Every time I get annoyed with the huge amount of bullshit that I have to endure in this lifetime I feel like Andy Rooney. I think he still does his Sixty Minutes thing where he gets paid a fortune to be a cranky bastard for a few minutes. I don’t know I stopped watching TV a while ago because it annoyed me.
What set this off you might ask? Yeah I can see you frantically hitting the scroll button to the next topic so you can just suck it. Anyway I’m trying to take a leak at the supermarket the other day and in walks Daddy with little Jennifer who has to piddle. I know that little girls have to go just like everyone else but what the hell is he doing taking her into a men’s room with a line of guys using the urinals. I wasn’t the only guy who suddenly got the urge to zip it up and flee. The least he could have done was yell GRENADE or poke his head in and say: “Hey my kid has to pee so put them away guys.”
Randy Johnson has won his 300th game. It’s an amazing accomplishment and with the way pitchers pitch right now with bullpens the way they are, pitch counts and 5-man rotations this is something that we might not see again.
And, hell, many didn’t see it live either. There were like 6 people at Nationals Park in DC today that weren’t on a team or related to the Big Unit. But, MLB Network had it on and granted, it was a sleepy, rainy, dreary performance. Today was not dominating, only 2 strikeouts in 6 innings pitched, but it was the culmination of a great and at many times dominating career.
Johnson is the 24th MLB pitcher to reach 300 wins and might be the last time we see this in a while.
