weird

Also, I hate our representative fanbase.

Could not agree more. My wife was insisting on listening to WFAN the other day and some complete dope said that he was a Mets fan and a Yankee hater, (well who isn’t) but this jerk said that he wanted to see the Phillies sweep the Yanks, and would even like to see the Mets get swept by Boston just to spite the Yanks. I turned the radio off.

Also, I hate our representative fanbase.

I bet if Cerrone had interviewed me and I talked about the problem being the collection of sub-replacement level parts that surround Beltran, Reyes, and Wright, I would’ve ended up on the editing room floor. Big goatee guy is much more interesting than me.

I hate those “we are the gatekeepers / I was there in ‘86 / these guys have no heart / we like to see our players get dirty / Keith Hernandez was the best ever / I’m blue collar, these guys get paid too much, so let me make my experience about me”.

To all those, I say: shut the fuck up, sit your ass down, buy a hot dog and watch the fucking game. The game is not about you and your bogus ass opinions and experiences. If you have a kid, teach them how to keep score. If you want to teach them how to play the game, take them to Little League — they can’t possibly replicate what the 99.9 percentile on the field is doing. If you want them to look up to someone, stop being a beer-swilling moron. And always remember: no, you can’t do a better job than Omar; and no, you probably can’t do a better job than Jerry or Willie or Sandy or HoJo or Warthen.
