Monday Moaning ( a 2012 Recap)

 

 

It's New Year's Eve...2012 is coming to an end...What will we remember this 2012 for?  A year with crazy weather...Intense heat waves...Wild fires and droughts...Extreme tornadoes...Epic storms...Yep, that all happened in 2012...What else?  The world didn't end right before Christmas, as many thought the Mayans predicted...Though there were many lives lost just before Christmas...The mall shooting in Oregon...The horrific massacre at Sandy Hook changed so many lives, and as an outsider looking in, it really shook me up...

But the shooting didn't stop there...Another nut-job randomly opened fire in PA shortly after...followed by an asshole who set a house on fire Christmas Eve, in NY just to open fire on the fire fighters...But in that time from December 14th up to Christmas, there were over 60 people shot in Chicago, and the media seems to ignore that...Mental health and gun control debates were sparked because these events along with the Colorado movie theater shooting...Maybe we'll be able to remember 2013 for being the year that there was some serious change to prevent these acts from being some common...

In 2012 we saw the legacy of  Joe Paterno shattered...And we saw the monster know as Jerry Sandusky locked up after years of abusing and raping kids, and years of Penn State officials and Paterno covering it up, and letting it continued...And while the media was so proud to cover this story, they turned a blind eye to THIS horrible story...ESPN didn't say shit about it until more than a month after I did...Speaking of ESPN...After trying to act like the PSU watch dog, they turned around and aired every PSU football game this year...Scumbags!

In 2012 Ron Santo was finally inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame...Too bad it was two years after he died...That place can burn...I'm sure Santo was happy, but he deserved to deliver that speech himself...

What else happened? The Hostess Company went in the tank...No more Twinkies...Who the hell saw that coming?

Art Modell died, and people in Cleveland still hate him, and really lack a clue about how important he was to the NFL...I tried to set them straight HERE...

Speaking of death...in 2012 we saw the LA Kings win the Stanley Cup...And since then, we've been watching the NHL kill itself...

From the looks of it, in 2013 we'll see a number of NFL teams with new head coaches...Including the Browns...

We found out Lance Armstrong was full of SHIT or PEDS...

I started fighting my fight for DADS to start getting some credit...

We saw a big hype about getting that Kony guy...Where are you #Kony2012 people...Fucking guy is still out there...You haven't done shit have you? 

At least the Occupy people lasted a little longer...They showed some conviction...But then they gave up too...Hard to have movement bring any real change, if your movement lacks leadership and direction...And when the media only shows the wack-job wannabe hippies, no one takes you seriously...

In 2012 my kids turned 11, 8, and 2...Holy crap time flies...But it's been fun...They have been the biggest part of my life this year...Going ice skating with them during Browns games may have been the smartest thing I've done...And this weekend, with all the snow we got, we mixed in some sledding too...




Watch him at the bottom of the hill in this next one...




I love hearing my wife in the background, laughing as she says she's "gonna kill him"...We're the best parents!

2012 has had a lot of ups, and probably even more downs...I've seen people wishing the year away...I can't do that...Try to learn from the bad spots, and cherish the great stuff...And one of those great things I'll hold onto is Notre Dame going undefeated in 2012...And hopefully next week, they'll start 2013 with a win...Fuck Sports Illustrated and their prediction...Fuck the haters...Notre Dame is going to make Alabama earn every point they get...And all you Alabama/SEC people, and ND haters are going to be surprised when the Irish win it all...

My prediction is 2013 is going to be a good year...

Have a week...

The Beeze.

Does anyone else have their eyes stuck on those socks? I didn't think so!
I figured I'd start with a fun pic, since I have a feeling I will spend most of this post writing about what assholes people are...

First there is the big NEWS that broke Sunday Morning...




Yep, Penn State finally did something right...They took down the statue of Joe Paterno...But they didn't stop there...They took every bit of that bullshit they had up on those limestone walls..."The Coach, The Educator, The Humanitarian" all the words praising Paterno are gone as well...And they should be...Anyone who covers up child molestation, cannot be called a "Humanitarian"...Shouldn't be called an "Educator" because he wasn't teaching the right things...As for "Coach," who the fuck cares...He was a liar, and a fraud, who enabled the evilest form of creep to prey on young boys, for years...I can only hope that Paterno is in the worst hell anyone can imagine...He deserves it...

