George Mitchell…you killed baseball.
I would like to dedicate this rant to George Mitchell. Georgie, you single handedly killed baseball for me; something I only thought the introduction of woman to the sport could do.
Earlier today, Mr. Mitchell released a report to the public and the commissioner of baseball in regards to players who have and players who currently use performance enhancing drugs.
To be honest George, I really do not care about your little report. I have as much interest in your report as I do for the democratic process of voting in America. (Apparently 66% of Americans who also did not vote this past election agree with me as well)
I knew that these players were doping; who didn’t? Look at the stats for Roger Clemens, an alleged substance abuser in Mitchell’s report. The man’s era was consistently dropping, his K/9 ratio was still very high and the man still was getting around 17-18 wins a season. The reason this was so suspicious was that he chose to go to play for Houston to be near his family so he could relax… and his age was climbing into the 40’s. There is NO way that he could’ve done this without steroids…but hey, great sleuth work George! You deserve a gold star!
This just ruins baseball for me. It’s like the guys at American Eagle, Abercrombie and Fitch or Brooks Brothers admitting to me that their shirt’s cost the same to make as the ones from Old Navy. I already know they do, but I like to be told differently so I feel more important in the morning then the guy in the elevator who works in the mail room…
On top of that, pre-game shows are now going to be longer and have more shit which I do not care to hear. I don’t care whose been suspected of doping, the important thing is if he is playing or not and if he plays a good game so I don’t have to explain to my tax accountant about the consistent streak of lost money to a misc. company called “Sports Gambling R’ Us”
George, shut the hell up.
