GODDAMN!!

For a sport that supposed to be the apple pie of Americana, it sure stings
to watch the Cubs and Sox get pinched out once again. Our country is
supposed to stand for the rights of the little guy, the Reaganesque idea
that 'everyone can grow up to be a millionaire', the level playing field
where hard work and pureness of spirit pay off. But being a new englander,
and living in the shadow of the obtuse Great Satan with (as Forty put so
eloquently) its thuggish fans and overpaid prima donnas (and not just in
baseball), it is just abso****inglutely unfair and unamerican to put the
good people of the northeast through the yearly torture of building up
their
hopes, filling them with small town pride and honor, then ripping their
hearts out with those filthy hands and stomping on them, laughing with
those
stupid new york accents and spewing their disgusting sense of 'I got it
all
and I want more' into the humble, pure country air of New England.

Argh. Unless you grew up in upper right hand corner, you have no idea of
the
reality of how this affects your life each year, to see the hated, fat
cat,
overpampered, flabby-armed new yorkers get their selfish, perverse little
way, once agian, in one more way at the expense of everyone around them. I
don't *care* who got the most runs....once again, the Bosox DESERVED to
win.
This is just....so.....wrong!!

Absolutely true.

I disagree. There was a period in my life that I really enjoyed
baseball, and I do understand it perfectly. Nowadays I find it boring
for the most part. I blame it on gaining an understanding of hockey. ;-)

To my mind, the best post of the day. Let all the professional athletes go
play with each other for no money and donate their salaries to teachers
instead.

God. The one you trust your budding teenage daughter to at all hours works
for a pittance, and the one you wouldn't trust you ugly arthritic
grandmother to gets paid millions. Go figure.

And I once did. Right up until the second player strike. The first
one, well, okay, they were doing stuff like pensions for the old
timers who never had a chance to have a million dollar contract as
well as taking care of themselves. It made decent PR. But since
then, phtoooie on the players, the owners, the whole greedy bunch of
them.

BTW, I've not noticed kids out anywhere doing a pickup game of
baseball in forever. Street hockey, street soccer, garage
basketball, but not pickup baseball. They're playing, but with mom
and dad taking them to practice and the games and with coaches and all
that crud. How are you going to get the spirit of baseball when
you've got a real diamond and people watching and coaches telling you
stuff? Not to mention uniforms.

I quit watching baseball on TV when all the teams put billboards behind
home plate, and without the regular contact with the game that TV
provided, my interest has slowly dissipated.
