PESKY BELONGS BACK IN DUGOUT!
September 11, 2008
I just want to cowboy up once and for all say "EFF MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL".....
Hear me out......Why you ask do I say "F MLB"??? let me explain....FOR THE RULE THAT FORCES RED SOX LEGEND AND HERO JOHNNY PESKY FROM SITTING IN THE DUGOUT WITH HIS TEAM. The same team who's history he helped to create, and to inspire and lead and navigate through the changing fortunes of time. Pesky had "earned" his right to be there, but no........Most things come and go, not the RED SOX FAMILY..Red Sox culture is thick with generations of tradition, laden with pride, decorated with the ever changing faces of glory.....The SOX are a constant in an otherwise unpredictable, unreliable and disappointing universe...Even in our past heartache there was a semblance of order that transcended all earthly waves of mortality and the unseen beacons of righteousness....RED SOX are FOREVER...like God and taxes.....We are guaranteed three things in life 1. we will be born 2. we will die 3. In between the BOSTON RED SOX & with that given are the fact that if ex-players would like to sit in the dugout then they should be encouraged to NOT be forbidden to in the name of MLB...F*&K THAT!!!!!
People come and people go, but the BOSTON RED SOX live on.....FOREVAH!
Our legendary heroes are like legends from Greek or Roman mythology...
JUST LISTEN TO THE NAMES AS THEY ROLL OFF YOUR TONGUE...RUTH...YOUNG....SHORE....SPEAKER....FOXX.....WILLIAMS.....YATRZEMSKI.....RICE....LYNN.....MONTGOMERY....CARBO....FISK...ORTIZ....RAMIREZ....DREW......
I could name more but my five year old isnt going to bed as previously instructed so duty calls.......
BUT IN CONCLUSION, ........
THE FOLLOWING article PROMPTED MY LITTLE rant rembering that MLB is full of dogsh*&t and dont give two sh*&ts about the LOYALTY/ RESPECT/ FAMILY theme that runs rampant among us REALEST OF REAL BOSOX AND YES, NY YANKEE FANS.... I HATE THEM AND I'LL FIGHT THEM ALL UNTIL THE WHEELS COME OFF, BUT THE SQUANKEES HAVE SOME STRAIGHT LOYALIST FANS TOO.....I RESPECT THAT....I RESPECT REGGIE JACKSON & I SURE AS HELL RESPECT HIS GODDAMMED RIGHT TO SIT IN THE YANKEE DUGOUT ANY GODDAMMMED TIME HE WANTS....SH*&T, MR. OCTOBER BETTER GET FREE YANKEE DOGS FOR LIFE.......AND SAME FOR PESKY but FENWAY FRANKS.....
MLB IS WAAAAAY OFF BASE HERE. SELIG NEEDS TO EXTRICATE HIS HEAD FROM HIS PROVERBIAL ASS AND MAKE BASEBALL REAL AGAIN...LET PETE ROSE IN THE HALL OF FAME......FORGET ABOUT HGH.....PLAY BALL?,......PLEASE.....ONCE AND FOR ALL?
AND ELIMINATE THE "RULES" THAT SAY..."since the rules limit team personnel to just players, managers and six coaches."...this is a bunch of crap....
GOTTA RUN...thanks for listening....GO RED SOX!!! FOR LONGER THAN LIFE!!!!
Major League Baseball has dropped the hammer on Reggie Jackson, both forbidding him from his perch inside the Yankees dugout the rest of the season as well as fining him $250 for taking the field during the Yankees-Rays melee last week. From the New York Post:
"I am going to call Bud (Selig) today," said Jackson, who explained he was on the field in the role of a peacemaker. "I called him (Saturday) and left a message. I was trying to make peace. I didn't have my number (44) on but I had the windbreaker that a lot of guys wear. (Don) Zimmer was on the field. He walked out; I jogged."
The fine is just dumb. I mean, $250? That's a lunch tab for Reggie. But as far as being banished, fair is fair and even a personal appeal to Selig won't change anything. What Jackson doesn't realize is he's not being given the boot so much as being reminded he was never supposed to be there in the first place. The Red Sox ran into this same problem a year ago when MLB told them they couldn't have legend Johnny Pesky hanging around the dugout, since the rules limit team personnel to just players, managers and six coaches.
