Guatemala Here We Come!

g

(These shirts are going to make some little Guatemalan kid very happy)

 

The price of advertising on the Stool just went up.  I mean what am I supposed to do with all these fucking shirts?   Nobody ever thinks of the little people.  The God Damn First Lady convinced me these would be a huge seller. That's what I get for listening to a chick.   Now she’s going to have to find a 2nd job.   

Anyway before I weigh in on this trade let me clarify that I would NOT have made this deal. I've already said that a million times. We are worse off today than we were yesterday. But I refuse to cry about losing a jerk like this. Manny could suffer a career ending injury tomorrow and I would just laugh.   In fact I kind of hope he does.   Manny is everything that is wrong with professional sports.  The ONLY reason I could tolerate him when he was here is because he mashed.   But everybody always knew he was an asshole.  I just pray to god he doesn’t go into the Hall of Fame as a Red Sox.  And if he does I may drive to Cooperstown and boo him during his speech. To be honest I wish I could just erase him from my memory.   Yeah I would have kept him for the rest of the year, but fuck him now that's he gone. Life is too short to let yourself worry about guys like Manny Ramirez.

PS - I especially resented Manny trying to compare his situation to Nomar.   Get a grip dude!   Nomar didn’t complain once his entire time in Boston until Lucchino backstabbed him and it fell apart at the very end.   Nomar always hustled.  Nomar never talked publicly about his contract.  Nomar never ripped the team.  Nomar never loafed it to first base.   Manny, I watched Nomar Garciaparra: I knew Nomar Garciaparra; Nomar Garciaparra was a friend of mine. Manny, you're no Nomar Garciaparra.   Now I hope you die.
