Carlos Lee: Raul Ibanez In Reverse?

Five gears in reverse.  You think I don’t know what I’m doing.  Another fashionable first.  Like walking down the road to ruin.  -Elvis Costello

Public Service Announcement:  Ok, here we go!  There was a time the Houston Astros’ Carlos Lee was one of the most feared hitters in baseball.  One of the most revered hitters in baseball.  Paul Revered.  Now here’s a little story, I’ve got to tell about a big bad  bad brother you know so well.  Here’s a little story about El Caballo.  Giddyup!  There was a time when El Caballo knocked in more runs than anybody.  Anybody.  Knocked in more runs in a line-up that has no one who deserves to be knocked in.  Knock Knock.  Who’s there?  Carlos Lee, bitch!  That’s who!  Now?  Not so much.   

My good friends over at Midwest Sports Fans, made a big splash when the kinda sorta atrributed Raul Ibanez’ new found prowess at the plate to something other than hard word work and determination.  I said then, and I’ll say now, we didn’t paint this landscape.  We were all once believers.  We sat around every Saturday morning waiting for This Week In Baseball.  We studied the back of our sweet smelling baseball cards.  We had faith.  We didn’t do this.  Like my main man Flavor Flav always says, “It was you that chose your due. You built this maze you can’t get through.  I tried to help you all I can.  Now I can’t do nuttin’ for you man.”  So don’t come finger waggin’to us.  I’m looking at you, Carlos Lee. 

Public Spectacle:

Peace out homies.  Six two and Even!
