Sometimes thing bother me

On: Thursday, December 11, 2008

So, check it out. I know I don't often post cloumns, but I have been thinking alot at work and I had to voice my feelings. First, I'd like to wish you all a very Maury Christmas...

This had special meaning to me because I spent a lot of time during the last two years of college on a Lazy-Boy eating oreos and finding out who the father was of Natasha's baby. Anyway I was thinking about the Sabbathia deal today and it just made me laugh. Well, mostly what made me laugh was that while I was thinking about it I was listening to the 100th BS Report, which is a podcast by none other than the smartest man I've never met in person, Bill Simmons. I have to say, if you DON't listen to the BS Report, or podcast in general, you're an idiot. They are free, and they make shitty jobs 90% more enjoyable. The BS Report is the only thing that makes me consistently laugh out loud. I'm not sure if it's because life after college is just far less fun, or if it also has something to do with my life specifically, but I can only imagine that it's a little bit of both. Anyway, a couple good points were made during the section of the podcast where Bill talks to his buddy, and Yankee fan, from college, Jack-O. If you followed the trade talks at all, you know CC wanted to stay in the NL, in a smaller market, preferably in California. So, his agent comes back with and offer in New York, the AL, and the hugest market in baseball. Not to mention, here is an athlete that easily weighs twice as much as the reigning AL MVP, Little Dusty. I don't know if they worked out the contract yet, but rumor has it that Sabbathia has a stipulation in his contract where he also plays D tackle for the NY Giants twice a year, and represents the Yanks in Nathan's Hot Dog eating contest on Coney Island for the next 7 summers. (That's even if they trade him in the 5th year)That being said, I couldn't be happier the Yankees forced this dude to be on their team. What could be better than a guy who doesn't respond well to pressure (look at his playoff ERA and W-L record), who is out of shape, and will never dream of living up to his contract playing the city that eats athletes alive? I can't wait until opening day of the new stadium when Sabbathia goes 3IP with 5ER and 5BB. I hope they just burn the implode the place, with Brian Cashman and Hank Steinbrenner under it, and start the season brand new again, sharing the new Shea.

I will have more thoughts to come, but now I am going to drive over to my friend's parents house and eat dinner there, cause I'm broke and I haven't gone food shopping in a week and a half.
