All too true


Tom G at Balls, Sticks and Stuff has outdone himself this time.

Apparently, Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins has started (started, mind you) to sour on the Phils current seven game losing streak. To illustrate this, Rollins had some things to say about the young kids management has been trotting out to the pitcher's mound each night.
I almost kind of feel like, with these young pitchers coming up, that we're trying to rebuild... It's hard coming off a season like last year, and [to] have a feeling like that. That's the way it is.

Tom retorted with the following uncomfortably, undeniably funny comment:
Take a look at yourself first. In yesterday's day game, Sal Fasano struck out and twenty-eight seconds later, not even half a minute, the broadcast was going to commercial because you took one freaking pitch and grounded out. Stevie Wonder sees more pitches than you do.

The best that I can come up with is a quote from The Untouchables:
Like many things -- we laugh because it's funny and we laugh because it's true.
