Eat Shit and DIE!!!

Alright, so I don't really want anyone to eat shit or die, because if they do no one would read this blog or the people reading this would simply have a bad taste in their mouths... In actuality, the heading was geared towards the media and the New York Yankees. Since the day the Tigers beat the Yankees in game 4 of the ALDS, I have heard little to nothing about the Tigers. Will the Boss fire Torre, what will become of A-Rod, and, man, did the Yankees blow it...

Screw that. A-Rod has no balls and sucks in the playoffs. Torre is a great manager who can handle the Egos rampaging through that dugout, and the team lost because their pitching is a bunch of old men who are no longer good and a bunch of young men who were never good. Brian Cashman is a fool with a blank check to build a team, but what he does not realize is that chemistry is much more important than people believe. How often do teams who do not really like each other win? Think about it, most (generalizations lie ahead) teams that win championships are relatively close knit. The Pistons, the Red Sox, others... You see my point.

So, in order to make the Yankees better, they need to kick A-Rod to the curb and make him a problem for some other team with a shitty GM. Trade him for some young pitching, starters and bullpen. Do the same with Giambi, maybe even Sheffield. Keep Jeter, Cano, Jesus, Melky, Wang, and some other players I am too lazy to look up right now. They have some good players, but they need good people too. Good team players. Players that are not so disenfranchised that they will play hard no matter what. And why am I giving the Yankees time on this blog, the media already talks about them enough. Screw them, let's get to more important things.

The game tonight. Tigers A's, Robertson and Zito. I believe that Robertson is a highly underrated pitcher. How many complete games did he pitch this year and last year that he LOST because of NO run support? That is my only concern tonight. I think the Tigers and the A's are very comparable. Both have good defense, timely hitting, and great pitching. Also, as mentioned above, the A's and Tigers are tight teams. Once the Yanks were broken, the Tigers walked all over them. The A's will not be broken in a similar manner. I think this will be a tightly contested series that... the... TIGERS will win. Read the previous blog to notice that I picked both the Tigers and the A's. So now, Big Steve, is picking the Tigers.

But why? I believe that Leyland has the heart and the confidence of his team and that will carry them through. Ken Macha is a good manager, but I don't think he is as inspirational as the Leyland. Did you see the celebration after the Tigers beat the Yankees? This Tigers team cares for one another and those bonds will carry them through. How individual games turn out, I cannot say, but one way or another the Tigers will win.

Finally, I had another reason for the above title. It refers to in-genuine people. Recently I have been around people who say one thing and do another. This bothers me to no end, because you never can know where these people are coming from. You have to give people the benefit of the doubt, but there are those people who take every advantage of that. I could give many examples, but that would not be fair to those shitheads who are lying and dishonest. It would not be right to those assholes who take what you give only to turn a cold shoulder on you in response. I know my words are worthless to stop it, but I am frustrated about it anyway.

I realize this blog is getting overly vague and pointless, so let me end it. If you have a history or are friends with someone and then you turn your back on them, you are dumb. If people reach out to help you and you spurn them, you deserve no help anymore. If you take what people are offering you, you owe it to them to return it back to them (unless it is those coupon people or people handing shit out in the diag). I guess what I am trying to say is that the people around us make us who we are. The impact you have in the world is on others. It is your duty as a human being to make that impact positive. And if someone is a dick and continues to be a dick, only then can you tell them to eat shit and die!
