Hossa is out partying when I thought he might be suicidal.
Cabrera is out getting wasted before a must-win game.
I mean.
What a joke.
If the players don't care, why should we?
I hate me.
It was a realization similar to this a long time ago that made me change the way I view sports permanently. Mine had more to do with the corporate side of things and how fucking stupid I was for much of the same reasons you've detailed here and in the other Tiger thread.
I finally realized that being pissed off/upset/sad a LOT more than I'll ever be happy for some stupid organization that is more interested in getting my money was not worth it anymore.
Sports are a nice distraction and I'll get into them here and there... but this whole idea that teams are WORTH rooting for unconditionally is so fucking stupid. I'll never go back to being that way. They are not worth that kind of time/energy/sacrifice.
The losses hurt way more than the wins feel good when you are in that mode. At least that is how it was for me.
One example: When the Pistons won a championship in 89, I was ridiculously happy for a few weeks and then it fades (though it does remain). The year before when they lost to the Lakers a game after that shitty Laimbeer/Jabbar incident, I was probably upset for two months.
Fuck that.
I was already in the mode I am now in 2004-2005 during the Pistons run and I can still say that the championship is one of my favorite sports memories of all time... but those losses in the finals the next year STILL felt way worse than 2004 felt good.
Miguel might want to go 4-5 with 2 HRs and 5 RBI today.
Holy shit. _________________ To a 5'6" guy in AFFLICTION gear? Are you serious? No problem. Bring them to me. Tossing midgets is fun. There's a kid at the gym that I go to who rocks a UFC hat and all this other garbage. He probably weights a buck 40. It would be hilarious.
And, yes, I'm kidding. _________________ To a 5'6" guy in AFFLICTION gear? Are you serious? No problem. Bring them to me. Tossing midgets is fun. There's a kid at the gym that I go to who rocks a UFC hat and all this other garbage. He probably weights a buck 40. It would be hilarious.
He could have been balls deep in a hooker's asshole last night and they wouldn't trade him.

Stop.
Maybe.
Maybe not.
Just sit back and think about it for a second.
If UNDENIABLE evidence came out that he was getting wasted the night before THAT game, you don't think they would CONSIDER moving him for the right price?
By the way, Sea the Stars was ridiculously good today in the Arc de Triomphe. Best horse I have seen since Dubai Millenium.
That had no business being in this thread, just wanted the Stoney readers to get their daily dose of horse racing knowledge. _________________ Did they shoot your horse?
If undeniable evidence comes out that forces the Tigers to trade him for Manny Ramirez or Albert Pujols or some other stud fine.
It's not going to happen though.
Even if he did 100 shots on Friday night. _________________ To a 5'6" guy in AFFLICTION gear? Are you serious? No problem. Bring them to me. Tossing midgets is fun.

Look, DRUNK the guy is a better hitter than ANYONE else on the team.
But on the last day of the season, with the team TIED for first place and in the middle of a monumental meltdown (not choke), the GM is answering questions if his best player was ARRESTED this weekend!!!!
And the GM couldn't even confirm that the dude WASN'T ARRESTED.
Unfuckingreal. _________________ Did they shoot your horse?
There's always the fact that he's 5 for 22 between a week ago today and his wife kicking his ass on Friday night. Don't really care if he drops acid and sticks his head in a toaster oven. I'm much more concerned that's he's 5 for 22 during a 6 game stretch at this point in the season.
Was he arrested? _________________ To a 5'6" guy in AFFLICTION gear? Are you serious? No problem. Bring them to me. Tossing midgets is fun. There's a kid at the gym that I go to who rocks a UFC hat and all this other garbage. He probably weights a buck 40. It would be hilarious.
The Sox must think he's sober because they just walked him. _________________ To a 5'6" guy in AFFLICTION gear? Are you serious? No problem. Bring them to me. Tossing midgets is fun.

If it was [Shani's Husband] with the scratches on his nose I would point out that Babe Ruth drank 5ths like guys nowadays drink Gatorade. _________________ Sanity is the delusion of the rational.
There have been 20 to 40 people browsing all day long. Mostly guests obviously.
The thing about this is, once it is on AOL it will go viral and we probably will continue to get traffic from this nonsense.
Pudge Rumor should really take his phone number down.
Although knowing that kid, he would enjoy the attention. Maybe he can meet some new friends to take to the Tigers suite. _________________ Did they shoot your horse?
I started to type something when he posted it because spam bots come through and steal email addresses.... but then I thought about it and I don't think they go after phone numbers.
I didn't anticipate Next Level happening when I did that this morning.
