    He's saying "Uhm" every other word, taking long pauses, and not really making much sense.

    Virtually everyone does that? Have you never been challenged to talk 60 seconds without using, uhm, like or any other "filler" word? They used to do that to us at school all the time. No one could do it.

    He said uhm about every other word. I realize he was nervous, but sometimes when he talked it just didnt make sense.

    I would expect me to do that. Of course I have never pitched in a World Series, AllStar game, spoken during a press conference and/or addressed crowds of tens of thousands.

    It doesn't take that many words to tell the truth.

    It wasn't the errs ums that did it. It was the constant attempt to steer his answers to some bull **** script. He sounded like Miss South Carolina.

    I personally believe that US American baseball players, err um, take HG Hormones is bad, Osama, Jose Canseco is my alibi, my granny gave me B12 shots.
