Baseball is steroids

Sigh, just when I fall back in love with my childhood pastime. Up creeps the horned dragon of controversy and its lieutenant ogre shenanigans. Seriously in 20XX A.D. no one will remember our time for the greatness of the Chicago White Sox. No, it will be remembered as the dustup beginnings of the World Baseball Classic and the public outing of Major League Baseball’s courtship of athletes whom embraced steroids. I can’t stand it.

My personal opinion on how to right this wrong; Commish Selig gone, McGwire, Sosa, Bonds and any other guy who claims that they were around or that it is revealed that they were around steroids has there record wiped from the historic tomes of baseball. What is needed is to do the right thing and cleanse ourselves of these players. Black list them harder than Pete Rose, deny them entry to any ball parks, deny them any profit while using Baseball trademarks. Let the public know that these people are the last thing that we want as a representation of our sport.

Unfortunately, there is a lot of fond memories related to these players. I actually was sitting on a couch with my soon to be wife when a game came on. Mark McGwire stepped up to the plate. I turned to my future wife and said If he hits a home run we will be witnessing history. During that at bat McGwire did it, a looping shot that barely cleared the fence. Baseball has used these memories to generate a large sum of profit. When there’s profit to be made it’s hard to do the right thing. These sluggers rejuvenated the sport, rejuvenated fan interest and therefore rejuvenated revenues.

If your checking the score its zero to zero, there are no winners here.

On a totally unrelated note: Jeez theres alot of gaming goodness available this week. For the DS Metroid Prime Hunters is now available and on top of that Oblivion is now on shelves. Seriously between these two new additions, my WOW addiction, Animal Planet during lunch, and Madden 06 flare ups where will I find the time to eat. The answer is that I will discontinue eating for a time perhaps forevor. Ciggarettes and Multi-vitamins is the new hot diet.

****French Update*****

****Athletics Update*****

****Vocal****

- I wonder how people react when they see a dapper young man with a business haircut and rockstar sunglasses singing at the top of his lungs in bumper to bumper traffic.

****PHP/SQL***

- Haven’t even tried. Think I will be setting new priorities this Friday.

****Pro Tools****

- Major set back as I have realized that I don’t have a spare rig available to run the program. This also may be dropped.

Clearly I am not having the most productive week. I am going to address my personal learning initiatives tomorrow. You know it’s personally frustrating to not be able to accomplish anything that takes me more than 30 seconds to do. Therefore we continue to smother our pain with laughter.
