Maybe the best show out there

If you haven't seen the show Mad Men yet, you're REALLY missing out. If you have been, then you should really enjoy this clip from SNL: Don Draper's guide to picking up women. Enjoy.

"I wanted the ball!"


Fantastic game tonight!!! Admittedly, I was pulling for the Bo-Sox. Mainly, because I hate watching games in that stupid Tropicrapa Dome. What a dump. However, to see this 'kid' come in the game, with bases loaded, in the bottom of the 8th, and shut the door, was pretty cool.


His name is David Price and last year he was pitching for Vanderbilt. He wasn't called up until the middle of September, and he looked like he was going for stroll down the beach. DAMN, he looked cool under pressure. What a performance. Furthermore, to come out in the 9th and completely extinguish the defending champs, especially given the Red Sox penchant for working that October Mo-jo, was the stuff of legends.


They asked him what he was thinking when he came into the game with the bases loaded, and back out for the 9th, he basically said: I WANTED THE BALL! (Screw the red sox, screw the fact that I didn't get ONE save all year, I... AM GOOD so give me the DAMN BALL!!!!)

MEET THE DOUCHEBAGS!!!!


Holy Bleepin CRAP!!!! Just look at these guys! "Hey Glenny, MAN! I got a fu_kin' great idea, MAN!: You know that retarded dude that lives up the street? Yeah, THAT guy, let's BEAT THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF HIM!!!! It'll be sweet! But first, one more spin of the Biznack!!!" (the previous reenactment was solely based on my interpretation of an alleged beat-down by 4 white-trash dudes who thought it would be good times to beat up a mentally disabled dude, TWICE!!!, breaking his bones, and leaving him for who knows what.)


How in the hell could anyone have a good reason for this. The obvious one would be money for meth. But they beat this guy on TWO separate occasions!!! Although, these cowardly punks did manage to raid their victim's home for, get this, XBOX games.....wow. Another highlight is, as reported by the star tribune: One of those charged is employed by a Northfield organization that works with disabled adults. AWESOME!!!

Here's the caption for the above picture of these sub-humans, and here is the link to the article as it appears in the startribune.com: Jonathon Michael Diepold, 22; Glen Richard Ries, 33; John Maxwell Maniglia, 19, all of Northfield, and Timothy John Ketterling, 22, of Prior Lake.

'Burban Babies

Once in a while BigZam likes to get a little political, but, when Blogging, does not like to gang up on one party or the other. More so, besides referring to himself in the 3rd person, he likes to gang up on idiocy. Here’s another attempt: I’m driving around town, with 89.3 the Current turned up and their news guy, Bob Collins comes on and he tells me about a heated battle of words taking place, in the race for Congress’ 3rd district, the one being vacated by Jim Ramstad.

Appalled, I went online and looked it up. Here’s what I found, as it is written at mpr.org (btw, after you read this, guess which guy pictured here is the suburban cry-baby):

Paulsen camp knocks Madia for lacking kids, mortgage
Posted at 6:00 PM on September 30, 2008 by Curtis Gilbert
Republican congressional candidate Erik Paulsen's campaign says his DFL opponent Ashwin Madia lacks the "suburban life experience" to represent Minnesota's 3rd District.
"Raising a family in the district, sending your kids to the public school, owning a home, working in the 3rd District, paying property taxes in the 3rd District. Erik Paulsen has done all these things. And Ashwin Madia has not," said state Sen. Geoff Michel, R-Edina, who spoke on behalf of the Paulsen campaign at a press conference today.

And Michel, argues those distinctions matter to voters.
"Do you feel what my family feels trying to save for college?" he asked. "Do you feel what my family feels sending our kids to public schools? When you talk about No Child Left Behind and the growth of the federal government's role in education, do you feel that as a father? These are all important, sort of minimum requirements for a member of Congress from the 3rd District."

Paulsen, 43, is a state legislator and father of four. Madia, 30, is a bachelor, and he's making his first run for office. He's also a lawyer and an Iraq war veteran.
"That is certainly something to be applauded, but it's not a shortcut to Congress," Michel said.

Wow

I love the last comment by Michel, about how being a military veteran and a lawyer is not a shortcut to Congress. Well, NEITHER IS HAVING A WIFE AND FOUR KIDS AND DRIVING YOUR ASS TO 8,000 SOCCER PRACTICES!!!

