Winter

Just wake me up when we've signed Bonds, Schmidt, and Soriano. As for Moose Mochy... I'm heading back to bed

The D

Huh... where am I? What year is this? Where's Jake?... Oh right, this happens every year after the Giants are eliminated... a few weeks of spacing out as the thoughts of doom snowball in my brain... finally snapping out of it to make sure at least one team loses in the WS. Actually in this series I am fa sho rooting for Detroit, as they have been completely miserable for most of my baseball watching career. This team should give hope to the Kansas Cities, the Milwaukees and the Montreals that have been oh so hopeless for oh so long. But the Devil Rays should and will remain hopeless. Also, Jeff Weaver and Scott Spiezio are ridiculous tools and should be glove slapped. Ugh... only like five months till Scottsdale

I hate Baseball

Well, you all know how the season ended, and I don't want to talk about it. Go A's for now, death to the Dodgers & Yankees. Anyway, there is some good news which relates to us here at TBG. Check out the news in the Jason Grimsely case. Now, I have been pointing the steroid finger at Clemens for literally years now. A huge reason Bonds started getting allegations was due to his production when he was in his late thirties and early forties. Clemens did the exact same thing, throwing as hard as ever for 200+ innings as a 40 year old power pitcher. This simply shouldn't happen, power pitchers who succeed late in their careers do so with location and offspeed stuff, as they have lost significant zip on their fastballs. The ONLY exception to this rule is Nolan Ryan who spent the last few years of his career in the same dugout as Jose Canseco, Rafael Palmeiro, and Juan Gonzalez. I wouldn't be surprised. Anyway, the fact that Clemens hasn't experienced similar scrutiny to that of Bonds isn't just ignorant, it's plain racism. I hope the conservative fatcats at FOX and other media outlets who chose to turn Clemens into Captain America are exposed for what they are: prejudice whites who don't want a black man saving baseball.
