Just a few of the strange things that have happened in professional baseball over the past week or so:
- A-Rod walks out on his $252 million contract with the Yankees.
- Troy Tulowitzki and Todd Helton both get hosed when Gold Gloves are awarded.
- Tulo gets hosed again when the Rookie of the Year goes to a guy that made almost 30 fielding errors this season.
- Clint Hurdle finishes 3rd in NL Manager of the Year voting - behind the skippers of 2 teams the Rockies swept in the playoffs.
- A-Rod agrees to a new $275 million contract with the Yankees.
Next you'll be telling me Matt Holliday will get screwed over for the NL MVP award.
If it weren't for the fact that Barry "soon to be needing bail" Bonds just got indicted for being the lying, cheating, head's so big it even obstructs justice, piece of crap that he is, I'd think that Major League Baseball might actually have a problem or two. And don't even get me started on pro football (Mike Vick, OJ, Pac-Man, Ricky Williams, etc).
It all just makes me really glad I TiVo'd all those rugby games earlier in the year...
