, only appearing in 38 games.
In 110 plate appearances, he's hitting .213 with 11 RBIs and one home run.
The Cubs have three more games against Pittsburgh this weekend before they'll welcome the Brewers to town.

I built a tiny home on wheels for £1.5k, at 13 years old, it has a kitchen, bed & enough space to host family dinners
LUKE Thill, now 20, is on a mission to build incredible homes. When he was 12 years old, he took on his first challenge: building a tiny home on wheels. 6 6 In a video watched by 13 million people on his YouTube channel @LukeThill, he takes viewers around the finished build. Inspired by other DIY renovations on YouTube, Luke set about saving up. Over several months, Luke, from Iowa, raised £1,100 ($1,500) to pay for the materials needed for the build. Luke's local community chipped in by donating materials, and he swapped services for help with building. His dad helped him draw up plans and construct the house, while his mum assisted with the interior design. The tiny home is connected to electricity, and inside, Luke has fit a working stove, mini-fridge, a sofa with a drop-down table, and a loft bed. He even built a deck at the front using reclaimed materials. In total, the tiny home took the teenager a year and a half to complete. Luke, now a paramedic, said: 'The tiny house was always meant to be a space to have friends over and to entertain people.' And that's exactly what he did one Thanksgiving when he hosted his family in the space. We bought 2 shipping containers for $5,500 each and built our 'dream' tiny home - a key method helped us save even more Luke said: 'We had everything a normal Thanksgiving dinner would have. My family of five plus our dog all fit." Luke's build was such a success that at 14 years old, his twin brother, Cole asked him to build a 36-square-foot mini camper to go along with the tiny house. The camper is less than half the size of the tiny house and portable, so it was built in a different way to withstand high speeds in transportation. Since building it, the camper has been on more than 50 trips across the country, mainly used in the summer when the weather is fine. Inside, there is an L shape banquette seating which doubles into a sleeping area and a small table. 6 6 6 But the main attraction is outside as the camper has a huge pull-out drawer which houses all their camping cooking equipment, and then doubles into a worktop to prep food. 'It houses everything you need to cook - we even have a gas propane stove," Luke explained in another video. "It's obviously not a full kitchen but it has everything you need in this sliding drawer under the camper. But Luke admitted: 'The tiny house will always be my favourite.' 6 Tiny Homes FAQs The tiny house movement began in the USA before gaining popularity in the UK. What is a tiny home? Tiny houses are small, fully-equipped living spaces designed to lead a more sustainable, off-grid lifestyle. Although they vary in size and shape, tiny homes tend to be between 15 and 50 square metres in capacity, made of sustainable materials and are easier — and cheaper — to maintain than traditional brick homes. Are tiny homes legal in the UK? As long as the tiny house doesn't exceed 19.8m x 6.7m in size, it is defined as a caravan in UK law. Therefore, tiny houses are classed as legal additional living space. Can you get a mortgage for a tiny home? The small size and relatively low cost of tiny houses means they're not generally considered eligible for a mortgage. However, there are plenty of options to take out a loan to fund your dreams of the perfect, moveable home.