GEEZ!!! Even more beautiful is the opening line which states that Madia is lacking, “suburban life experience." Are you frickin’ serious?!?! OH, yeah, it’s sooooo tough living in the ‘burbs. I don’t know how anyone, manages it. You city folk have it SO EASY!!!! Look, I live in a suburb, and have TWO stinkin’ mini-vans, and 3 kids, THAT DOESN’T MAKE MORE QUALIFIED TO BE A CONGRESPERSON THAN JOE BACHELOR DOWN THE STREET!!!!

Furthermore, HE’s A WAR VETERAN, and you’re trying to tell me that he lacks SUBURBAN LIFE EXPERIENCES!!!! WTF!!?? Anyway, here's the link to the audio story. If nothing is below, head over to the links on the right side of the page: (NEVERMIND!!! I checked it out, and it is boring as hell)

"No, Cubs, No!"

For those of you who may not be familiar, the Chicago Cubs, the team that last won a World Series in 1908, play a song at Wrigley after every victory. To hear it, watch a slide-show video of it here:



After the latest choke job, Eric Zorn, writer/blogger for the Chicago Tribune, has suggested that the lyrics need to be changed. What are your suggestions?

Garry (yes, with two 'R's) in Chicago suggested this:

Just give it a new ending

"Hey, Chicago, what do you say?
The Cubs went out & sucked today!"

BigZam thinks this is pretty good, but it would sound better if you applied the following lyrics: "Blow, Cubs, Blow,....Blow, Cubs, Bloooowww."

This would also go well with: "The Cubs are gonna choke today!" (which is a lyric that some other Cub Fan suggested.

You might say that Cubs fans are little bitter. Just a little. If you need anymore evidence of this, check what this Cub fan had to say in the Tribune's website:

Well it's over - finally! Maybe now I can get some rest. I have been a Cubs fan for 38 years but that era ends today. I just can't do it anymore. I went to 21 games this year and I swear I will never go to another Cubs game ever - unless I am cheering for their opponent. There comes a time when you just have to let go - kind of like a parent watching thier drug addicted child go through rehab for the 10th time - enough is enough! It's just not fair to me to suffer again - I surrendor. I feel like I got dumped by a girlf that I really love - the only way to get over her is to start seeing someone else. I guess the best revenge is start dating the girl she hates the most which means, I hate to tell you, but from this day forward I am a Cardinals fan. No point in naming names of the culprits in this pathetic series - almost everyone on the roster contributed to the losses. My heart has been broken once again and I will not set myself up to ever feel this pain again - I am done with the Chicago Cubs forever!

Well, at least he's not becoming a White Sox fan. I am so loving this man's anger. What are your thoughts?

Flub-a-dub-Cub

Wow. I guess the Sox sucked all the good karma in Chi-town. Quite the pounding Manny and the boys put on the North Enders. Me, well, my cable-less ass watched 2nd-4th innings in the Cardinal Bar, on 38th and Hiawatha Ave, in Minneapolis. Why the Cardinal? My son had soccer practice at the V.A. Medical Center and the Cardinal is not TOO far from there; and I was feeling nostalgic. I went there once before, about 15 years ago, with Kolin Knudson--one of my buddies from the St. Cloud State days. I remember putting a few beers down there before we went over to Tiff's on Ford Pkwy. I have no idea why we stopped at the Cardinal. If I remember right, we wanted to have a pretty good buzz on before we tried to pick up the uppity St. Thomas chicks at Tiff's. Which is stupid logic considering that nearly every chick at Tiff's is under 21, drunk, and not exactly a challenge. Unless of course you were me, or hanging out with me, in which case you had a zero chance of hooking up with any Tommy ladies. That's why I had to enroll there, and end up marrying one.

Where the hell was I? Oh yeah, the Cardinal. This place is a beauty. You're in Minneapolis but you might as well be in Danbury, Wisconsin. We're talking Meat Raffles (which are also prevalent throughout the East Side of St. Paul), thick accents and crappy-ass juke box music. Three times I had to shoo away the meat raffle lady. The raffle, btw, landed on '9' twice. The locals bitched about it too: "That's awfully fishy!" Thankfully, the 3rd spin of the meat raffle landed on 27 (no one pointed out that it was divisible by 9!!)

So the game's on, the Bar is blasting the audio so you can hear the play-by-play....PERFECT! But wait, some 25--going on 45--year old lady is approaching the juke box...NOOOOO!

