Crying Rangers Kid Learns a Good Lesson

Hola over privileged entitled crybabies! By now most of you guys have probably seen the video of the couple at the Texas Rangers game who grabbed the ball tossed into the crowd by a Rangers player right in front of a little kid. Whether the ball was intended for the kid isn’t known, but he very clearly believed it was. What followed was a world-class fit by the boy and the couple literally mocking the kid by taking pictures of themselves with the ball and laughing.

If you haven’t you can see the video HERE.

Now, the couple is taking a lot of flak over this today. People say they are mean and rude and all that. Others claiming that it’s an OUTRAGE! It seems like everyone is trashing them for not giving the ball to that kid. Well, everyone except me.

Why should they give him the ball? Does he have some God-Given right to it? Do we know for sure the Rangers player was throwing to that kid? I don’t really think he was. He seemed to me to just be chucking the ball into the stands. And you know what? Sucks for him that he’s just a little guy with a short reach and his dad wouldn’t knock anyone out of the way to get the ball for him.

I’m not one of these people who believe we should all kowtow to children. Or even really care about their delicate psyches. Or that they are all special. Or that they should all be allowed to do whatever they want, whenever they want to. The sooner they learn that life isn’t fair, the better. We don’t need to let them live in some fantasy world where they start believing that the world is a decent place and life isn’t going to be hard. That kid at the Rangers game got his first lesson in how brutal life is.

Well, he did until some pansy-ass guy came down and gave the kid a ball. I can’t stand it when people give into these entitled little brats. In fact, that’s the very reason the other couple was right not to give him the ball. If you watch the video, after the man grabs the ball, the kid reaches out like it’s his. He seems to think he deserves that ball. Talk about your sense of entitlement! Go back to all the rest of the hippies at the Occupy Dallas camp kid!

Besides, we don’t know the whole story. This happened in the 8th inning so that couple had been sitting next to the whiny spoiled brat for two plus hours already. God only knows how much crap they had already had to put up with. They probably had to pretend to be nice to the kid as he kept turning to them saying “Hi! I have a glove!” 893,519 times. The kid probably was allowed to kick the chair in front of him repeatedly with mommy doing nothing bus saying “No, no honey, we don’t do that” but not actually making him stop. I have doubt that this kid probably pees in the ball pit at Chuck E. Cheese. 

Hell that was probably the kids fourth or fifth fit of the night. Every time the guy with the candy, hotdogs and cracker jacks came by and mommy and daddy said no, the kid probably started screaming and throwing his usual entitled fit. I’m sure mommy and daddy gave in to each of those fits and got him something. Trust me, this kid has his parents trained. Or worse, they’re New Age parents who just let the kid run free and wild so he can “experience” everything and then just hold him while he throws his fits so he can get in touch with his feelings.

Fuck those parents and fuck that whiny, bratty little shit. I say good job older childless couple who swiped that ball right in front of the little kid and then mocked him. He had it coming and he’ll be a better person in when he grows up for it.

Tim McCarver Previews The World Series

Hola baseball fans and casual sports fans who dress comfortably and only watch the biggest sporting events, Tim McCarver here to preview the 2011 World Series. It’s going to be an EPIC battle between the St. Louis Cardinals and the representative from the American League. I know you are as excited as I am and are looking forward to this clash of baseball titans.

The most important thing that each team needs to focus on is scoring more runs than the other team. I don’t have the statistics handy, but I’m guessing the team that scores the most runs is much more likely to win. Also, good pitching beats good hitting unless good hitting results in more runs scored.

Each team will need to minimize mistakes and maximize non-mistakes. Also, play conversely and don’t take chances unless you know the risk from taking a chance is zero, you can go for it. Always remember that fundamentals are fundamental to baseball. And just about any other sport too. Except the NBA, where it’s all about individual play. But, you can’t go one-on-one in baseball unless you’re the pitcher or the hitter.

Also, it’s very important for both teams to realize four of the seven games will be played in shadow of the Getaway Arch at night, and the temperatures will be falling into the 30s. Sometimes, baseball players get cold when the temperatures drop dramatically. They’ll need to guard against that and make sure they aren’t impervious to weather. And, there is a chance of light drizzle and if not, dew often forms on grass in cold weather. When things like this happen, sometimes the field gets wet.

Even more importantly each team has to be patient and take what the pitcher gives you. It’s not necessary to hit a home run every single at bat. Remember that a walk is as good as a hit. And a walk and a stolen base is as good as a double. A walk, stolen base and then a two-base error is as good as a solo homerun!

As the old saying goes “there’s more than one way to skin a cat.” Of course, you should be careful because cats have claws and bad tempers. Point is, two wrongs don’t make a right, but three rights make a left. Even though we all know the shortest and quickest way from A to B is a direct line, sometimes you have to make three right turns around Q to get back to B. But, when you do that, don’t forget to step on J on your way back, or you’ll be called out.

And now let me talk about the key players to watch on each team. For the Cardinals, it’s all about catcher Yadier Molina. He basically controls the game from behind the plate, calling the pitches and setting the defense. Watch him as he uses his catcher’s mitt like a glove. He’s really a defensive weapon.

For the Rangers, I think third baseman Adrian Beltre is the man. Adrian is as smooth as cotton over at third and possesses a real rifle for an arm. Luckily for him, he lives in a state where carrying a concealed handgun is legal. Pair that up with his ability to get hot in a heartbeat at the plate and you have a guy who could dominate this series.

There you go folks! I hope you enjoy the 2011 Fall Classic. Game one is tom … what? Oh damn. Game one has already been played? Well, that’s okay. Enjoy the rest of the series.

For I’m With Stupid, I’m with Tim McCarver.

In other news, our Wednesday Show Prep show was pretty much non-stop hilarity. We talked most about Tuesday night’s GOP Debate in Vegas. But, we also hit on Susan Sarandon’s amazing boobs calling the Pope a “Nazi” and Carson Palmer being traded to the Raiders. And, then some time where we talk about just whatever. It was a really good show that flowed nicely. We would appreciate it very much if you listened and told all your friends about us!
