Hey, Hey. Is anyone else annoyed by people who take non-serious things WAY too seriously? This behavior stretches across all avenues but is bothersome to me all the same. When people feel the need to be offended by something just to show that they have liberal/progressive views, when in reality they're just grandstanding in front of a group of people trying to show them how much better they are...listen, you are NO dignified gallant. You are an asshole, and everybody hates you. How about people who read a stupid blog on the Internet (not unlike Webby Files) and dissect every line pointing out its flaws and shortcomings while professing some great truth on how they know more about situations that have nothing to do with them as opposed to the actual insider who went through it all. There's a place waiting for you... And on a smaller level (size is a matter of opinion I guess), the guys on 16 inch softball teams who slide cleats-up into a girl while wearing eye black, wristbands, high socks, and baseball pants. (Aaron Rowands). These people all have one thing in common. They take NON-serious things way too seriously...and probably have no interest in the opposite sex.

Speaking of softball, I play in a radio league on Tuesday nights with some friends "in the business" and we had another solid victory last night improving our record to 5-2. A very pedestrian 8-5 win over The Loop. I was a quiet 2 for 2 with a sac fly and 2 RBI's. I also slid into a girl at 2B cleats-up breaking up a double play, crashed into the wall in center while making a running catch, and then ran out of our dugout to argue with the umpire over the amount of pine tar on my bat. It was a quality Tuesday evening at the ballpark.

I watched about 3 innings of the All-Star game last night. How about those St. Louis Cardinals fans down there? What a bunch of enablers. Come on, first the love affair with McGwire, now Pujols? You don't think he's clean do you? I'd like to think that fans of certain players from the 90's wouldn't be fooled twice if they got another shot at a barbarian on their roster, but hey, the Cards fans have proved me wrong once again. I read recently that finally after 11 years they're considering the removal of the Mark McGwire Honorary Highway in downtown St. Louis. I'd be happy if they just got rid of that stupid "Big Mac" sign in the upper deck of left field. Pujols is by far the best player that I have ever seen, but that man looks "jacked up." I absolutely love the direction that baseball is going however. Slowly but surely, the baseball "athlete" is coming back. I plan on seeing a lot more Grady Sizemore/Hanley Ramirez/Dustin Pedroia, and a lot less David Ortiz/Manny Ramirez/Jim Thome. It's good for the game, me thinks.

It's been fun. Please hit me up on facebook or in the comments section of this blog. Right now I'm enjoying "Senor and the Queen" by The Gaslight Anthem. Quality. Drinks of Choice: It's sunny in Chicago, something Mexican. Tecate?

Peace the F.
