So totally corny, but you made me smile today. I read your thread with Brit, and it's wonderful. I forgot how talented you actually are.![]()

"God created the sun, the stars, the heavens and the earth, and then made Adam and Eve," Everett said last Friday, before the Red Sox lost two of three in Atlanta. "The Bible never says anything about dinosaurs. You can't say there were dinosaurs when you never saw them. Someone actually saw Adam and Eve. No one ever saw a Tyrannosaurus rex."
What about dinosaur bones?
"Made by man," he says.
Everett has trouble, too, with the idea of man actually walking on the moon. After first rejecting the notion, he concedes, "Yeah, that could have happened. It's possible. That is something you could prove. You can't prove dinosaurs ever existed. I feel it's far-fetched."
I'm curious as to who this person who saw Adam and Eve was.
Also, this guy is a fucking moron (this is not a comment about religion so much as it is a comment about his ability to make use of reason and logic)
- Everett has had gay teammates, whom he has accepted, but: "Gays being gay is wrong. Two women can't produce a baby, two men can't produce a baby, so it's not how it's supposed to be. ... I don't believe in gay marriages. I don't believe in being gay."
- Most baseball fans don't know diddly: "Fan is short for fanatic -- he's crazy about something he really doesn't know about. And it's proven that 99 percent of baseball fans have no idea what they're watching."
- The congressional hearings examining steroid use were a waste: "We have a war going on -- I have family in that war -- yet we're talking about steroids. ... If everybody in the world got on steroids, we'll still lose more kids to a war than we will from steroids."
Well, to be honest, I kinda agree with him on points 2 and 3.
I like the insanity of saying that it is "proven" that "99% of baseball fans have no idea what they're watching." Because by using the classically hyperbolic figure of 99%, Carl is demonstrating that he himself has no idea what he is talking about. It's like when people say things like, "Dude, I was so hungry last night I LITERALLY ate a thousand hamburgers."
One would have to do a fair amount of research, and devise a sophisticated method of evaluation of steroids qua mortal force, in order to prove or disprove this statement. I'm guessing Carl has done neither. In any case, I enjoy this comment because he essentially argues that no topic is worth our time and attention if it is not at least as life-threatening as war, which, ipso facto, is the most life-threatening thing that there is. Also, considering Carl's problems with rage, and his massive frame, and his propensity to injure, it's probably in his best interests to remain silent on the whole steroid issue.
Guys-
This is kind of embarrassing, but here goes.
As a baseball fan, I've seen hundreds, maybe thousands of baseball games. And to this day, I have had no idea what I've been watching. In fact, now that I think about it, some of those things I watched may not have even been baseball games, but reruns of Trading Spaces.
OK, you are right, the specifics of what he is saying are foolish.
I do, however, think that the majority of fans know fairly little about what they aretalking about (this isn't just about sports) and that the congressional hearings on steroid abuse were moronic.
Sure, I suppose an investigation was needed. Maybe. But, then again, I don't see why. If these guys want to shoot up drugs that will ruin them for life, what do I care?
(I acknowledge that it is illegal, and therefor an investigation required, but its a police matter, isn't it? Or DEA?)
(needless to say, I'm a proponent of "consenting adults get to do what they want")
In what way do the contracts have any relevance?
In point of fact, they remain private citizens. Baseball is not a part of the government.
In what way is getting the off steroids in baseball's best interests?
I would think that gigantic batters hitting home runs and pitchers with arms that shoot balls like cannons would be better for the fans.
ANd when it is better for the fans, it means more money.
(also, lets be real...baseball has always known these guys were shooting up...)
