the end is in sight?

in case you are curious, yes, i am still printing. but there is a light and i almost see it.

at this point, i'd like to make this brief. the yankees are better than you. just remember that.

however, carl elliot is the man and therefore if it's the bottom of the 9th and you need 5 runs and have 2 outs, i'm pretty sure if you brought carl elliot into pinch hit, he would get you the 5 runs. why? because even though he is a college basketball player, he is the most clutch player i have seen since yesterday. regardless (holy self control), that shot was amazing and it's not often that your college is featured on espn top plays at #1 often if you are not a duke, unc or the like.

i'd like to say good bye to kirby puckett. kirby, we never met, but watching you play ball when i was a kid was awesome. from the catches you would make to the home runs you would hit to the smile on your face, it was clear you were a better person than ball player and you are a hall of fame ball player, so that makes you pretty damn special.

kirby puckett ran into some trouble once he left the game. i'd tell you what it was but i don't know and i don't care. the fond memories i have of him from a kid are what i attribute to the reasons why i have no recollection of his post career issues...that, or that 4 month span sophomore year where my jaw was locked and i liked to wear big, baggy pants with attaching strings for glow sticks...you make the call.

barry bonds...it was brought to my attention that last year i made the argument that we would never know for sure whether barry bonds did in fact use steroids...he is never going to hold a press conference to apologize, like giambi, so this book might be the closest we get to what the deal was...however, this is america, so don't believe everything you hear. should you choose to rip bonds to your friends or in the email or however, please read the book first and form your opinions from that. i'm not saying the information in the book isn't legit, i'm just saying draw your own conclusions fully informed....and realize that his ex-girlfriend is a provider of information on the book and that's just downright shady...why? because all chicks are crazy, especially ones mindfucked by barry bonds who claim he, in the past, choked her and said such pillow talk as "if you disappeared, no one would know". that's a dick comment but it would still mess with anyone.

lastly, if you trade for a pitcher midway through the baseball season and he has a great finish and is a major reason why you won the division, why wouldn't you give him a spot in the starting rotation? please, give chacon a spot in the rotation. it has to be that his contract isn't for millions over the next few years....and that's just flat out moronic.

i must leave you now, sorry for the lack of lunacy in todays post. when i am not so busy i can write more, but until then, please remember, hate is for the children and if you see spud master funk on the street, give the dog a pound.
