Ball Inside: The Life of Sean Tracey

The real story here is the penetration of homosexuality in professional sports and in particular major league baseball. We've all heard the rumors of players pricking each other's bottoms in the training rooms, but now Sean Tracey has taken the next step. Tracey outted himself in front of thousands of baseball fans everywhere through his actions on the mound on Thursday night. There is no doubt in my mind that Guillen will soon face lawsuits from the ACLU and NGRA for his brash and insensitive treatment of Tracey. The crux of the case: "Is it right for a pitcher to be demoted to the minor leagues just for having a gay on for an opposing batsman?" i.e. Sean and Hank in Brokeback Diamond. This storyline will no doubt upset futball and golf fans as it dominates the headlines this weekend.

Our courageous young athletes are refusing to cry uncle to the "Old School." They give retribution and intimidation two thumbs down, and Queen fans everywhere rejoice.

Note to parents and little league coaches:
Please stop taking the kids out for ice cream when they lose. Don't tell them "nice try, you'll get 'em next time" unless they broke a bone on the play. No more timeouts...Walk It Off, Timmy!

I must be Old School because, frankly, this is all nausiating. In the words of Denis Leary,"Life sucks, get a f'n helmet." In the words of Ozzie Guillen, "Here's your bus ticket to Birmingham! Tell the Barons I said, 'Hola.'"
