If you are thinking that Doomsday has arrived for me because MANNYWOOD has been accused of cheating to keep his wood good and strong[ll] then you are sorely mistaken. El beisbol is the one who is suffering and so are the fans. No player is bigger than the game, but the game itself is altered. Even in a recession economy there are people paying a monthly mortgage to occupy seats in stadium for only a few hours.
Do those people give a fuck what any player does off the field, as long as it doesn’t hurt their performance when the captains of industry are sitting in those twenty five hundred dollar seats? BARRY, ROGER. ALEX and now MANNY are the best at what they do and if they could do it every single time they put on the uniform wouldn’t that make most fans happier than clams in shit? Did I just get the metaphor fucked the fuck up? You are gotdamn right I did, because beisbol doesn’t have their mind right either.
I wouldn’t mind seeing the economy of the game collapse especially since I always have to read in the papers about how players have ruined beisbol. These sorry sack cokehead sportswriters are total tools of the ownerships that own the daily rags these asshats write for. Players have yet to fuck the game up. Ownership is too busy doing that at every turn. If ALEX RODRIGUEZ wasn’t getting paid $30 million a year do you think the tickets and concessions at the new ballfield in the Bronx would be any cheaper?
There are three elements to sport. 1) The players, 2) The fans, 3) The people that capitalize on the relationship between 1 and 2. How great would beisbol be if there weren’t these overlords that sought to bleed the fans atr every turn for every dollar? The emotional connection from the players and fans of the game is to strong to break. A strike couldn’t do it and neither will steroids. Meanwhile BARRY BONDS, the greatest home run hitter of our generation is retired en situ, and ROGER CLEMENS is one flashback from CHRIS BENOIT’ing his family all because they gave the people what they wanted.
You want to tell me that these guys are overcompensated douchebags and you are prA’li right, but the team owners are sacks of shit 10x bigger than GAY-ROD sucking his own face in a mirror.

I do find it funny the difference between player/organization relationships in baseball and football. Baseball has lost it’s place as the National Pastime. America’s about gangsta rule not little guys doing what they want.
Are these sportswriters ever going to begin asking about how ‘tainted’ the NFL is??? We all know America is drugged up, but these guys want to feign ignorance.
I’m sure Alex is smiling because the spotlight has just shifted away from him . . . a little. I’m sure the sports reporters will begin to ask Big Papi how he feels.
I love the game of baseball and other sports…but I hate the business. You are 100% correct. If these players were all mediocre and didn’t put up the absurd numbers and shatter records on the reg (across all sports) then cats wouldn’t drool over sportscenter and keep eyes locked to sports tickers. Sportswriters might as well be tossed into the pool of media cats blowing shit out of proportion. Regardless of the situation, cats seem to always bounce back and continue on. It almost seems as if the substance policies are either out of control, or cats are being pushed to the brink of living the credo “WHATEVER IT TAKES” just to stack paper…
Shit, if people were throwing around numbers like 20million to me and I found myself in a slump…the lure of taking some enhancers to maintain the comma’s in my check would become stronger.
Love the game, Hate the politricks.
Nice vid! It reminded me of the sensation I used to feel opening all those packs of baseball cards back in the 1980’s.
easy on the A-Rod jokes. Its not the steroids its the head whop and tantric sex with Madonna that makes this dudes powers rival most DC comics characters- besides Batman and the cats in the Justice League.A-Rod=Galactus of MLB
