Grow Up!

What Alex Rodriguez did last night wasn't dirty, nor was his slapping at the ball a couple of years ago against Boston. It's an anything to win mentalitly. Especially at this desperate time, whatever it takes to win...

Seriously, every person you know does that when there is an infield popup... kids do it in little league, adults in softball. It's like screaming at a guy on a fastbreak layup in basketball, or knocking your stick on the ice to trick an opponent into passing you the puck in hockey. It's part of the game. Frankly, I think the Blue Jays' players are a bunch of ovaries for the way they reacted. Just catch the ball, stop whining.

Ty Cobb was dirty. He would slide with his spikes up and one time laid down a bunt on the first base line against a pitcher that previously had hit him. He ran over the pitcher and stomped on his chest with his spikes. Pitcher had to leave the game.

Bruce Bowen is a dirty player. He kneed Nash in the nuts, and constantly is making sure his feet are in the landing path of the offensive player he guards on a jumpshot.

Bill Romanowski was a dirty player. He once snapped a player's finger in half during a fumble pile-up.

Alex Rodriguez is far from a dirty player. He pulled a playground move that should never work in the pros. It's like getting away with the hidden ball trick. The only person who should be embarrassed is the guy who falls for it.

If you saw the game last night, the pop-up that Posada hit was a routine weak pop to the shortstop. This was shallow shortstop, not even on the outfield grass. There is absolutely no way in hell a left fielder is calling this one. The shortstop panicked and choked. It's as simple as that. He heard A-Rod shout and crapped his pants. He should be embarrassed. There was no excuse for him not to make that play in the pros.

Waaa! I missed a game winning foul shot because a fan yelled AIRBALL as I was about to shoot.

Waaa! I passed the ball to the wrong team because my opponent said "I'm open, I'm open" and I didn't look to see where I was throwing the ball first.

Waaa! The catcher was talking to me while I was getting ready to hit and I got called for strike one.

Waaa! The strong safety bumped me off 6 yards from scrimmage and got away with it.

Grow up!

UNBELIEVABLE

This is the most amazing thing I have ever seen....

Clemens Back with the Yanks

A lot of people have made a HUGE deal over this signing. People are for it, against it, embarrassed by it, disgusted by it, thrilled by it, you name it.

Some people can't stand the contractual terms allowing Clemens to leave his team between starts. Some people don't like the special treatment. Others point out that to sign arguably the best pitcher of our generation, you have to give a little more.

Here is my very simple view on this whole deal:

1. I don't personally know Roger Clemens or any other member of the NY Yankees at this time, nor do I expect I ever will.

2. I don't know or care how his coming and going looks to people.'

3. I don't care of he talks to other pitchers, players, etc...

4. I certainly don't care about the money since I am not writing the check - and don't give me the "you buy the tickets" BS argument. When I want to go to a game I will buy a ticket, when I don't want to I won't. If I cannot afford it, I won't go and I'll watch on TV like I do every night. This ticket price argument has always been stupid to me. Bottom line, you didn't sign a contract like the Yankees did, you don't HAVE to pay for a ticket!

It boils down like this -

If the Yankees win the World Series this year, then it was a good signing.
If the Yankees do not win the World Series this year, then it was an irrelevant signing.

The rest of it all is a bunch of crap.

$67 Million Dollar Suit

Not sure how many of you have read about this. I first heard about it on the radio this morning and then read about it this afternoon.

Full Story

For those who don't want to read it, here is my version:

Judge Roy Pearson, a pompous jackass judge with way too much time on his hands decided to sue the owners of a dry cleaners because they could not locate his pants. He did not just complain, nor did he accept his pants in return when they were found a few weeks later. He took advantage of his position as a member of the Bar and as a Judge and filed a feraking ridiculous 67 million dollar lawsuit against people who cannot even afford to defend themselves.

He has rejected settlement offers of $3,000, $4,600, and $12,000. His calculation of getting to $67 million is quite ridiculous and it will not hold up in court. That is not the point. He is costing the defendants thousands of dollars (though I have a feeling the free publicity may help them out once the suit is dismissed or ends in one way or another).

Clearly this so-called judge could care less about the money. He is intent on ruining these people. He is either a racist or just a vindictive bastard, or most likely both. This guy needs to be removed from the bench, disbarred, and sodomized by a green, AIDS infected monkey in Africa.

The end.

First Time Long Time

Been a few months... I've been busy. Big whoop, wanna fight about it?

Anyway, this is one of the funnier clips I have seen on youtube lately. It's immature and simple, but so damn funny.