OH YEAH, and her selections? They were as follows:

Song#1 Bon Jovi--I'll be there for you (Are you FU_king kidding me?! Who likes, much less plays bon jovi? And of all the Jovi tunes to play....PUH-LEEEEEEEEEEEZE!!! I didn't feel so bad when, in the 2nd God-Forbidden stanza, Mark DeRosa hit a 2 run homer; it would be the Cubs only runs.)

Song#2 Patsy Cline--Crazy (About 10 million levels better than bon jizzi. I was feeling a bit more optimistic of the possible subsequent tunes upon hearing this. I was grossly mistaken.)

Song#3 Phil Collins--In the Air Tonight (Why?! Why do you play songs that you liked in 7th grade, when all you knew, and listened to, was KQRS? MOVE THE FUCK ON!!!! I swear I heard this lady tell her impressed friends: "He wrote this after he watched some guy kill a dude; and THEN...he played it years later with the murderer in the crowd!" "NO WAYYYYY!!!" was the response. Too bad the Cardinal Bar bans guns on the premises.)

And the Coup de Gras? Song#4 Dolly Parton & the Gambler--Islands in the Stream
The worst part, of course, is when the song is over you start humming the satanic verses that make up this most evil tune. I'm sure that Islands is some sort of perverted sexual innuendo.
Listen for yourself, as I have done you the favor of attaching the video, below. You're welcome.

Poop


We lose.......again. Minnesota's finest team came up one run short tonight, and I listened to it on the radio. Yep, it was me, in the kitchen, doing dishes as Brian Anderson made a fine diving catch to end our season (I saw it on replay). It's just as well, as I was about to "borrow" 20 bucks from my daughter (I would have paid it back!) Don't get me wrong, I very much enjoy listening to ball games on the radio. It's a terrific radio sport, and our local guys do a decent enough job. I just would have liked to seen this beauty, and it apparently it was a dandy as John Gordan repeated the phrase, "WHAT A BALLgame!" about a 272 times from the 5th inning on. GOD it was just sickening. I GET IT GORDO; IT'S AN O.K. BALL GAME. I DON'T NEED TO BE REMINDED AFTER EVERY AT-BAT!!!!!!!!!


What bothered me the most was you could tell it was more of a: "It's ok if we lose, Twins-fans, because we are watching a GREAT FUCKING BALL GAME!!!" AAAAAAAAAAAH!


And does this guy, Gordon,LOVE hyperbole. After the game, he commented that the contest would be remembered as the greatest elimination game, everrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Ummmm, good game? Yes. More memorable than Bucky Dent's 3 run blast at Fenway? NO WAY.


However, there are some things I like about the radio broadcast. Firstly, you can hear the fans. Sometimes, they're moronic, which is fun, and other times, but rarely, they actually have intelligent insight. Tonight's example of this was during one of the rare times when we had a guy on 1st base--it was 2-2 count and some guy yelled: "C'mon, you gotta get 'em here, we don't wanna go 3 and 2!!" Well said novel South Sider. Furthermore, the announcers often provide insightful details of the game. Things you never hear on the Tube. For example, Span was on first and was going to steal 2nd, but, as Dan Gladden pointed out, Span noticed that Danks used a quick slide step to home, on the pitch, so he came to a quick stop after taking a couple strides towards 2nd. Good stuff.


Season's over.....GO CUBS!!!!

Game On!!


Sadly, it isn't ON my Computer. As I write, I am moments from walking down to a local establishment--one of the perks of not having cable is that I get to leave home and watch the game at the pub.


SOUNDS like a good game so far. Terrible luck in the 1st inning, for the Twins, as Span was stealing on a 2 strike pitch when Casilla crushed a line drive RIGHT AT the 3rd Baseman....double play.


Bottom of the 3rd coming up, no score. WHERE THE HELL IS BRAMSCHER?! He's supposed to meet me at Neuman's....Dadgummit!!! (what can I say? it's catchy) He's stuck at work. So now I have no one to hang out at Neuman's with.....no cable......no friends.....no money......go twins?

Big Game


I'm upset that the Twins blew it against the Royals this past weekend, and that the Tigers decided that 162 games was just one game too many. BUT, a one game playoff is pretty cool and unprecedented for us Twins fans, and lets face it: Neither the Twins nor Chi-Sox are going ANYWHERE!!! So, we get to have a little, one might even say "Little League," championship game.

