Baseball


Cry, cry, cry, bitches.

I'm gonna talk about baseball today. And maybe football, but probably not. I would talk about the Frost family, but I get so fucking mad I can't see when I think about that story. You can find plenty of links to that, most of which contain far better writing than you'll see here. Sorry no-empathy-having motherfuckers on the extreme right. Fuck 'em. Fuck 'em all.

Anyway, the princelings of the Bronx got eliminated from the Major League Baseball postseason last night in a game that was far more one-sided than the final score would lead you to believe. The goddamn announcers were almost pulling for the Yankees--when they pulled to within three runs of the Indians, they were beside themselves with glee, saying stupid shit like "the Yankees are right back in this thing!" Uh, assholes? They're still down by three scores. Calm the fuck down. TBS announcers at the Yankee game: Fuck 'em.

Of course, the TBS announcers are nothing compared to the Yankee announcers. Suzyn Waldman broke down and cried on the air after the game. That's right. Cried. Over a team that she doesn't play for losing a game in which they played like shit from the opening pitch. Yankee announcers: Fuck 'em.

The crowd reaction shots at the end of the game, however, were priceless. All these smug, arrogant Yankee fans were just crushed that their team of superstars had just had their asses handed to them by Cleveland. "Cleveland? Isn't that somewhere close to St. Louis? Who's from there, anyway?" Yankee fans: Fuck 'em.

And fuck Joe Torre, crying little bitch. All things considered, though, he's head and shoulders above George Steinbrenner in the Quality-of-Human-Being department. Steinbrenner may be the worst boss since employers shot striking workers and their families. He's such an asshole, he could easily transition into a job with the Bush Administration--probably something like Secretary of Fucking Over Children Who Need Healthcare. That'd be right up his street. I hope the Yankees stay in the AL East cellar until that prick's mouldering in his grave. George Steinbrenner: Fuck 'im.

So that's my 2007 ALDS wrap-up. I hope Boston goes on to win the series, but I wouldn't mind seeing Cleveland take it all, either.

And, once again, just for the late, great Steve Gilliard: Fuck the fuckin' Yankees!