Yet, there are people who think that removing the statue was wrong...One bitch called it a "Knee-jerk reaction." Really? It's been talked about for a couple weeks...And by Penn State standards, it's the fastest reaction they have had to anything having to do with Jerry Sandusky raping kids, and Paterno, Spanier, Schultz, and Curley covering it up...

The worst has to be Franco Harris...I have only seen one other person with his level of blind loyalty, and that person is just a stupid, gash, blogger! I'm not making this up...Franco Harris actually said these words...“After I read the Freeh Report, I feel even more strongly about Joe and about his non-involvement in any type of cover-up. There was no cover up. No way would Joe ever cover-up anything like this. No way would Joe protect Sandusky or protect the football program.”

Okay, clearly Harris needs to have his fucking head examined...I'm guessing he must be suffering from a number of concussions from his playing days...He can't really be this fucking stupid!

Harris feels Paterno is the victim here, and it's all the fault of the Board of Trustees...“The Board of Trustees has made every bad decision along the way. These decisions, I’d probably say just about every one, have done things to hurt Penn State.”

I would say, the biggest mistake the board ever made, was not firing Paterno YEARS ago! Not just for the Sandusky shit...Hey, "JoePa" covered that up...They should have fired him for being an old, average coach, whom the game had passed by...The fact that they were too afraid to do that, just let things get worse with all the lies he was willing to take to his grave...Franco Harris is an asshole...He's not alone...There are tons of people out there, just like him...I've heard plenty on the radio, and the news...There's a real problem with the increasing number of stupid people we have in this country!

Next we have to see how hard the NCAA comes down on PSU...For anyone who thinks they shouldn't....You too are an asshole! For the first time the NCAA could take a real stand, and let all Universities know, no matter how big a program, that they won't stand for this kind of bullshit...Yes, the NCAA could take a stand for something other than sports and money...A social stand...That would be amazing...

-Next on my chopping block...The Babseball Hall Of Fame...You may remember THIS post I did in December of 2010...If not, read it...Go ahead, I'll wait...

Sunday, the Baseball Hall of Fame inducted Ron Santo...Too little, WAY TOO FUCKING LATE! The greatest honor the game has, and these fuck-stains waited until Santo was dead...I wish the Santo family would have let me give the acceptance speech...I would have burned the whole fucking place to the ground, metaphorically speaking...As I pointed out in that post I told you to read, Santo's number are right there with the greats at his position, who had no problem getting in...Those ass-hats that vote, make me want to puke in the soup...




-As for other news...Well Friday there was that fucking asshole in Colorado, who opened fire in a packed movie theater, during a midnight showing of "The Dark Knight Rises"...What a piece of shit this fuck-tard is...Luckily, Mrs. Beeze and I aren't deterred by things like that, and we headed out to see it Friday evening...Here's MY_REVIEW of it...

That's it for now...But I'm sure that I may have something else to say by Monday evening...

Have a week...

Later, The Beeze.

Fuck the Baseball Hall Of Fame

A year ago, on the day he died, I wrote THIS about Ron Santo and the Baseball Hall of Fame...

Today it was announced that the veterans committee have elected to put Santo in the Hall...'Better late then never right!?!' NO! Fucking wrong!

Everyone who has voted against Santo should be stripped of their voting privileges...Clearly, they have no clue about what they are doing...That post I have linked above compares his numbers to the great Brooks Robinson...Robinson, who many say was one of the greatest 3rd basemen of all time...And I would agree, but Santo's stats are right in line with his American League counterpart...

Yet it took Santo dying, before these ass-hats realized he belonged in the Hall of Fame...Now he won't get to enjoy it...His family won't get to enjoy it, because he won't be there...I honestly hope his family tells the Hall to go fuck themselves...

I often talked about wanting to go there...Then last year when Santo died, I told myself I'm not going...Never...I still feel that way...As a matter of fact, I'd love to see that idiotic place burn to the ground, along with the homes of those who kept Santo out of the Hall all these years...You're all fucking assholes...

I hope Santo is resting in peace...And I hope those who disrespected him don't.

Holy shit! I didn't start off this Monday's post with a piece of ass...Sorry guys, but I put the T&A aside this week, to pay tribute to my high school Alma Mater...

