Three strikes and I'm out....
Strike One -
Betcha the Portsmouth Little League "coach" is pissed he forgot to slap a kid around, like the other coach did in the LLWS (too lazy to look for a link, but it happened). Would have made for the "Gordie Howe Hat-Trick": punch a kid, throw a game to win on forfeit, and walk (TWICE) a kid intentionally in a LITTLE LEAGUE game. What a role model!!!!!!
The Little League World Series has officially become a trash sport. Like "Battle of the Network Stars". Let me explain:
I could forgive the Taiwanese team with the receding hairlines. I could forgive the 14 year old pitcher from the Bronx who was supposed to be so A-W-E-S-O-M-E (drafted in...like....the 350th round in this year's MLB draft). I could forget the constant spitting by kids who had nothing to spit (note to LL'ers: tobacco juice must be spit out lest it cause a massive vomiting attack. Gum juice does NOT have to be spit out.) I loved the Burroughs kid, Cody Webster and the future hockey player leading their towns to world championships. But hey, enough is enough.
This year: 1) Harold Reynolds, the voice of the LLWS, was tossed by ESPN for serial sexual harrassment. 2) a coach slapped a player across the face during a game. 3) a newspaper writer suggested in all seriousness that the LLers get paid. G-E-T- P-A-I-D (again, too lazy/tired to look for the link, but it happened. maybe on deadspin is a link...). 4) the saga of Portsmouth NH...not exactly bringing honor to the state or the game.
I have watched not one single second of this trash sport of a tournament, instead following the media accounts. Maybe they could get a Cosell imitator to announce the finals. I'm sure something embarrassing will happen. Just as Cosell would have wanted.
=====================================
Strike Two -
Does Globo-Mart focus their hiring on ex-bank tellers? Or do ex-Globo-Mart employees tend to work as bank tellers in their next job(s)?
The wonderfulness, the shear joy of entering both establishments leads me to believe there is some sort of synergistic relationship going on there. Just an opinion.
=====================================
Strike Three -
Deion Branch is CLEARLY in the wrong in holding out with the Pats. He is in the last year of his rookie five year contract. Some teams are willing to renegotiate during a player's contract year, preseason. For a franchise guy like Seymour or Brady, making them happy makes perfect sense. For a very good, but hardly irreplaceable wide receiver like Branch, former Super MVP, it's maybe not a good option depending on how much he wants and how hard he is to replace. I don't think the Pats won/loss record would be more than a game or perhaps two different without Branch. That may be the difference between the club making the playoffs and staying home, but the point is that the guy signed a contract, has performed well but is no Jerry Rice, and will be rewarded after the season with a sweet deal. I, Mr. Lefitst, support BB and Pats management. Branch is supposed to make more than a mill this season. Not much if he was a backup catcher on the Yankees or something, but different sports have different salary structures. In the NFL, thanks to Bryant Gumbel's main squeeze Gene Upshaw, the salary structure says that Deion is worth what he signed for. Gumbel was RIGHT: Upshaw has given the NFL Players union the short end of the stick, but thems the cardz to be played right now for Deion Branch. If he has a big year, then he gets the big money. The longer he sits out, the more likely he is to have a crappy year and sign for crappy short term money and a tiny (the only guaranteed bucks in the league) signing bonus.
Get to camp, Deion! It's for the best all the way around.
=======================================
Ball Four -
It seems the entire state of Maine's highway system is under construction.
Then why, in He Who Has No Name's Name, is exit 15 on 295 Southbound not getting a friggin onramp? I simply can't believe there aren't a dozen accidents a month up there. I used to have to go to Yarmouth a couple times a week, and always avoided this onramp. Because. There. Is. No. On. Ramp. Fer Chris' sakes.
There IZ no onramp on exit 15 southbound on 295. It's a complete crapshoot as to whether you should stop, and get rearended by cars behind you, or continue and try to merge in the 18 inches they give you, and risk getting run over by a semi, driven by that dude up north who was, as I remember, on crack, speed, booze, downers, Pepsi, antidepressants, Tums and whatever the fudge else he could get his hands on.
Give Yarmouth an onramp. For the love of what's-his-name.
