teacher v. student


There is nothing i enjoy more in baseball than a pitching duel, but evrytime i expect one i never get it. the problem here is i have to get one tonight, Halladay v. Burnett, because look at this fucking line up that The Yankees are crapping out onto the field tonight, i mean, seriously, what kind of Yankee line up is this to throw up against motherfucking Halladay??? yesterday was an off day,and i was relaxed, but at 5 this evening my blood is already boiling. fuck me in advance......

seriously, gardner leading off??? (are we going to the dl, jeter? probably...) and then you have melky (no swisher?) kevin fucking cash (who?) and the kid pena at the bottom of the order. i've seen scranton teams stronger than this, i mean, this IS half of the scranton line up..... it's either an idiot or an old man at every position, take your pick with this fucking team. as long as burnett pitches 9 scoreless innings, i think the yankees have a slight chance................................

7:44 pm- so far, so good. no hits through three innings, for both teams. shit, it's already the 4th inning- a half hour into the game. i can get behind that!

8:08 pm- Burnett has his nervous breakdown inning, he has one evry start, and gives up three runs. uh- oh, Swisher is pinch hitting for Matsui in the 5th, word is it's a hamstring pull for Matsui, say hi to posada and molina and wang and marte and bruney and nady and ransom and whoever else is on the DL this week. how weird is it to see fans in the upper decks of the skydome? and how much of an asshole is that guy who blows an air horn before burnett releases every single pitch??? fucking canadians, just because there are no canadian teams in the nhl playoffs , doesn't mean you have to ruin my fucking sport... i wish i had a passport, i'd love to run up to toronto and catch a game, tickets are still as cheap as $12 a game up there.

9:29 pm- well, Halladay steamrolled The Yankees. no surprise. the good news is that this game was just a touch over two hours long. the bad news is that if toronto keeps winning, halladay won't be sold off to The Yankees. but as far as time is concerned, this is how baseball should be.quicker... 162 games at about 2 - 2 1/2 hours each is tolerable. Skydome (or whatever it is now) was fucking rocking tonight, over 43,000 fans is impressive for them. impressive for anyone, this year. used to be a time when toronto and baltimore and tampa bay were second homes to The Yankees, but those band wagon fans in every city have finally decided they might as well support their own home teams- it can't get any worse than supporting The Yankees.....

oh man...were over a billion dollars spent on a stadium....and then another billion spent on players in the past decade....and the yankees have the nerve to play a game with those guys. you guys do know barry bonds is available for a paltry 20 mil right?

that takes some balls, too bad the sox don't accept bandwagon fans or we'd let you in.

anyways, yawn ...sox win.

hey bro james, get that passport and beers at the skydome are on me...might have to be a sox game though, i remember a time when i would go see the yankees play but that was when they had like five former mvps on the team...i wont pay to see the current assclowns.

you know, what they need is a boat that goes from charlotte across lake ontario to toronto... hmmm, maybe i'll call the chamber of commerce...
