That is my attempt at putting an original spin on the obligatory reaction to David Ortiz’ steroid scandal. No Spanish-speaking friends were contacted to verify the accuracy of this crappy blog title. Funny when these things happen how everybody tries to one-up each other’s clever facebook statii (or is it statuses?) Everyone does that “Oh, say it Ain’t So, Ortiz” line, or something kinda flat and generic like “Anyone who idolizes baseball players these days is setting themselves up for disappointment.” I gotta admit, these revelations just don’t phase me anymore. To be even more offensive, it’s kinda like how people reacted to Virgina Tech versus the hysteria after Columbine. We’ve just grown immune. And it’s NOT because I’m a Sox fan and in denial that it’s our turn to have our current and former stars martyred. Yeah, so more Yankees players got thrown under the bus a few years back than Red Sox affiliated players. Yankees players suffered the brunt of the steroid scandal before it became passe. So Yankees fans…..don’t bitch that we’re not catching enough heat over Manny and Ortiz. Bitch that the general public outside the New York market just isn’t phased by it anymore and you guys just look idiots harping over the fact it’s close to home for us now, too.
Yanks are very likely to lose shortly…..
but you never know considering the White Sox’ 6 run 2nd, and the Red Sox are warming up with a run in the 1st and Martinez making his big debut. Now I have to set about finding someone to watch the game with at a public venue, lest settle for my freeloaded MLB Gameday Audio subscription.