Now normally I start this post recapping from Thursday or Friday, but this week we're starting in the middle of the weekend...Saturday night, the St. Edward Eagles took on Huber Heights Wayne for the Ohio High School State Championship...Of course football is a huge deal here in Ohio, and St. Edward High School is a big deal in my family...My Dad went there, and my oldest brother went there, and I went there...The other brother didn't, and that's why nobody likes him!

The school has a proud tradition, especially when it comes to athletics...25 Wrestling state championships...11 Hockey state championships...3 in Baseball...1 in Basketball...and until Saturday night, 0 in Football...

This Eagles team has gotten a lot of press around here...The biggest Offensive Line around...All five starters have been highly recruited, and all are BIG! The Eagles have also played the toughest schedule in the state, and one of the toughest in the country...What's really surprising, is this team was 4-6 last year, and after Saturday, they were a perfect 15-0...

But the title game wasn't easy, as they went up against a good Wayne team, lead by their Quarterback, Ohio State recruit, 6'3" 200lb. Braxton Miller...Miller had an excellent game both rushing and passing...The Eagles found themselves down 21-7, but battled back, by their fearless Quarterback, 5'9" 165lb. Kevin Burke...


Burke is well known for his fast feet, but he has no problem making the throws his team needs him to...The Eagles surged ahead 27-21...Then Miller lead Wayne back down the field and took the lead back, 28-27 with 2 and a half minutes left...Burke and company drove it right back and after a touchdown and two-point conversion, the Eagles went ahead 35-28...


Miller would have one last shot, but after being pressured by the Eagles defense, he threw up a desperation pass, that was picked off...Afterwards, Burke said, "I was happy they scored, I wanted to run a two-minute drill. It was awesome." No offence, but Ohio State can have the Miller...I'll take the little guy! Congrats to the Eagles!


Moving on, in What The Fuck news...The Washington Nationals signed Outfielder Jayson Werth for a hell of a lot more than he's worth! 7 years, $126 million! Grossly overpaid, for a career .272 hitter, with a 120 HR and 406 RBI in 8 seasons...Christ Baseball teams are getting retarded with the Money they are throwing around!

Speaking of Baseball being retarded...There's something that Happened Friday that hasn't gotten enough coverage in my eyes...Chicago Cub great, Ron Santo died...His life, career,on and off the field, and the total lack of respect he's gotten, have not gotten the coverage it they deserve...And based on m y numbers, not enough people read what I posted on the topic, so here is a LINK

Of course some of that may have been overshadowed by "The King's" return to Cleveland...Yes, I wrote about that over-hyped bullshit too...RIGHT_HERE

I don't know about you, but at the Beeze house, Sunday's are for getting shit done around the house, doing something fun with the kids, and of course, Football...So let me just make this clear to the neighbors...Stop sending your rotten kids over to my house during the Browns game! I don't like your little fuckers either!

I practically slammed the door in one little girls face today, as I said, "NO! I'M WATCHING THE BROWNS GAME, NOT YOU!"

We also did some Christmas decorating as well...



See, I'm a nice, fucking festive guy!




That's it for now...

Ron Santo has Died and the Hall of Fame is Still Waiting for Him

Chicago Cub legendary 3rd baseman, and longtime Cubs radio announcer, Ron Santo died today at the age of 70, from complications from bladder cancer...Santo battled health issues most of his life, including losing both legs to his battle with diabetes...

During his playing days, Santo was a fan favorite, playing along side greats like Ernie Banks, Ferguson Jenkins, and Billy Williams...All 3 are Hall of Famers...Hall of Famers who wonder why Santo isn't in there with them...They aren't the only ones...I know I've mentioned the Hall's lack of credibility in the past...Yes, I said lack of credibility...Santo not being in the Hall is a disgrace...

Santo played 2243 games, scored 1138 runs, had 2,254 hits, 365 doubles, 67 triples, 342 home runs, 1331 RBI, with a .277 batting average...He wasn't a slouch in the field either, winning 4 Gold Gloves...He had 9 All-Star appearances...

Now growing up, when it came to 3rd baseman, my father compared everyone to his favorite, Hall of Famer, Brooks Robinson...Here's his stats...2,896 games, 1,232 runs scored, 2,848 hits, 482 doubles, 68 triples, 268 home runs, 1,357 RBI, with a .267 batting average...Of course, Robinson, a god with the glove, has 16 Gold Gloves...Other than Gold Gloves, the numbers are pretty damn even, and both these guys played in the same era...

