When A-Rod goes 1-11

The weirdest thing about the Sox/Yankees series over the weekend was not the big comeback in game 1, the Wang meltdown in game 2 or the Jeter home run in game 3. The Yanks have been coming back all season long, Wang has been having bad starts all season long (it is a weird thing how many wins he has and how low his ERA is. Every time you look up he had another mediocre start, yet his stats are good. Odd.), and Jeter has come through many times before.

The weird thing is that A-Rod went 1-11, and instead of the one hit being a meaningless single with two outs in the sixth of an already decided game, it was the reason they won game 1. His .099 batting average for the series won a game, whereas in yesteryear his .400 batting averages often times failed to make an impact. Last year he would have been crucified for 1-11, probably rightfully so. This year he isn't, also rightfully so. Weird.

Either way, the Yanks look like that proverbial "team no one wants to play" this year, because they can erupt for approximately a gazillion runs at any time. They are also the proverbial "team no one likes rooting for" because they can also quiescently sit by and score 1 run any given day. And yeah I just made that slightly less than proverbial term up on the spot. But you know you have felt that way before and will again, so if nothing else it SHOULD be a proverbial term.

To those who doubted Randy Moss: 6 catches, 100 yds, 2 TDs.

To those who root for the Titans: Dangit. Darnit. DANG. Blast. Stupid play. RUN WITH IT ALREADY! What is this passing nonsense, VY? Dang. Crap. Crud. Stupd stupid stupid. Come on now. Seriously. I mean... seriously. Dang. Darn. What the heck. In the name of all things light blue and dark blue, why. Come on.

To those who wonder why my blogs are getting shorter: You're morons. Figure it out on your own.

Cameragate: That is a retarded name first off. We do not need to put "gate" on the end of "scandals" anymore and even if we did, this is hardly a "scandal". The self-righteous preening punks who keep acting as if Bill Belichick shot their grandmother need to GET A LIFE. He cheated, he got penalized, its over. It wasn't even bad cheating. Does anyone seriously think that makes a difference in games? If you answered yes, your favorite team is either the Colts, Eagles, Panthers or Rams. And you are a moron. The Patriots clearly try to push the envelope as close to the rule boundaries as they can. Most of the time, they don't break the line. This time, they did. They got punished for it. The people who keep declaring this a pattern of flaunting the rules are also morons. They don't have a pattern of flaunting the rules, they have a pattern of getting as much as they can, and sometimes--in other words, this ONE TIME--they go overboard. They lost money and a first round pick and that should be that. I don't like the Patriots anymore than the next guy (The Titans would have won the Super Bowl in 03 if not for the Pats) but I don't think the Titans lost that game because Belichick could see the defensive signals on videotape. The same signals he could just *watch* anytime he wanted to.

Anyway, I'm hungry and tired and all of the sudden poor, so I must be off. Until next time,
