Is this man laughing?
Or is he screaming in pain at the genocide of his family and the misappropriation of his culture?
Or did he just win a grip on the Baccharat table at the Stone Mountain reservation casino?
I’m going with the third choice because that’s the happy ending that white folks in Atlanta like.
With my mother now residing in A-Town I have become sort of a bi-regional blogger (no Pharoe Monch). This isn’t a problem with me during football season as long as the Falcons keep weed smoking RON MEXICO in their uniform, but there is no way I can find myself rooting for an A-Town team during baseball season. The past fifteen years of Atlanta’s dominance in the National League east division has been too tortuous to mitigate as a lifelong Mets’ fan. What more can I say? Atlanta might have one of the best scouting systems in major league baseball rivaling the Yankees, and even the Los Angeles Dodgers. They arguably have the best manager in the game. Is there anyone who handles ballplayers better than BOBBY COX (nullus)?
I just can’t bring myself to embrace the Braves and HENRY AARON is one of my lifetime idols. I’ve had mixed feelings this season watching BARRY BONDS inch his way closer to owning the crown as the greatest home run slugger of all time. It’s a record he certainly deserves no matter what anyone says. I wish that BARRY BONDS were the type of player that KEN GRIFFEY Jr. is/was. KEN GRIFFEY’s principles and his respect for the game seemed similar to HANK AARON’s. I suppose I’m being unfair in my assessment of BONDS character since I’ve never talked to the man, but my impressions are usually spot on. Being a Hall of Famer in baseball never meant that you couldn’t also be a selfish prick as well. Hell, TY COBB and half the Hall would have their busts removed from that building.
I’ll be in Atlanta during the middle of August and I plan on catching a ballgame when San Francisco comes to Turner Field on the 16th. Maybe BARRY BONDS will become the kind of guy that says that his job was easier by players like AARON and MAYS, instead of just reflecting on his dad who was in every sense of the word a weedcarrier for the ‘Say Hey Kid’. Maybe BONDS will hit his 756th home run? Maybe ANDRUW JONES will strike out looking? Maybe ‘The Hammer’ will show up?
That would be a good day. No, that would be a great day.
