It never entered my mind we could be wasting our time. What am I gonna do? What about me? Oh. What about me?. -Kenny Rogers
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! Big Papi. My favorite two words in the dictionary. The biggest badddest big time hitter that’s ever been borned. The biggest baddest big time hitter that’s ever been borned leaving a big hole in the Sox line-up. A colossal hole. A gargantuan hole. A monstrous hole. A big bad hole. A World Series hole. A hole Manny alone cannot fill. Not for the long haul. The strong haul. The Genghis Khan haul.
In earlier days. Say five years ago days. Say preBalco days. PreLance Williams and Mark Fainaru-Wada days. PreGame of Shadows days. Maybe those days there. In those days, this cat wouldn’t be a question.
Here you have a free agent DH. An oldish free agent DH. Frank Thomas oldish free agent DH. A free Agent DH who was an All-Star just this year previous. An All-Star who led the National League in on-base percentage. An All-Star who led the National league in OPS. An All-Star that led all of baseball in bombs per at bat. Had as many bombs as Magglio Ordonez. More bombs than Vlad Guerrero. More than the Big Hurt himself. More than Carlos Delgado. More than Gary Sheffield. More than those big boppers. Oh baby you know what I like. No one likes Barry Lamar Bonds.
You can call it collusion. You can call it anything you like. But no one wants to touch this cat. Pole cat. Barry Le Pew. Ahhh…la belle femme skunk fatale! Tch-tch. People are worn out from the whole steroid mess. No team wants to take that on. Not Tampa Bay. Not Oakland. No Boston. Not nobody. It’s not just that Bonds cheated. It’s not that. A whole bunch of guys cheated. Big guys. Little guys. Guys you never heard of. Guys who climb on rocks. Fat guys, skinny guys, even guys with chicken pox. The difference is that Bonds not only got caught, he thumbed his nose at everyone. Gave ‘em all the old high hat. And I’m sicka the high hat! And that goes double for you Roger!
Public Spectacle:
Peace out homies. Six two and Even!
Need More? Barry Bonds, Boston Red Sox, David Ortiz, MLB
