Spring Training frustrations

by elan on Feb 29, 2008 4:38 PM PST

So I went to pick my brother up from his elementary school an hour ago, and sparked up a joint upon leaving my house. I guess from being immune to the dangerous mind-altering effects of cannabis, I approached the entrance of the school where my brother and the kids/parents were gathered subconsciously thinking I was smoking a cigarette. I immediately realized my mistake when the crowd of elementary school kids were quickly rushed off by their parents who were mouthing muted obscenities to me all the while. My brother gave me a confused and very disappointed stare before I silently ushered him to my van. All he said on the way home was "were you smoking weed?" I replied with a silent tear as I pondered the most painless method of suicide. I'm such a sad fucking excuse for a human being and I desperately want to die. I think today's spring training game was a miserable defeat, and Estes is done for. Jody Gerut, Will Venable, and Matt Antonelli make Robert Fick look like Robert Fick. Someday, we'll beat the Royals, and redesign Gameday.

you smoked the marijuana like a cigarette?

I love the part

where Gob coughs out a lungful of smoke and tries to pass it off as "It's cold out here".

Believe it or not

This reminds me of the time

years ago that I'd been up all night drinking a case and a half to myself since my brother never got home and when 7 AM rolled around, my mom asked me to drive my little sister to the bottom of our hill to her bus stop since it was raining. I had my li'l sister go start my car while I was putting on my jacket and then when I got outside, she was going through my ashtray, pilfering all of my roaches! If that wasn't bad enough, she was wearing a Yankees hat! Of course, I took it off of her head, threw it out the window into the mud and put my Padres hat on her.

Anecdote had nothing to do with

Shawn Estes.

Sure it does.

The beer was Shawn Estes since both got pounded. My little sister was Rickey Henderson and I was Scott Spiezio.

Or maybe

I was Shawn Estes since we both got lit up. I could go on...

Note: my disclosure of this episode is most definitely not an endorsement for drunk driving. I was nothing more than an idiot then and age and experience have taught me that that's a fool's game that I won't play.
