If you were watching the World Series last night and paying attention, Fox compared Dustin Pedroia to tennis player Rafael Nadal. Because why not. They even had side-by-side video of two different human beings doing two completely unrelated activities. If you're rolling your eyes, it's ok, Twitter was too:
Is Fox really doing this right now

That's a new low for Fox, right?

What the hell was that, Fox?

WTH Fox?

I momentarily gave in and turned on baseball. Greeted by the comparison of Rafael Nadal to Dustin Pedroia, my soul shattered, as did my tv.

I like tennis but I'm confused about how Nadal and Pedroia are related. They are both professional athletes?

Shane Robinson pinch-hitting for Maness with two out in the sixth and he pops out to Rafael Nadal, I mean Pedroia #fox

I hope Fox one day apologizes for comparing Rafael Nadal to Dustin Pedroia.

Good job by Fox comparing a velociraptor to a chipmunk

We all know that ESPN gets a little overwhelmed when they see Dustin Pedroia, but now Fox is getting in on the fellating.
