Poor, poor Teddy. The guy just cannot catch a break. It's bad enough that he's usually drifting off during the most vital point of the Presidents Race, or running the wrong way, or having his name spelled incorrectly. But at least things never got violent -- that is, until Friday night. D.C.'s beloved Presidents and Pittsburgh's Pierogie Pentathlon crew continued their cultural exchange program, whereby the Presidents travel to the 'Burgh to show a bunch of anthropomorphic Polish appetizers how it's done. But this diplomatic mission got a little out of hand. As you can see from the video, the 'rogie in the blue hat -- who apparently goes by the name "Oliver Onion" -- absolutely lays into Teddy, right at the pivotal moment. (With that kind of big hit potential, Oliver might want to try out for the Steelers.)
Of course, that doesn't make it any less hilarious. Revel, as we did, in Teddy's latest bit of failure: getting completely jacked by a piece of unleavened dough filled with potatoes.

We will have a winning season as soon as Teddy wins a race
Take heart. The Nats are only going on their fifth year without a winning record (they did manage to reach the .500 watermark in the inaugural season). Try 17 losing and we'll talk.
Maybe it's karma for how awesome Pittsburgh is in every other sport.
The only thing lamer than the pierogies is the presidents, ripped from the pierogies' rip off from the Mil. sausage race.
You can visit scores of minor league parks with more inventive, creative and fun promotional tricks. Big league parks are mostly sterile and bush league on this front.
That was just plain dirty... Who would do that to a beloved President? I mean Tom maybe, or even George, but Teddy? So wrong...
Nice hit though. I think they both got air.
Pierogies? They look like empanadas to me. I guess that would be a DC vs Pitt culutural bias.
THATS HELMET TO HELMET! I expect a fine and a suspension. This headhunting needs to stop, before our beloved furries suffer a serious injury.

I don't know anyone in Pittsburgh who eats pierogies as an appetizer. Those suckers are meals. We used to have them for school lunches, and oddly they were paired with a random block of cheese. Being the child of Italian Americans, I just thought you ate pierogies with cheese on the side. In regards to the race, Oliver Onion is the pierogie who never wins, so it's interesting that he tackled Teddy.
Man, I would love to be tackled by a giant pierogie right about now. I'm starving!
It was that asshole Peter Nickles in the Oliver Onion costume.
Oliver Onion is apparently lobbying for year round employment at Pirates AND Steelers games. Nice.
I read the article twice.
What the hell is a Teddy?
