Well, it's almost time for another baseball season. News and rumors floating around during Spring Training have had their ill-effects on players and teams. Cited as a known steriod user from two books, Barry Bonds is now under investigation by MLB and a shady Bud Selig. The slugger, chasing Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron on the all-time homerun list, is defensive and angry again...big surprise! Randy Johnson has a secret love child and pitcher Kris Benson moves from the Mets to the Orioles regarding allegations that his racy model wife was the reason behind him being traded, which he states is far from the truth.
The Chicago Cubs will start the season off again in depressing fashion without their star hurlers, Prior and Wood. Speaking as a Cubs fan, I see this as another bad omen and like the countless seasons before this sucks big time (Oh shit...here we go again) Also, due to the past years' brawls between rival teams, Boston's Trot Nixon has urged Commissioner Selig and his staff to shorten the number of games between such rivaled, hot-tempered teams. This is mainly to avoid Red Sox fans trying to punch Gary Sheffield while catching a fly ball or hostile Yank-o-holics spewing out obscenities while throwing objects at Red Sox players, provoking them to enter the stands and start a melee.
St. Louis unveils a new stadium since they figured it would raise attendance and help erase the memory of getting swept by the Red Sox in the World Series. Take that division champs. Now lets see how well you guys cope with shame, the Cubs are professionals at it. (I'm not sure whether this can be took as an insult or compliment?) It looks like Roger Clemens is back for one more season. This guy is a true gamer. Well, I guess spending more time with his family isn't that important after all. (I'm kidding...I'm sure he's had plenty of time to neglect them in the off-season). Oh yeah, almost forget, Mike Piazza made a fatal career decision by joining the Padres.
There is plenty in store for the upcoming baseball season. I really hope there will be no corked bat incidents, doctoring of baseballs, shocking locker room footage of players injecting themselves with drugs, suspensions for excessive milk drinking by bat boys, or full-fledged riots with blood and guts spurting out every where. No sir, I don't want to witness or be a part of such travesties. The worst crap could happen in '06, but then again I'm just a fan, what do I know?
