A change in motion with baseball trends

With anything that has flair usually another rhythm and reason changes an element for the worse. Tradition meant something with utmost class and integrity was there in baseball. I have yet to see it restored. The most professional trait of the game was sportsmanship. Now as with previous years too much focuses on popularity and marketing appeal with nothing showing the true desire behind the game. Players have cheated to screw up historical accomplishments where asterisks should be marked. If anything the steroids era messed the true quality and American way about the game. Plus there are too many greedy asses around and an abundant of so many freaking foreigners who can't speak a lick of English. That sure as hell isn't the American Pastimes for which it stands to me!

Sports tagline with meaning

Every year the sports marketing grows more with significance aimed at brand value. So many baseball players like to enjoy their talent once it's displayed. Such ways to bring in the fan base and money involves the taglines generally. Such catchy is what is required for the most. An example would be along the lines as this: If it's a top of the line with prestige it's nothing other than the best. If it's A-Rod it will leave astray and full of entity without true value in the end.

Throwing beer to the wind no big deal for a fan

When idiotic matters arise in MLB fans throw caution to the freaking wind. With the latest incident against a Phillies' player in Chicago it seems as if courtesy doesn't exist at times. Apparently some moron at Wrigley Field thinks it's funny to soak an outfielder who makes a mistake with a pitcher of beer just because that spectator didn't like something he did. He gives a crap if these types in the bleacher paid admission. The point is it's completely irresponsible and stupid.

How can anybody enjoy a damn baseball game especially if it's a beloved franchise which goes the usual highs and lows each season? The excellence to the game just isn't evident at this turn in the year. Whether it's a problem with player issues, team management, and belligerent fans nobody seems to really change much in baseball. It's all about who has the most to boast and look extravagant with it's comes a hot streak or off and on popularity. The Phillies won the World Series last year and pretty much earned their rings yet other continue to f--king struggle because nobody seems to give a damn then jumps on the bandwagon. They want to ride the wave to success then jump off when the going gets tough. In regard to those, who gives a flying crap about you!

All these controversial events in baseball alone show why sportsmanship just isn't there sometimes along with decency in crowds. If a person can't get what they want right when the getting is great then they turn vengeful in a way or display an act of ignorance. Everybody want to have fun in the summer when go to the ballpark, but too much focus on one negative causes the majority to lose momentum in the right direction and makes others feel uncomfortable in an usual friendly, high energy atmosphere. Thanks to the moron fan just like a former young fan at Wrigley years ago people never seem to learn when it comes to interference. I used to really enjoy the game. It's not what it used to be at all anymore.

Griffey, M's squeak out 3-2 victory

The Mariners managed to pull off a 3-2 win yesterday against Toronto. Ken Griffey Jr. returned to the lineup for a 2-for-4 performance with 2 RBIs. In the 5th inning the Mariners struck first with a run in the 5th inning. With a good start from Seattle's R. Rowland Smith the game stayed within reason. Ichiro supplied extra offense with just enough from relief to close the ball game.

Who said Ken Griffey Jr. is washed-up or still can't cut it? I've noticed how sometimes fans rant and rave over the stupidest things yet when a man of his distinction comes back with a bit of flair and produces it's kind of surprising. Such an organization should be so fortunate to have a veteran, talented star such as Griffey. The young players fill in with great potential and energy, although sometimes it's the leadership in the others that make the difference. The Mariners have to contend soon with the following teams: Texas Rangers, Royals, and Rays.

All-Star jubilee with lame results

Apparently, the Great National Pastime isn't quite what it used to be these days. The true devout players are confused sometimes I think over personal team issues. Well, it wasn't much to behold with a 5-4 final. With much to nobody's surprise or my concern at all the President made an appearance to throw out the first pitch. Fans came to see a spirited affair between both leagues by some of the best talent in the game today. Everybody who enjoys baseball can't always get what they want.

Even I didn't get to watch most of it due to other distractions. Seeing as the game takes place in certain cities each year is fine, but there was nothing dazzling about the contest. Who can people pretend to put on a fake impression to much of the non-delight of the crowd. No one came to see the President walk himself to the mound and toss the little ball to home plate. The loyal fans wanted to see action on the field and of course homeruns. That doesn't always happen. Last year it seemed the damn Commissioner allowed the game to be prolonged for extra exposure and ratings. If the season doesn't get better with excitement and can't refrain from commercial appeal then the hell with watching baseball for the most part for me.

Randy Johnson is not done yet, new home is with Giants

For a man in his 40's Randy Johnson has surpassed measures which few pitchers today can match. His time in the majors has been worthy of remembering. Coming up with the Expos I'm sure he was overlooked. His strikeouts totals now are over 3,000. Most fans reminisce at times about his days as a Seattle Mariner. He overpowered batters with his velocity on pitches. There will never be another pitcher like him!

Now as a member with the Giants nobody really cares much about him. I still do because despite it all he's my favorite player ever. Fans among others spout off too much about who is next best talent and forget about the quality players still around in the game. For a once dominating pitcher Johnson still has a good fastball and value to any MLB team. Why people underscore is beyond me.

I'd typically like to see on a team where he can be seen as an asset again such as in Chicago. For reasons which are obvious such veteran leadership sometimes makes a reasonable difference. If baseball owners cared more about quality rather than whatever else is on their mind than the national past-time could hold higher esteem and value again. Pitchers like the Big Unit don't last forever.

Monopoly money in baseball: throwing it to the wind

Today owners and managers really think they're top sh*t. Whether it's wheeling and dealing and just plain stealing a person's time they don't truly care about the fans. Well, at least not most of the owners. It's not what talent a franchise has these days yet how much freaking greed they crave to fuel their idiotic business lifestyles. I don't care how good something looks on paper if it results in the same old stupid clusterf**k of problems each season with failure no one truly is happy. It's like throwing a bunch of money is the air to see if it floats despite the fact hope and moral decreases big time.

Fans in general will always be there to fill seats yet without success things go awry. Too much time is pissed away agruing over money issues and withholding too much pertinent information. When idiocy alongside selfishness and utter bottled up feelings are not displayed face-to-face then usually doom happens to those who least expect it. I tired of reiterating these damn points on this page because baseball owners never get the freaking message! Go luck with the season f**kers!
