Baseball : Imperfect, Or Just Lazy?
"Baseball is imperfect."
This is what I am told every time I start bitching about the bullshit rules of baseball. I am sick and fucking tired of hearing this shit. I am sick and fucking tired of being told that it's "tradition." I am sick and fucking tired of being sick and fucking tired. And is it any wonder that the people I hear this shit from the most is Yankees fans? Why? Because that shit ALWAYS works in their favor, that's why!
The reason that "baseball is imperfect" is because it couldn't be any other way 100 years ago. They didn't possess the technology that we enjoy today, and it was impossible for one guy 500 feet away to tell if a fan had interfered with a ball or not. It just couldn't be done. It can today, though.
Every other sport has utilized today's advanced video technology to make their officiating as accurate as possible. Even a sport as fast-paced as basketball uses instant replay from time to time. It's not really even that rare. Baseball, however, continues to insist that "imperfection is just part of the game." BULLSHIT!
You're telling me that 150 years of "tradition" is more important to you than the millions, if not billions, of dollars baseball rakes in every single year. You're telling me that 150 years of "tradition" is worth more than, say, somebody OTHER than the fucking Yankees winning the title? And I don't wanna hear any shit about "the Yankees haven't won it all in 5 years." Fuck that. They've been in contention every one of those years, haven't they?
Sorry, but "tradition" is just another way of saying, "We're too fucking lazy to change it." The people who endorse this shit are NEVER the ones who have watched a series-winning home run get turned into a series-ending out because some dickhead in the stands reached over the wall. And nevermind the fact that EVERYBODY at home can CLEARLY see that the ball was fucked with. Are you telling me that they can't have some kind of replay system so that the umpire can ACTUALLY SEE WHAT FUCKING HAPPENED?
By the standards of every other major sport in the WORLD, baseball is still in the fucking dark ages. This is a game that relies ENTIRELY on 4 men who may or may not be looking at the same thing to come to a concensus on shit that happened hundreds of feet from ANY OF THEM? BULL FUCKING SHIT!!!
Y'know, my main problem with this is fan interference, which could EASILY be remedied by simply separating the fans from the wall by a few feet. It's really not that big a deal to anybody but the Yankees, because the Yankees are the only team that sells out every game. It wouldn't even matter to any other team because there are ALWAYS empty seats everywhere OTHER than the Bronx, or wherever the fuck Yankee stadium is.
Baseball, your "imperfection" and "tradition" are RAPING every team in the league, and I for one, as of this day, am NEVER going to patronize your game again. Until this shit gets fixed, I'm out. I'm gone. I'm fucking done with this shit, and those of you who are smart, you'll ban it, too. Because MY fucking money is NOT going to be supporting a game that DOES NOT CARE whether the outcomes are correct or not. So fuck baseball. Fuck baseball up its stupid, fucking ass.
Oh, and fuck the Yankees, too, just because I fucking hate them.