Brad Pitt a racing certainty in lustrous silk shirt, velvet pants and shiny shoes
Brad Pitt had the winning formula as he stepped out with his girlfriend Ines de Ramon in a shiny lavender silk shirt in New York City on Friday. The 61-year-old star was seen on a date night as he continues to promote his motorsport drama, F1. He and his 32-year-old beau met with Bradley Cooper and his girlfriend, the model Gigi Hadid. Brad and Ines held hands as they were spotted exiting a building in Midtown Manhattan shortly after he was forced to deny he was using her to promote the film, in which he plays a Formula 1 driver who is lured out of retirement after a terrible crash. The actor has been focused on his relationship and his new film in the wake of exclusive report on how he now believes that his relationship with some of the children he shares with his ex-wife Angelina Jolie is 'unfixable.' Brad lit up the night with his lustrous shirt, which complemented a lilac suit he wore earlier this week in Mexico City while promoting F1. It hung loosely on his fit frame, and he made sure not to tuck it too tightly. He stayed on theme with an eye-catching pair of casual black velvet pants and shiny black square-toed shoes. Brad wore his hair in a buzzcut and added a pair of large metal-frame sunglasses. Ines wore a beige ruched minidress that hung off her shoulders and emphasized her hourglass figure. The brunette beauty complemented her dress with a beige quilted purse and open-toe stiletto heels. Earlier on Friday, Brad was spotted in New York City in a striped mesh burgundy polo shirt with bright orange track pants. He paired it with amber-tinted aviator sunglasses, gray-and-yellow sneakers and a gray suede Gucci duffel bag. Pointing the way: Ines wore a beige ruched minidress that hung off her shoulders and emphasized her hourglass figure Later in the evening, Bradley and Gigi were seen arriving to meet Brad and Ines at the COTE Korean Steakhouse, the only one of its type to have been awarded a Michelin star. Brad and Ines were seen emerging from the restaurant after their meal, with Bradley and Gigi following close behind. The Maestro star and director kept things casual with a navy T-shirt, dark jeans and black leather sneakers. Gigi looked similarly casual with a stylish pale blue denim shirt worn open over a white T-shirt. She rounded out her look with baggy white sweatpants and mesh-covered sandals. High steaks: The acclaimed restaurant has the distinction of being the only Korean barbecue restaurant in the world to have earned a Michelin star

Jacob deGrom in vintage form as Rangers face White Sox
June 14 - The Texas Rangers will send the closest example of a sure thing to the mound when they battle the improving Chicago White Sox on Saturday afternoon in the middle contest of a three-game series in Arlington, Texas. Rangers ace right-hander Jacob deGrom (6-2, 2.12 ERA) will get the start. The White Sox are expected to counter with a bullpen game as they deal with a shortened rotation with Jonathan Cannon sidelined with a lower back strain. Texas won the series opener 3-1 on Friday as Josh Smith homered and scored all three of the Rangers' runs to back the work of seven pitchers. Texas has won five of its past six while the White Sox have dropped three straight. deGrom has won both his starts in June while allowing one run on six hits over 13 innings. He threw seven scoreless innings at Washington on June 7, allowing only two hits and no walks while striking out eight on 81 pitches as Texas prevailed 5-0. "(Against the Nationals) I felt a little bit smoother than I have all year," deGrom said. "It was more consistent. It's a feel thing. It's hard to explain. But I just felt more comfortable." deGrom has surrendered two runs or fewer in 10 consecutive starts, posting a 1.61 ERA over that span. "It's hard to quantify how much (deGrom) means to the club," Texas manager Bruce Bochy said. "He's just so consistent, and he sends such a sense of confidence when he's on the mound. He does mean a lot to this team." deGrom has two no-decisions and a 1.29 ERA in his pair of career starts against the White Sox, allowing two runs on 10 hits over 14 innings with four walks and 21 strikeouts. The Saturday appearance will be his first against the South Siders since he was with the New York Mets in 2019. The White Sox are playing better lately, going 5-5 over their past 10 games as their attitude turns away from just competing well to winning games and series. On Friday, Chicago had the potential winning run on base in the ninth inning but couldn't get the hit needed to tie the game or produce a victory. "You're starting to feel a change from, 'Way to go, we competed,' to, 'We're upset that we didn't win the game,'" Chicago manager Will Venable said. "That's the reflection of the growth of this club, and I think that's what you earn by playing good baseball." The last time Chicago employed a bullpen game, right-hander Mike Vasil (3-2, 2.18 ERA) started, and he will get the call again on Saturday. Against the Kansas City Royals on Sunday, Vasil went 3 1/3 innings, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out one in a game the White Sox lost 7-5. The White Sox bolstered their starting staff by acquiring right-hander Aaron Civale from Milwaukee via a trade on Friday, sending first baseman Andrew Vaughn and cash to the Brewers. Civale is 1-2 with a 4.91 ERA in five starts this season. Venable said before the Friday game that Civale would start on Sunday afternoon. --Field Level Media
