FIRST OFF.. WE ARE BACK IN OCRE AND RIPPING BASSTIN..
I CURRENTLY HATE THE RED SOX MORE THAN UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS
i was tested for ADD once when i was in 5th grade. they put me in a room with plain white walls, one pencil, one chair, and a test. it was decided that day that i didn't have the condition. i passed the test in a room full of nothing to distract me. leave me one extra pencil or pink pearl eraser and i bomb that thing like Baghdad. plus the test was kind of difficult, which holds my attention. make it easy or boring and i finish about 40% of it..tops. think of it this way..a very talented drunk person can pass the field sobriety test.... so passing the test doesn't make them sober..it just shows their coordination..such is the case with me..i feel that an attention aid medicine might make me a more effective worker, tester, communicator, but definitely not blogger. the spirit of this blog is that you have no idea why but each thought abandons the last with no regard for flow. which is in itself..a new flow.. a rhythm to which no teacher, writer dare give praise. it is purely thought on paper. that is why for me, it is good. editing would bore me.. and i would blog even less frequently.
FANS ILLUSION
Facial hair. tobacco. mean streak. the truth about professional sports is ignored by the fans. i think it is ignored on a case-by-case standard. take the world series red sox.."Cowboy Up!" they said. this cry came from their bearded burly faces, dripping with tobacco spit and anger. it sold a lot of t-shirts and built them into this hard-working blue collar team. really? really variteck? those junior varsity goatees made you all tough, red neck, and blue collar? its kind of like America was tricked since the turn of the millennium in to thinking that being unclean makes you tougher or more American. when did flat tops and clean cut faces go from all-American to pretty boy pansy? don't get me wrong, a good nasty ungroomed beard makes me grit my teeth, spit, cuss, and grunt but these are very wealthy city men dressing up in tight pants and trying to trick us into thinking this is just a game they play, and that they will leave the ball park go home check on the horses and nestle in to their farm house for a nights rest before tending to the crops and chickens at dawn and branding cattle by noon. they are for the most part millionaire posers who leave in their range rovers, & escalades to their suburb homes to have a few cocktails & wind down. please do not misunderstand me. i am not bitter, and i am not saying that these guys are not hard working but the illusion is that they are any different than the clean shavin Yankees in the other dugout...they are the same except that they are not nearly as successful or good at their jobs as most of the Yankees. paychecks in sports are the weirdest paychecks in just about any business. if you are good you get a raise ever couple years(gay-rod, manny, pedro martinez) as well one should.. BUT if you used to be good the texas rangers will sign you to a contract for the great things you did in the past with huge expectations for you but no consequence if you end up sucking(long list but chan-ho, asosymmas). if you suck to begin with the A's sign you and make you good and then sell you to someone else where you'll suck again(everyone for 10 years).. if you really suck but dont want to let it go you can play for peanuts in the minors or go to japan where you have no choice but to be good or they will kill you(chris farley, & the man the myth the mustache..mr baseball himself, tom "P.I." Selick.)
about owners.. people dont buy popular sports teams to become rich.. rich people buy sports teams to become popular... that is why owners are like drug junkies.. in other words.. players get more and more money because if the talented players stop playing... the game goes away with it.. but if the owners just stopped paying the talented players..a new league would start in three days that would pay A-ROD 200 grand an at-bat and millions would watch because the owners need each specific player.. there is always a billionaire hoping to start the next new york franchise... but cant nobody can play shortstop for the yanks like jeter.
stay classy new york...
thanks for stopping by...
but most of all stay classy

Saturday night at Fenway is going to go off.
Can I say "Kill the Indians" on this blog and not be racist or can I play my Indian card here. Voting member of the Tribe, but not that lame Lofton tribe. A real one. That traded their land for muskets.
Wish I had a musket.
one of my readers is a proud native american and louisiana just elected an Indian governor...so i dont find it appropriate..not to mention i grew up with a smiling indian hat cemented to my abnormally large head.. JUST A BIT OUTSIDE.. LITTLE CHIN MUSIC MICAH!
Indians also make superb swimmers. I never lost a single bout in heated, dis-func, sharks and minnows in the late 90s
Fear the turbin, quit swervin and its getting that time of year to start drinking burbon.
