Or monkey off his back?

WOW!!!! That’s a hell of a game, and a hell of a win. I’ll try and get something out for Monday.

   And yes it was exciting. From a fans standpoint. But fuck those conditions. I don’t even like football in that shit. I want to see the best athletes in the world play in conditions that allow them to demonstrate their exceptional abilities and showcase the talent and teamwork that got them there in the first place.

   If Bud Selig was commissioner of the NBA, he would put green outdoor carpet on the floor and turn on the fire extinguishers if he thought he could squeeze some more blood money out of television.

   He is the worst fucking thing to happen to MLB since Kennisaw Mountain Landis. Worse than Bowie Kuhn, though not by much. Kuhn was too stupid to be sneaky and conniving, unlike Buttfuck Bud, the Emperor that made airlifting frozen custard a right, and the loiterer in the commissioner’s office the highest paid player in the MLB

   I fucking hope it blizzards in New York and Philadelphia for 40 fucking days and 40 fucking nights and that Derek Jeter and Shane Victorino have a head-on collison at 2b just about the time Dick Clark starts drooling down the remaining seconds to the New Year from Times Square

   On your second point (“the weather in the east is not fit for man, beast nor baseball”) I agree. Selig is responsible for the ridiculous fact that the World Series will not be completed until November. That wasn’t the original idea that Alexander Cartwright had in mind. Still, the other side has to play on the same field, no matter how cold, or rainy, or windy. You don’t get to negotiate this point. They put the schedule in front of you. You have two choices – your bitter whining, or, “If they tell us to play these guys on the moon, we’ll play them on the fucking moon…”

     You’re right about both sides having to play on the same field under the same conditions. And if you were playing in Nagasaki on August 9, 1945 you would have been fried to a fucking radioactive crisp.

     Thats TV Bud. Everything for the cameras. Or more correctly, everything that streams the highest amount of dollars into the dickface owners wallets. Selig doesn’t pay himself more than Barry Zitpuck for nothing you know.

     The whole scheduling thing is a pet fucking peeve of mine.

     First off, if you’re going to have an international baseball tournament, wait until after the World Series and hold it in the southern hemispher…. like Australia or South America.

     Playing the WBC in its current format is a fucking disgrace. Little better than a tv studio game show.

     And it all backs up on the playoffs, pitchers arms, and basically turns the playoffs into a mash unit survivor series.

     I watched all 13 innings of that joke of a game between the Yankees and Angels. Fucking 40 degrees, mud, rain, and one o fucking clock on the east coast taking 5 fucking hours. Horrible umpiring, shitty fielding because of the rain, rain, cold, rain and just stupid shit conditions.

     If you think its bad now, just wait and watch if its Phil and NYY in the WS

     Good fucking luck
