I
got out of the car yesterday afternoon with the radio turned to the White Sox
game and came back to a call-in show.
Apparently, Joe Blow from Schaumburg was upset with Cubs’ spring-training
sensation Kris Bryant, who said he was “disappointed” at not making the Opening
Day roster. In some parts, “old school”
means a rookie is better seen and not heard.
In
a way, you can’t blame fans for feeling frustrated. They can vote to put players on the All-Star
team but have no say—other than boycotting games—on the direction of their
favorite team. So, they vent, oftentimes
to hosts who believe their role in life is to mock all of the human race, or at
least that portion calling in. It’s not
pretty, we deserve better, and we ought to act better whether or not we get it.
Besides,
why make your phone carrier any richer?
