Palmeiro Teammates Claim Penis Moved In Shower

Arlington, TX – Teammates of Texas Rangers slugger and Viagra pitchman, Rafael Palmeiro, reported Tuesday that they saw his penis move in the shower following a recent victory over the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.

"Hell yeah, I saw it make a little twitch, just like this," said outfielder Carl Everett, before briefly shimmying with his upper body in an attempt to imitate the shocking penile activity. "And it's not like he was scrubbing down or talking or anything, which might have made it move accidentally. He was just standing still, waiting for the water to get hot, and the thing just…I don't know….shivered on its own, like a little garter snake."

"Not that I was watching or anything," Everett added. "But you couldn't miss it. From now on, I think he should lay off them damn pills."

Palmeiro, a probable Hall of Famer who is only thirteen home runs shy of the vaunted 500 mark, signed on to pitch the Pfizer product prior to the 2002 season. But while most of his teammates have publicly applauded him for admitting he suffers from the serious problem of erectile dysfunction -- along with 25 million other American men -- privately, they are growing concerned with the effect the little blue pill is having on him, and, more importantly, the team.

"It'd be one thing if he did commercials for hemorrhoids, like Don Zimmer, or that spray-hair stuff, or a rotisserie chicken machine," said one Ranger who preferred not to be named. "But when you're getting changed, or showering, and out of the corner of your eye you see a little too much activity in the ol' flesh rocket, if you know what I mean, it makes for a tense atmosphere around the clubhouse."

The Ranger added: "Everyone says it's our horrible, Little League-level pitching that's killed us this year, but it's not -- it's Raffy's unit. I mean, how can you concentrate on the game when that thing could spring up and attack at any moment?"

In the aforementioned commercials, Palmeiro clearly states "I take ground balls, I take batting practice, I take Viagra," and was paid $2 million dollars for his efforts. But when asked, he denied that he actually needs the pills.

"I just looked at it as a normal endorsement," he said. "It was easy money, man. I got $400,000 an hour to shoot one freakin' TV spot. I would have said I was a dyslexic, necrophiliac pedophile for that kind of scratch."

He then continued drying off with a towel while several teammates passed by in various states of undress, giving him a conspicuously wide berth and suspicious, sideways glances.
