Baseball Players - They're Just Like Us!

16
Vote

by user Pean

I like to browse US Weekly. There I said it. If you don't admit to this guilty pleasure, you are probably lying. One of my favorite parts is the "Stars - They're Just Like US!" section, mainly because it is so ridiculous. Anyway, here is my tribute to that section in a fake one page layout.

Jay Mariotti was very excited to see Carlos Zambrano take his pants off one leg at a time.

I saw him but I didn't talk with him much. He isn't who everyone thinks he is. He's very chill and smiles a lot and he's pretty religeous, too.

I'm rooting for him because he has amazing natural athleticism and baseball instincts. Look how many walks he's taken. He's a rookie playing through all this off the field non-sense with the golddiggin ho's and crazy-assed wife of his and he smacks the hell out of the ball, just at people... thus the Mendoza line tightrope walking. 23 years old and getting divorced during his rookie season... He's gonna get better before something worse happens.

He hangs with Delmon Young like glue and you ain't heard NOTHING about DY having the "expected" attitude/behavior issues...

Apples and triangles. Elijah has a better name, ghetto lingo and thug look... but apples and triangles, my friend. Sure, he'd kick the shit out of all of the guys you named in a heartbeat and he has Carl Everett and Gary Sheffield as mentors. When I first saw him, I was a little scared of him... he's a very thick, big dude. He's a Linebacker, especially compared to the rest of the Rays.

But he was straight cool with me every time I saw him. It wasn't like I ever asked him anything relevent (we talked about tattoos, electronic gadgets, football and life in the minors vs. the bigs) I think he was pleased when he saw me enjoying Outkast that was playing on the radio while all the other reporters were sphinctering up while waiting for Maddon's after game comments.

What can I say? I like Outkast and Baller's Ball after a Rays win is good stuff...

That section always ticks me off. They're always like "Scarlett Johanasson shops at Target!" I've worked at target for 8 months and she hasn't come in once!

I agree, you could be a real dickhead too. Would you let him have kids with your wife. She could be his 6th woman he has a kid with. Or will that make it 7? I hear he likes them young too. Got daughters? Dukes is the biggest douchbag in the league right now. Nice radio interview he did in Tampa. They didn't call him, "he" called just to be an ass. No class, total thug. He'll be in jail in less than 2 yrs. I don't care if he's young. He's smart enough to play his way out of Hillsborough, he should be smart enough to wear a condom and not threaten the lives of his estranged wife and child. Even a bad team like the Rays don't need that image around. He's already had plenty of chances. Can't take the ghetto out of the punk.
