Why I Hate People

or, a smattering of the crap that goes through my head on a daily basis...

Is there an equivalent to Festivus for Easter?


No, you say?

Well, fuck it... I'm still going to air my grievances! And it has been a long few days, so some of this shit has been bouncing around in my head since last week...

First, to the Leafs: Talk about a fucking choke job on Friday and again on Sunday. What a bunch of douchbags. One point out of the playoffs, and you get blown out 7-2? What he cock is that shit? It's not like I'm wanting you to knock the Habs out... but at least fucking try! If you had won one of those games, you'd be in the fucking 7 seed right now! [I have an explanation for why I don't seem to hate the Leafs anymore... but that's for another time and... well, just another time. This is certainly the place, but I'm busy venting right now]

To the NCAA Final Four Referees: Thanks for fucking nothing, and ruining what should have been a game for the ages on Saturday. For the first time that I can think of, we have two potential NBA All-Star 7-footers about to go at each other... and what do you do? You call ticky-tacky fouls and sit one of them, while leaving the other emasculated on the floor, since he can't play his game. Bullshit.

To the Ohio State preimeter players, other than Mike Conley, Jr. who can't hit a three at the best of times: Try making a fucking jumper. Your horse, Greg Oden, just put up a game for the ages, but you still got blown out.

To Wrestlemania 23: While I didn't watch it, could that Battle of the Billionaires have ended any differently? While Trump actually getting his hands dirty and honest-to-God pretend fighting was nice, did anybody actually think he'd agree to get his head shaved? Good, I didn't think any of you were that gullible.... wait, the reason you said "No" was because none of you watch wrestling? Oh...um........ I mean I don't either.... {clears throat} ...moving on.

To all the fucktards who write about baseball in the US: Can we all stop blowing sunshine up the Yankees' collective asses? Am I the only person who can't figure out how with Pettite injured that somehow still gives them enough pitching to compete with the Red Sox, or even (heaven forbid!) the Blue Jays? The BoSox should take the division, but as for second? That's up for grabs, as far as I'm concerned. I'd say the Jays and Yanks lineups both leathal, but are basically a wash... and even if you give the Yanks' bullpen an edge (after B.J. Ryan, the Jays are a little dodgy), the Jay starters are miles better.... Ugh.

Now that I've vented, some Tip o' the Hats to go with my above-noted Wags of the Finger....

To Final Four MOP Corey Brewer: Way to make a few extra bucks, Corey. You just vaulted into the first round, and maybe even a lotery pick.

To the Habs: Do I dare break out the jersey? Sit on it for now? Alright...... but still, Woo! :)

To the Raps: Way to clinch a playoff berth, guys, in Year 1 of the Bryan Colangelo Era... and with a 6 1/2 game lead, the divison shouldn't be far behind!

Finally, to the biggest highlight of my weekend:

    RE: baseball.
    I share your complaint, I haven't been watching the majors as closely as I used to but even to this casual observer it's obvious that the Yanks aren't the dominant team the baseball media make them out to be...
    Of course I could be wrong... the baseball insider @ TSN thinks I'm wrong... he's picked the Yankees to win it all this year saying they've got too much offence and enough pitching. You can check him out here - I think he's wrong. World Series Champs: Detroit Tigers just cuz they haven't won it in 20+ years and they have Gary Sheffield who started his career the last time the Tigers had a decent team.

    The Tigers are another media darling who are likely to suffer the same fate as the ChiSox last year.

    We statheads call it "regression to the mean", I believe.
