The Flu, The Tampa Bay Devil Rays And Other Nuissances

Jump to Comments

I sure know about this flu that is taking down so many players. I’ve had it since almost a week ago. It started with a weird stomach ache, then it turned into headache and runny nose, and it hasn’t gone away. Not very pleasant indeed.

Many ballplayers have it too. I know for sure of Varitek, Beckett and now Matsuzaka in Boston and I just heard that Blue Jay Alex Ríos has been out for two days because of it. I hope it doesn’t become an epidemic. I’m doing my part by staying home.

Now that I mention the Jays, I’m sitting in front of the TV watching them face the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in a small ballpark in Orlando. Has MLB finally realized that Tampa Bay is actually a Minor League ball club? I’m sure they know; I suppose MLB is simply hoping that yet another sucker of a community will fall for their new-ballpark-or-we-leave scam and surrender their taxpayer’s money.

Of course, the Jays are not much better. I’m feeling more and more disappointed with this year’s team as the season progresses. On top of that, Goofy is waving to the crowd in Orlando as I write; I can’t stand Goofy. Stupid Goofy, stupid Jays and stupid flu.
