But I had to put this on the main page. I am a Braves fan and I am stunned Willis did not make the all-star game. This folks, is the biggest travesty you will EVER see. This shows exactly what is wrong with baseball. We have a new, young, and outgoing marketable guy who is dominating the league with an average Marlins team at best. He is 8-1 with a low 2 ERA. I don't see why he isn't starting, let alone on the roster. This is sad.
Hmmm...a baseball "we're all roided and amphetamined up and whining about everything.." All Star game's pitcher not being selected as a starter!!! :eek: OOOOOHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
As far as this being the "biggest travesty ever," I'm afraid I can think of about a million things that would count as larger travesties; here are a few:
1. Most political systems in Africa.
2. The Global economy at the moment.
3. The affect of the SARS epidemic on the travel and semiconductor industries.
4. The U.N.'s "peacekeeping" efforts of late.
5. France.
6. The Russian's "control" over their nuclear arms.
7. The "trust" factor in corporations these day.
8. The state of the environment in Vietnam.
9. etc, etc, etc, etc.
If you want a couple of sports travesties that would count as greater here are couple:
1. Lance Armstrong never getting a nod as sportsman of the year.
2. Dan Marino never getting a ring.
3. Mark Ripien leading a team to a Super Bowl victory.
4. Baseball.
5. The Bills going to four Super Bowls in a row and losing them by ever increasing margins.
In other words, this might be the 999 trillionth biggest travesty ever, but certainly not THE biggest. :shakeno:
