America's Past Time is in the Gutter

Damn it all but I think that baseball is going to be a contributing factor to the major freakout that I swear is only days away. There were three major baseball headlines and each one pissed me off.

1.) Barry Bonds got indicted for perjury and obstruction of justice. The fact that he got indicted doesn't piss me off, it's the fact that people are surprised by it. Of course he knew...

2.) The Choke Artist apparently has negotiated an obscene deal with the Yankees. Sure it isn't confirmed but it is pretty much a done deal according to every media outlet. $275M for someone who cracks under pressure is damn insanity. I swear the entire Steinbrenner family must be out of their damn minds. Why else would they put out that kind of money for someone who can get you to the playoffs but never to the big dance? (Bostonians...I wear a medium jersey.)

3.) Even my beloved Derek Jeter is in hot water because apparently he didn't pay NY taxes!!! I don't know the details but I am not inclined to side with him on this one. How can you be a Yankee but say you are not a New Yorker???


Maybe I should start following Equestrian or something. Baseball has been really rough on me the past couple of years.
