BASEBALL '03
After Babe left us, Steve said, 'Why didn't you ask him to hit a home run for you in tonight's game?' I am a baseball fanatic. What this means, in the most pragmatic sense, is that when I see real, live baseball players (especially first basemen for some odd reason) in a setting different from the playing field, I become a stalker and am often forcibly restrained by friends, civilians, and in one notable instance, Kato Kaelin... I bought a sweatshirt that was the exact same gray as the color of my uniform. I wore it under my jersey on particularly cold nights. Nobody else on the team matched nearly as well as I did. It was almost if some of them didn’t care that they were wearing blue or purple shirts under their uniforms. I still don’t get it. In 1975, on the day I was born, the Houston Astros beat the New York Mets, 6-2. If you’ll allow me, I would like to propose that the seemingly inconsequential victory of ‘Stros over Mets—of Cain over Abel, if you will—sparked something in the Houston Astros franchise. As I write, baseball season is only days away, and I'm so excited. If there is one thing (other than Vegas (reviewed last time)) Brad gets excited about, it is baseball. Not only does he still collect baseball cards, but they are all he asked for for Christmas. He was happy to review his favorite sport for us, and even tell us what teams we should like and who we shouldn't. Aaron coulda sworn he liked Sox of all colors, but what does he know? BRAD'S REVIEWS: [September '03] with the recent onset of cable television, one has a KA-KA-phony of things to watch. you can blame americas 50% divorce rate on the following shows. [August '03] sometimes i wish i didnt have to take care of myself. sometimes i look like i dont take care of myself when i actually do take care of myself, so it makes me wonder why i even bother using soap in the shower when im going to get another boil on my back anyways. so here are some reviews on basic hygene. [April '03] If there is one thing (other than Vegas (reviewed last time)) Brad gets excited about, it is baseball. Not only does he still collect baseball cards, but they are all he asked for for Christmas. He was happy to review his favorite sport for us, and even tell us what teams we should like and who we shouldn't. Aaron coulda sworn he liked Sox of all colors, but what does he know? [March '03] Brad has what he likes to call the "vegases". Brad tells you why you need to embrace Las Vegas for what it is and love it. [December '02] Brad is sick, so we improvised. [October '02] Remember those old OK Soda commercials and how they had a 1-800 number? This is kinda like one of those. [September '02] Brad reviews bodies, and is sure to offend some people. If only with his grammar and punctuation. Our only belief is that possibly his humor is inversely proportional to his literacy. [August '02] Brad thinks he should get a Pultzer (sic) for his reviews this time. We were going to make a joke that we were surprised he even spelled it right... then we noticed he didn't. [July '02] Brad's reviews speak for themselves, but we must say we're not sure why Brad is not a practitioner of things like grammar and capitalization. Actually, we are surprised he doesn't send his reviews in written in crayon on construction paper. [June '02] The first in what became a series of Brad reviewing whatever was on his mind. [May '02] The movie review that started it all. |