Another note of interest, is that this might the only time in MLB history that a team had to play 3 different teams in 3 consecutive days. Pretty cool.

I'll be blogging as much as possible, either during, or immediately after the game. Possibly from a pub--hopefully not drowning in my sorrows.
(the pictures to the right are tonight's starting pictures: Nick Blackburn & John Danks)

'Till then.

WHITE SOX TIGERS BLOG


Well, well, well!!!! It's a rainy day in my 2nd favorite city (sorry Yosh), and thus the game has been delayed. So, the only question is, where will I watch this pretend playoff game? Probably at home: cheaper beer, not in St. Paul's East Side... OOOH, and I did just pick up a six pack of Bell's Oktoberfest... a most excellent brew.

Bottom of 1st inn.Freddy looks like absolute shit for the first 2 batters. Thanks, Fred-Dog, for walking the first 2 guys up. This is not a very good start.

Bottom of 2nd.
Clearly the Tigers have warmer climes on their minds. They are playing like they can’t wait for this one to be over. I guess you can’t blame them. BUT WAIT, what’s this? Inge just made a spectacular catch, going 2-3 rows into the stands to make a FANTASTIC catch. Maybe this can inspire his lethargic teammates. Then again, maybe it shows just how badly Le Tigres want this one to end. Chi-Sox 1-0

Middle of the 5th.
Forced to eat supper with my family, and thus forced to put down the laptop, I missed a couple innings. Mary made a really nice stir fry, btw, most delicious. So I turned the game on and it was still 1-0 with Le Tigres coming to bat. A couple hits, including a double by the gutty Inge, and Le Tigres had a runner in with guys on 1+3 with nobody out. Then, K,K, weak ground out. OPPORTUNITY WASTED!!!!!!!!!!! But at least we have a ball game. In fairness, the 2nd K was about a 13 pitch AB for Granderson. I thought for sure that Chicago's native son would come through. Next time, Curtis!!!
Tigres, Sox 1-1 as Fred Sanford is starting to look like Freddy Garcia, and we go to the 6th!!

Bottom of the 6th.
My stupid lap top got tied up by stupider mcafee securtiy thingy, causing my computer to operate at the speed of Matt Nokes. So I missed the Les Tigres run in the 6th. Maybe I'm bad luck for the visiting club. Freddy's given up a hit here in the 6th so they've brought in the pitching form of Galaraga. Although, it appears that Garcia got hurt because they're giving the guy about 89 warm up pitches. In fact, that must be it 'cause the count is 1-1.
Tigres 2, Sox 1

Apparently, they didn't give 'em enough warm ups because he just threw 2 pitches that landed somewhere near Clark & Addison. So after a stolen base, and 2 wild pitches, it is now 2-2. LARGE KUDOS to Jim Leyland as the old chain smoker is playing to win, and doing all Twinky fans a favor, by removing Galaraga.

THIS CATCHER SUCKS!!! Another one goes to the backstop. My heartburn is worsening.

CRAP!!! Griffey's up, 2-0 count, runners on 1+2, with 1 out. ground ball?

THIS UMP SUCKS BULLS BALLS!!!! Seay, the pitcher, just grooved one, the ump called it a ball. He walked him. Bases loaded. Here comes Leyland. New pitcher. I've noticed that the most homer announcer in the history of all sports announcing, ken "the hawk" harrelson, likes to say "He Gone," whenever he gets a chance. Like when there's a pitching change: "He's gone." When the announcer leaves the booth to take a leak....SHUT UP!!! This guy loves his Chi-Sox, but that's no excuse for over-using the same lame-ass expression.

You can't groove 'em any more than that. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!
Nothing like an 85mph, cock-high curveball to force our Twins to visit the south side. Grand Slam for a guy who is thinner than Paris Hilton: Alexi Ramirez. Ramirez now has the record for most Grand Slams in a year by a rookie--4.

It's gonna be real hard for the Tigers to care now. Sox 6, Tigers 2. (Maybe the Tigers could ask the Feds for a bail-out.)

DID HE JUST SAY "DAD-GUMMIT?!!!" Wow, I was about ready to wrap it up when the Chi-Sox made an error, which prompted the announcer, Harrelson, to blurt out something that was a cuss-word in 1828. Surly he is the only human on the planet which uses that expression. Any thoughts? 6-2 top of 7th.

