Excuses, Excuses…
Friday, March 6th, 2009A-Rod tore his labrum, whatever that is. What really matters here is that he will be out of service for quite some time. Aside from the fact that the Yankees are fielding an old-timers team, this gives A-Roid the perfect excuse to lay low while the whole steroids controversy blows over. The last thing the aging Pinstripes need is more scrutiny in year when they are most certainly going to answering a ton of questions about their inflated payroll and the organizations inability to reach the playoffs.
Straw Man Speaks
Wednesday, March 4th, 2009Darryl Strawberry admits that he would have done steroids if he played today. I would categorize this story in the column of “NO SHIT!” D-Straw is a man who is very familiar with the narcotics trade. In fact, it is probably a given that he had at least seen steroids at some point in the eighties and didn’t realize it because he was trippin so hard on his own chemical concoction. Asking Darryl if he would do steroids is like asking Shaq if he likes the Hometown Buffett. It’s a no brainer!
Bleeding like a sieve
Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009It looks as if the NBA is not the only league that is on the verge of a major shake up. The NY Daily News has an article looking at the imminent threat of contraction for MLB and the most likely candidates to disappear are the A’s and the Marlins. It all comes back to one basic human flaw : greed. Most of the problems the world is facing today is a direct result of greed and self interest. Professional sports is just an extension of the way our society acts and feels. Things like recessions aren’t really felt and made real until our outlets like sports are affected. Every thing seems fine and dandy until your favorite team just up and disappears. Whatever happens to these franchises is deserved. No one or no organization is entitled to anything.
Oil Spill
Monday, February 23rd, 2009Oil Can Boyd is ready to make another run at it. The 49 year old has been out of the majors since 1992, but has been sputtering around in various leagues and tours ever since. Apparently, Mike Stanley says he still has that nasty weird stuff that make batters blink twice. This is a good chance for MLB to prove that it can still feature drug free athletes that compete at the highest level. Face it, we are tired of seeing bulging roid freaks shooting balls into outer space. How about we take it back a notch and watch middle age wash ups throw goofy junk for a few months? It can’t really hurt the image of baseball could it?
Smoking Bud
Friday, February 13th, 2009Bud Selig might suspend A-Roid for admitting he took steroids. I don’t normally give two shits about baseball or the idiot commissioner that runs the sport, but this is too much to pass up. Bud Selig will go down as the worst commissioner in the history of pro sports after it’s all said and done. He has allowed the rampant steroid use to go unchecked for years and now that the sport is crumbling in the wake of yet another superstar coming clean, he comes and out and pulls this. Now I am no A-Roid defender, but this statement by Selig reeks of inequity. First he needs to release the whole list. There are no secrets in the game anymore if it stands any chance at all at regaining credibility and integrity. And if he suspends A-Roid for coming clean, then he MUST suspend everyone on that list. They are no less guilty than he is.
Hall of random bronze heads?
Thursday, February 12th, 2009Joe Posnanski at SI is arguing that steroids should not prevent a player from entering the Baseball Hall of Fame. At this point, I am finding it harder and harder to disagree with him. I mean what the hell is the Hall of Fame anyway? Is it like some kind of time capsule so that if aliens came down from another planet we could show them our best players ever? Who exactly are we preserving these legacies for? In 500 years, I highly doubt that anyone will give a rat’s ass about some statues that will be a mile under the Atlantic ocean. By that time, our “national past time” will be transporting our cocks through time and space and gathering vagina dust to power our zeeble nabbers.
Nuclear Rocket
Friday, January 30th, 2009Roger Clemens is a certified psychopath. Either that or he is the most competitive individual of all time. According to Yankee trainer Steve Donahue, before pitching Clemens would first take a whirlpool that gave him third degree burns. After scalding his skin sufficiently, the Rocket would then have Icy Hot applied to his BALLS. Yes that is correct. Every teen boy’s nightmare is what gets Roger Clemens excited. I have to say that his wife must be a helluva woman. Between the ball burns and the roid rage, I cannot imagine what a Wednesday afternoon was like in the Clemen’s household.
Another drug dealer defuses the Rocket
Wednesday, January 21st, 2009Kirk Radomski is an admitted steroids dealer that testified before a grand jury that Brian McNamee is telling the truth. Apparently Radomski is the one who taught McNamee everything he knew about HGH. This could be the biggest story in baseball in years, culminating in the conviction and defamation of a first ballot hall of fame candidate and the best witness they can find is a guy who knew a guy? Frankly the whole thing is beyond boring at this point. Anyone who still eats without the assistance of a handler knows that Clemens is guilty. The only thing remaining to be seen is whether or not our justice system is going to spit out another hilarious acquittal that is so clearly purchased through back door deals and shady litigation. God Bless America!
