Some Bad Things....Aren't Really Bad

Well, I know it's kind of a bad headline for an article, but that's what I thought of so maybe if you keep reading the article, you'll realize why I called it that.

The first thing I would like to address is the Phillies losing their 10,000th game last night to the St. Louis Cardinals, and it wasn't a pretty one (but as ESPN noted last night, at least it wasn't their 416th loss by ten runs or more. Really good stuff! lol). I notice how everyone seems to be making a big deal out of the fact that this is a prime example of failure in the history of a ball club. If anything, this shows endurance and durability and the effort to keep going for over 120 years. Heck, MLB hasn't even been around that long. So this, to me is not a bad thing at all, but more of a new door opening to the future of this franchise.

Hey, at least they won a world series. But so did the Atlanta Braves, the team that is right behind them at about 9,600 losses and they've been around since 1876, eight years before the Phillies became an organization.

So, yeah, that is pretty pathetic.

The last thing I wanna talk about is the fact that David Wells got suspended for seven games. It's funny because David Wells is one of those guys that always gets into trouble with baseball, or in bars or somewhere else. Yet, hes never even been thought about when it comes to steroids. Isn't that weird. They have to go choose a guy like Rafael Palmeiro to convict of taking steroids who has 3,000 hits and never got into any trouble with the law. So he gets into trouble and not David Wells. It's weird the way American athletes are these days.

Anyway, David Wells actually makes some valid points about the game of baseball. He should actually be listened to sometimes and the problem is, hes not. So, they suspend him for seven games because he argues with an umpire. And that's just a whole other story with baseball. The umpires SUCK! If they even SENSE a bad jist is going on with the players, they throw them out of the game. It's very unfair because half the ejections that are made are based on the umpires feelings towards the players. That's why I think people like David Wells should be listened to.