It's 7-2 now, bottom of the 8th. It's over, and probably over for the Twins as they are throwing Blackburn tomorrow, and, as of late, he has been less than spectacular; AND, we suck on the road. But you never know.

Tomorrow night's game, which is at 6:30 Central, will be blogged. Maybe someone, whose last name is not Zamacona, will read it.

South Park Studios Clip of the Day

This website is fantastic (the link is to your right). Here's a nice little ditty with a couple of the boys hanging out with Magic J.

GO Tigers!!!!


Today's the big game which determines the fate of our beloved Twins. Unfortunately it's at 1:00, which means it'll be a struggle to teach for the last hour of the school day. So, at 2:00 and 10 seconds, I will be on my way to a nearby drinking establishment. Stay tuned as I will try to Blog this game. Have I mentioned what fine outstanding pitcher, and gentleman, Freddy Garcia is? I think I love him.

Garcia, the former White Sox Pitcher, was dumped by Ozzie Guillen, and will be pitching today, for the Tigers, against his former boss.... REVENGE, BIATCH!!!!

Back?


O.k., this is where I pretend that people are going to read this blog....


This Blog needs a focus, so here goes: Comedy, some sports stuff, music, links to comedy and sports stuff and music, and the occasional observations of life. The last of these items is what has been most prevalent in my blogistry (new word?), and what I am most proud of. But these can become tiresome to write on a day-to-day basis.


Firstly, the Twins are absolutely infuriating....'nuff said. Even more frustrating is knowing that if the Twins would have won the first two games with K.C. this weekend, we'd be division champs. The Joke is on the Twins AND the White Sox, as neither is deserving of the title......the league should overrule both and send the Royals. Aside from Gomez, no one has been hitting the ball on a consistent basis. Morneau the "MVP" has been god-awful. With bases loaded today, with one out in the 7th, he had a 2-1 count and promptly hit into a double play. In another at bat Morneau looked like my wife trying to hit whiffle balls......not good.

Today was the first time, in a long time, that I was up, out of my chair, and yelling and swearing at our beloved Twins. Luckily, the kids were outside terrorizing the neighbor girl's birthday party.

It's Official

Big Zammer is back on Public Access Cable. Years ago, and I'm talking 15 some years now, BigZam was co-hosting a cable access show with my buddy, 'B'. It was fun. Well, without much fanfare, I'm back on the Air-ways, announcing St. Paul High School Athletic events. My first match was last night, Girls Soccer, Johnson @ Highland Park. It was a lot of fun.

I love the Microphone, as some of you may know. Anyway, the hightlight, or low-light, of the evening was when I referred to a girl as being "Knocked-up." I meant to say that she knocked the ball up, or something. Ooops. Luckily, and miraculously, I did not break into a huge fit of laughter. I just moved on like nothing happened.

Be sure to tune in on Wednesday night, 7:00, on cable channel 19, on SPNN for some exciting H.S. Soccer Action, and for some top quality announcing work.

Also, check out www.spnn.org for the complete broadcast schedule.

Bonds


You know what kicks ass? Besides my dead Grandma's Hot Dago recipe? The fact that some 22 year-old dude from Queens, New York, came up with THE ball. WEARIN' his METS jersey, and all.

And get this, turns out the guy and his buddy were on their way to Australia and on a whim figured they'd attend the Giants game.

NICE!!!

I think there's some justice in the fact that a guy from Queens, NYC, NY, ended up with it, given that the Giants played in NYC.....though they played in Manhattan's Polo Grounds. Nonetheless, amidst all those Frisco Giant Fans, a guy from fucking Queens...

HOLY CRAP!!! They just ran an Anti-Steroid ad during tonight's historic game...

Nice Guy.


Photo Caption: Wade Campbell, of St. Paul, says the dispute with his son's Little League coach over how much the 12-year-old got to play has been blown out of proportion. Campbell admits cursing at the coach but says he never threatened him. (JOHN DOMAN, Pioneer Press)

I know there's been countless stories about crazy parents and youth sports, but I had to bring this up. I'm sure you've read about it, but this one hits a little too close to home. The best part, this guy was in trouble a few years ago for attacking his neighbor with his snow-blower. How is that even possible? And what is the sequence of events, in your mind, which leads to attacking someone with a snow-blower? Amazing. Anyway, here's the story from the Pioneer Press.

