Just Hit the Damn Ball

I know I’m a little late on this but I feel like it had to be said.  I can’t take all the credit for this particular post because it represents a newfound point of view exposed by a friend of mine.  Alex Rodriguez took steroids in the 2003 MLB season.  Woopty fucking do.  I’m going to express the one line that can truly encompass my feelings for the whole steroids scandal made famous by Tom Hanks.  ”There’s no crying in baseball.”  The only people who this actually matters to is ummmm….no one.  Who cares if athletes want to shoot HGH into their asses?  They want the same thing we want out of them.  That is, to go out to the plate and smash the living hell out of that  baseball.  The few times that I have actually been to a baseball game, the only thing I wanted to see was actions that required unbelievable amounts of strength.  That includes hitting balls OUT the park, gunning down a runner from the outfield, taking the hit at home plate, and throwing a fastball over 100 mph.  If an athlete wants to get juiced up to achieve those tasks, then so be it.  People forget that after the strike the home run contest between McGuire and Sosa (two supposed steroid abusers) brought baseball’s popularity back.  We’re not worried about the integrity of America’s pastime, that was lost when you paid him $250 million while the rest of America is in a recession.  I mean seriously, wouldn’t you want to be the best.  I try to be the best creative designer I can everyday.  I take in all the tools necessary to achieve that goal.  I have a mouse, tablet, and the latest version of Photoshop.  Same thing goes for athletes.  They have the best sneakers, bats, gloves, and performance enhancing drugs.  It’s just part of the natural progression of the game.  Juice up A-Rod, help the Yankees get to the World Series please.  We need it.