Later, 3rd baseman started being compared to Mike Schmidt...So lets do it...2,404 games, 1,506 runs, 2,234 hits, 408 doubles, 59 triples, 548 home runs, 1,595 RBI, with a .267 batting average...9 Gold gloves...Other than the Home runs, Schmidt's numbers don't tower over Santo either...And Santo carried a better average then both Robinson and Schmidt...

And if all that isn't good enough, Santo had a Hall of Fame worthy career in the broadcast booth...Many people didn't like how he showed his emotions and his loyalty to the Cubs when he called their games...But he was honest, and he was good...

Baseball...The Baseball Writers...The Hall of Fame and it's stupid committee should all be ashamed of themselves...One of the game's greats should have been enshrined in the Hall of Fame years ago, and now he is gone...He was cheated out of what he deserved...And Baseball fans who visit the Hall of Fame have been cheated as well...




Rest In Peace Ron Santo.

Monday Moaning

It's been some time since I posted those words...Well at least it feels that way...The vacation to Boston was great...It always is...And it's always hard to leave...I've posted a couple chapters on the trip, and I'll be posting the third tomorrow...But now we have to get back in the moaning back on track...

I'm gonna start with The Baseball Hall of Fame...Congratulations to Jim Rice (it's taken too long for him to get his just due) and to Rickey Henderson...Rickey always seemed like an asshole, maybe that's why I liked him, and he was a no-brainer to get in...

That said...F**k the Hall of Fame! I said it...I don't care if you don't like it...I'll continue to say that until Bert Blyleven and Ron Santo get in...And ya know what...Pete Rose is a douche...But he should be in there too...

How the hell can you not have this guy in there? Look at Blyleven's stats and explain to me why he isn't in....http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/b/blylebe01.shtml


Now here's Santo's stats...
http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/santoro01.shtml?redir
-
Yeah, I've always been a bit of a Cubs fan, but that doesn't matter...During his career, Santo was compared to Brooks Robinson, who is in the Hall of Fame, and rightfully so...Compare the numbers...http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/r/robinbr01.shtml

That's what the baseball purists love so much, and always bring up when it comes to the Hall...

And since I'm ranting about baseball...Things haven't changed here in Cleveland...The Indians still suck...Now there are rumbling that the Tribe may trade Ryan Garko...Garko has always seemed to not fit in with dummy manager Eric Edge's brilliant plan...Even though he lead the team in RBI that past two seasons...Here's GM mark Shapiro's thought process...'He's good. Trade him!' Sorry Pirates fans...Shapiro trained your dolt of a GM Neil Huntington...

Red Sox fans are happy...Julio Lugo is gone...What a hack he is...

Everyone wants Roy Halladay...But who's gonna pay the hefty price? There's a lot of talk about him going to Philly...I'm going to say he's gonna end up with the Angels...Hey if I'm gonna make predictions, why the hell should i make them predictable?

While I was away, footage of sultry ESPN vixen Erin Andrews, NAKED, were posted on the Internet...I'm pissed I missed that...I tried a link I got from Tosh.0, which is f**king hilarious...But a virus tried to f**k with me...My shit caught it...Beat it down...There's no doubt in m y mind that it was some horny dude she works with, who just wanted to know if she looks as good naked as she does with clothes on...
-
-
Yeah, I'd do her!
-
What else...Big Ben Roethlisberger is being accused of rape...I guess he got tired of stickin' it to the Browns...But seriously, this story seems fishy...No, I'm not talking about Ben's finger...No criminal complaint filed...No police investigation...She comes out a year later with this story...I hate to sound cold...But it sounds like she may be lying b!tch...
-
That said...I want you to checkout this link, because anytime somebody calls out "The World Wide Leader in Sports" for their bull$h!t...I love it!

-

Moving along...Wasn't there some bike race going on lately...What happened there...Does anyone care about any part of it, other then where Lance Armstrong finished...He finished 3rd, which is pretty damn amazing since he was retired for 4 years...
-
On a very sad note...Boxer Vernon Forrest was murdered Saturday night, in what appears to be an attempted robbery...To manyForrest was simply known for be a talented fighter...But what was more important was the charity work he did...He helped to create and establish Destiny's Child, Inc. which is a number of group homes that provide housing and assistance to mentally challenged adults...
-
Forrest was 38 years old.
-
That's it for now...I'll be posting more on the Boston trip this week, and some other nonsense...