Dad charged with threatening Little League coach
BY MARA H. GOTTFRIED
Pioneer Press
Article Last Updated: 06/26/2007 01:01:37 PM CDT

Prosecutors this morning charged the father of a St. Paul Little Leaguer with threatening to shoot his son's coach.

Police arrested Wade Campbell, 46, Sunday after he called the coach and told him "he was going to be shot down like a dog and that they 'f----- with the wrong East Sider," according to a criminal complaint charging Campbell with making terroristic threats.

Campbell, of St. Paul, disputed the allegations Monday during an interview in the Ramsey County jail. He cursed at the coach, Noe Ambriz Jr., but never threatened him, Campbell said. He said he was frustrated his 12-year-old son didn't see more playing time.

The trouble began Friday at a Parkway Little League game in St. Paul's Dayton's Bluff neighborhood.

Campbell was yelling and swearing in the dugout area and had to be asked to leave, the complaint said. Campbell said Monday he only cursed softly at his son.

Campbell's conduct continued in the stand and league officials asked Campbell to leave the field, the complaint said.

On Saturday, Ambriz and his family returned to their St. Paul home from another baseball game, in which Campbell's son hadn't played, the complaint said. Ambriz noticed Campbell was in the yard of a neighbor, who is a friend of Campbell, the complaint said.

Campbell didn't say anything to the Ambrizes, but continuously stared at them, the complaint said. Campbell left the area after about two hours, but called the Ambrizes' home twice and hung up both times, the complaint said.
On Sunday, the Ambrizes saw Campbell pull up in his vehicle behind their house and stop, the complaint said. After a short stay, he left the area, the complaint said. About 20 minutes later, Campbell called the Ambrizes and made the threat about shooting them, the complaint said.

Campbell also said, "I'll be over in five minutes," the complaint said.

A Musical Ear Indeed!!!


This past Friday night my daughter had her very first piano recital. She started getting lessons in January and she picked it up really well, so, there we were at St. Thomas the Crusading Apostle of the Holy Redeemer’s Lady of Faith Church, in St. Paul.

My daughter played lovely and I was a very proud Papa. However, this was not the highlight of the evening. Sitting next to me was an elderly gentleman, I’d say somewhere in his upper 70’s, and he was the type of aged person who is hard of hearing, but he hasn’t quite made the big leap to purchasing a hearing aid. Consequently, he would say things that were only intended for his wife to hear—as she was sitting to his immediate right, but everyone within a 10-13 foot radius could readily understand his ramblings.

For example, when some kid would happily finish their piece he would utter something like, “There’s a great big smile,” or “They just keep getting better.” Pretty harmless stuff. BUT, on one particular occasion, a fairly large girl, about the same age as my first-grade daughter, started walking to the piano to play her musical selection, in a dress that was none too flattering, and the elder statesman blurts out: “OH, she’s a chubby one.”

Awesome. I’m pretty sure that everybody sitting around us heard him, but I am hopeful that the girl did not. I only wish I had looked around to see the reaction of the people sitting around us. Understandably, I was too busy putting my chin down, closing my eyes and trying to hold back the laughter.

Lucky for me, I was able to replay this scenario over, and over, and over, and over as the rest of the children, ages 6-14, exhibited their talents, or lack thereof.

How 'Bout dem Cubbies!!!!

Let's face it sports fans: THE CUBS ARE ON A ROLL!!!!!!
Things have gotten so bad, that rather than taking their frustrations out on the other team, they've resorted to fighting each other!

And in the middle of it all: Sweet, Sweet Lou. You gotta love it.

I had a video of Pinella's press conference, but stupid MLB said we can't show it anymore. So, instead, here's a home-made video of Lou Pinella getting ejected the DAY AFTER the Zambrano/Barrett Battle.

Watch Lou go nuts, but, also, notice the amount of beer cups getting dumped by those crazy bastards in the bleacher seats.

AWWWWWWWWWWWW fugedaboutit!! The MLB Nazis refuse to let anyone show any aspects of their precious product. No wonder Baseball is losing out to Football……Basketball……..Golf…………Badminton…..

Hey, MLB, whatever you do, don’t let your game become more visible/approachable and thus more POPULAR!!!!

FUCKING IDIOTS!!!!


By the way, my brothers, and myself, and a few of our collective friends will be making our annual pilgrimage to Wriggley this August. Sitting in the Bleachers, of course. Stay tuned.
