Last week I wrote about how I feel Baseball is dying...Well I may have found the root to this problem...Tee-Ball! My journey into coaching has started and I have to say, What the f**k!?! My God Tee-Ball has changed over the years...I'm not liking these rules...Back in my day, we used wood bats...You're still able to use them, but most don't...Well the Beeze's Sea Wolves will be using wood bats...These kids are gonna be cock strong! But that's not the real problem...The real problem is some of the rules...You can make outs, but there's no 3 outs and it's the end of the inning...Nope, the whole lineup bats, then switch...That goes on for 45 minutes, then game over...Then there's the no running on an overthrow...WHAT? They want you to play 8 infielders and 4 outfielders...Luckily I don't have to do that nonsense since my team and most the others only have 10 kids...
Don't get me wrong, I'm not the ultra-competitive Dad, crazy asshole parent...I know, it's Tee-Ball, and it's about introducing the kids to Baseball and the fundamentals, but they seem to be taking some of the fundamentals out of youth sports these days...This is another example of the pussification of our youth...At the end of the year, everyone gets a trophy...Listen, when I played, only the winners got trophies...1 year we won it all, and got a trophy...The next we didn't, and we got nothing...That's ball, and that's life...But now everyone needs there kids coddled...They all need to be winners...Guess what? THEY AREN'T!!! You're setting them up for a devastating blow when they get older, and they lose, and they get nothing!
I'm going to do my best to teach these kids some fundamentals while having fun doing it...I'm not trying to take the fun out of this, but damn it, they need to know which of my 8 infielders covers 1st base if the first baseman needs to field a ball!
Moving along...Stephen Strasburg came to Cleveland this weekend and helped the Tribe sell some tickets...The kid looked good again, but he looked a little more human...He actually walked 5 batters, and ONLY struck out 8! Now the pitchers mound giving out on him may have helped that a bit, but when you're a Cleveland team, you gotta do whatever you can to try and win...Which they didn't! On a side note, Indians outfielder Trevor Crowe, who has been one of the many highly tauted prospects in the organization, has spent the last week proving the hype wrong...He has botched 3 fly balls so badly, it looks like Ray Charles is playing Center Filed for the Tribe...I never thought I'd actually miss overrated Grady Sizemore...
Quick NBA update...The Celtics took a 3-2 series lead over the Lakers...Now they head back to LA for games 6 and 7 if needed...I hope the Celtics just take game 6 so I don't have to see Anymore basketball for a few months...
Don't ask me about the World Cup...I have no idea what the hell is going on there...But clearly The New York Post knows something I don't...
Last time I checked, a game ending with a 1-1 score was a tie...So either the New York Post is f**king stupid, or soccer is...Maybe both...Can some one help me with this?
College Football has been crazy this past week...This team is going here, that team is going there, where the hell are those teams gonna go...At first I was annoyed by it...Now, I'm seeing a possibility of something good...Let's say, the Big-10, Pac-10, SEC, and ACC swallow up the rest of the Big12 and the Big East...4 super conferences...This could help lead to an actual playoff format...Of course you throw the smaller guys like the MAC, Mountain West, Conference-USA a slot each...Just an idea...What you think?
Now, this weeks tweet of the week...(You may not want to click the link if you're at work!)
"Alexa_DiCarlo: WARNING: If you DON'T want to see a video of a very rough BJ w/ lots of hard face slapping, DON'T click on this! http://bit.ly/cX1CBM "
Clearly, I'm a bit of a perv...Bouncing around online I find all kinds of stuff...Sometimes I hit those special sites...Once in awhile I'll watch a CUCKOLD video...I was watching this one, but the mood got ruined when the Cuckold puke...
I know some one was worried they were about to watch some freaky porn!
Speaking of which...Saturday night I was out with some friends, and if you know me, the conversation always ends up on sex...A friend there is the same way, and we had great time drinking beers and making people uncomfortable...There's nothing more honest then some real, down and dirty sex talk...When it comes to talking openly and honestly about sex and relationships, there's no one better at it then Patrice O'Neal...
That's it for now gang...Have a great week...
Later, The Beeze.

So nice that you think of him as a friend. The ironic thing is you two are so much alike it's a little scary. We definitely need to make this a monthly thing. I still have 3 more months of hospital time and I will need some time out. We have to invite more people that you and he can make uncomfortable. :)
