I, Jason Cleghorn, am hereby announcing my retirement from Major League Baseball today after 14 years of play. Oh wait, that's right I didn't play in the major leagues. I had some talent(OK not much but some). But what really sickens me, as someone who spent a million hours on an Alabama red clay field with 100 degree temps and 98% humidity, hitting soft toss until my hands bled, or catching pop flies until I couldn't hold up my glove anymore, or running until I couldn't puke anymore, is that THESE guys took the place of friends that I had that didn't quite make it.
Life isn't fair and all that bullshit, but I just have to look back in anger ($1 to Oasis) and wonder if my friends that DID have talent and whose idea of performance enhancing drugs was a pinch of snuff, SHOULD have been the A-Rods of this day. We'll never know how many of these guys don't belong in the major leagues.
But I know that for many of us, that baked in that Alabama heat for the love of the game, these losers cheated us all.

A is for Asshole!
ReplyDeleteThank you Alex for your brilliant plays induced by a some good ole fashioned needle filled pastime.
Alex, I shit on you and I am ashamed that you once played (I use that loosely) for the Texas Rangers. I am even more ashamed of the bureuacracy that we allow in professional sports with players unions trying to cover for you fucking scumbags.
Alex, I hope you get fucked like the whores you hang out with you sorry bastard.
Cheaters never prosper.
ReplyDeleteWait.... Sike, he sure did! Thus, yet another misconstrued philosophy in this world. ...And we are left to simply "deal with it." Just like our parents used to tell us.
Wow. I just bummed myself out.
