And you got to just hate the Passover food. It all tastes like crap. It's terrible. I have to suffer b/c Pharoah was a dick. It doesn't make any sense to me. Pharoah enslaved a bunch of Jews, the Jews, led by Moses, escaped. They find the land of Milk and Honey after 40 years of wondering aimlessly, and I have to eat this crap for a week.
Although I do enjoy spending time with family I otherwise would not get to see, the overall Passover experience is something that I strongly do not look forward to.
Back to sports...I recently went to the home/season opener of my beloved fightin Phillies. It was like watching a terrifying episode of the Twighlight Zone. They got a strong effort from Brett Myers, the Phillies (borderline) Ace. When Brett is more focused on Baseball, and less on hitting his wife in the face outside of bars, he can be pretty damn good.
But, for some reason, Charlie Manual allowed Myers to pitch the 8th inning, and Edgar Renteria, who obviously has found a loophole in all of Baseball steroid testing policies, went yard to tie the game and once more to give the Braves the lead in the top of the 10th.
After the game, Brett Myers was whining about the fans. He said
"I was waiting for the boo," Myers said, but the opening-day sellout crowd liked what the starter had done too much. The crowd just sat down quietly and prepared for the rest.
"I hope they stick with us," Myers said, "because it's going to be a long year and it's not always going to be pretty. We need them to be with us through good and bad. They could make us or break us."
"I hope they stick with us," Myers said, "because it's going to be a long year and it's not always going to be pretty. We need them to be with us through good and bad. They could make us or break us."
The players, unbelievably after only one game, are already concerned about the fans. Brett, please, play your game and don't worry about how the fans react. If the players are already worried about the fans reactions, then we are in for another disapointing season.
I just get this gut feeling that the Phillies are in for a slow start, Adam Eaton will be a miserable failure, Jon Lieber will be traded and consequently, become an All-Star, the fans, who are already as impatient as any fanbase I can ever remember, will turn on the team quickly, all hell will break loose and Endy fuckin Chavez will single handedly carry the Mets to the World Series. It sucks but it is inevitable.
How many days until training camp?
