Sux to Be the Sox ::
In an only marginally related topic, I find myself cheering against this Little League team from Harlem. Don't get me wrong - these boys are extremely talented; probably the most talented team in the Series - but I just can't stand the showboating. Every time they get a big hit, hit a home run, or get a big out, the first thing they have to do is rub it in the faces of the other teams. I see the job their manager is doing and have nothing but the utmost respect for the man, but as for the players themselves, I'll never be able to respect them until they learn how to respect others. For this reason, I'm also starting to lose a lot of respect for Harold Reynolds, who daily makes excuses for these players by saying that's just the way they were raised. Let me tell you something Mr. Reynolds: if that's the way they were raised - and I don't care if they're from Harlem or the Hamptons - then I think it reveals some major issues with the way parents are raising their children these days. I've never been to New York, but I have absolutely no ambition to ever visit New York either. Why? Because from everything I've ever read, seen, or heard about New York and New Yorkers, this is just the way they treat and act toward everyone, and why should I ever give a damn about anyone who so completely doesn't give a damn about me. Screw New York.
