Bill:
I don't mean to alarm anyone, but there's a possibility Julián Tavárez has some, ah, angah management issues.
Doug:
I guess it's only fitting that Tavárez flips out and goes mental against the Devil Rays because, you know, it's not like there's any bad blood between the two clubs or anything.
Bill:
It's one of life's most amusing ironies that the Devil Rays have become the most likely team to go all DEFCON1 when playing the Sox.
Doug:
Well, now that Johnny Damon has supposedly been tasked with "bringing the Yankees togethah," I'm so sure the Bombahs will return to their Munson 70s roots. Not.
Bill:
Yeah, reading that piece, it certainly doesn't sound like Damon's found much love from Randy Johnson so fah. Heh.
Doug:
You know, I felt a momentary empathy for Damon's situation when I read Johnson's "He went two-for-fifteen against me last year" comment.
Bill:
Yeah, well, it could be worse. At least Damon isn't Johnson's illegitimate daughter or anything.
Doug:
Christ, there's mean and then there's meeeean.
Bill:
Hey, I want to back up for a second, and go back to that Damon article … Did I really read an A-Rod quote saying, "My whole life is about being crushed"?
Doug:
Unfuckingbelievable, right? I mean there's people getting balls blown off by IEDs, there's women getting sentenced to hanging for having the temerity to fight off 3 guys trying to gang rape her, and, yet, here's A-Rod, one of the highest paid athletes in the world, and his miserable, being crushed by the media life?
Bill:
You know, just when I start to think I'm being too hahd on that shit head, I read something like that.
Doug:
I'm so glad my A-Rod hate-O-meter goes to 11.
