Goodness gracious sakes alive (as the great John Wooden use to say)What are we doing here...August?First question, why weren't the Olympics scheduled for the two weeks right before the NFL Season started? Now we're stuck with three weeks of just baseball and pre-season NFL talk. Look, I love baseball, but all this talk about the second wildcard doesn't exactly make the hair on the back of my neck stand up. What can we do? Who really cares about the last roster spot on the Rams? It doesn't matter...it really really doesn't. And on a side note, you know when your high school coach said, "We're only as strong as our weakest link"....he was full of sh%$...the Bulls were as strong as Jordan and Pippen...they weren't as strong as Bill Winnington ...Ohh, and laughing during practice...it's a good thing. And as for a coach that screams all the time...to quote Dimitri Martin, "Raising your voice, it's the second best thing to being right."
We need a guy to do commercials with Bo Diddly and break a bat over his knee, run up the out field wall and tell us, Bo Knows! Canseco was a nut job, but at least he was colorful...Tim
"Rock" Raines...just Google why he has that nickname...George Brett and Wade Boggs..men's men!
What are we left with? The laugh out loud antics of the comic genius of Albert Pujols, Josh Hamilton and Miguel Cabrera?? Bryce Harper has to start hitting? Can he please? Or, is that a Clown Question, bro? Gimme something...a story and back flip...at least a good baseball movie...nothing?
Then,
we're going to have to settle for wildcard talk and how some un-drafted
rookie can really make his mark on special teams...there is not a way
in any reality that I could possibly care less about either. How long
till the Rams begin their inevitable march toward 5-11? When is the
first wildcard round? The NLCS? The series? Well, they ain't in August.
They all seem so far away in a distant future blocked by twelve hour
days and way too much Law and Order Criminal Intent...I
could read, and yes I do you sarcastic ass...and I do go outside...but I
love sports, and I'm not going to apologize about complaining for this
lull. Gimme something...gimme a story about an Eddie Jones or Shawn Kemp
comeback...tell me that Kirk Gibson choked out one of his relievers
after giving up a 3-run shot in the 8th...I need
something...anything...please??-Will Saulsbery
