Running the Bases with David
I feel it necessary to share with you further about my distain for David Justice as a color commentator on one of ESPN’s MLB crew. My previous post about him being as I put it: “dumber than a sack of hammers”, seemed a bit unfair. Ok, to be fair, Mr. Justice is not smarter than one very tiny hammer. I think that is a little more gracious. But not to undersell the drivel that he spews, my dear friend and old roommate from college, Helmet Head, decided to douse my flaming of Mr. Justice with gasoline. He wrote me a quick note, letting me know what other possible things Mr. Justice could possibly say in the future. So I’ll share that with you now:
Hey Nate,
Here's some other insights you may hear coming out of David Justice's mouth soon...
"You know, the batter wants to get a hit, but the pitcher, he doesn't want him to hit the ball."
"I think most players will tell you that they like to win."
"It may surprise you to know that baseball players make a lot of money."
"A double play...that's when the fielding team gets two outs at once."
"They call it a 'walk' because the batter gets to go to base for free...he doesn't have to run to beat the throw there."
"Mmmm...I like nachos."
"If the game is tied at the end, both teams will play what are called 'extra innings,' because they're extra bigger than nine."
So, what do I win if he says any of these? HAHA! You know what--David Justice used to be married to Halle Berry. Can you imagine the conversations they would've had?
"When I hit a home run, I get to run all the way around the bases."
"My movie BAPS was totally misunderstood...it was ahead of its time, really."
Anyway, it's good they didn't have kids...they would've been beautiful, but retarded.
Later
Thanks man, I appreciate your concern
