42 (now 43) times Alex Rodriguez has approached the plate since his 599th home run. Each time he gets in the batting stance that most favors his bubble butt and thick thighs. The look of determination on his silky brown face stays the same. The crowd gets just as excited as the umpires substitute the specials balls to mark his milestone. Cameras flash throughout the ballpark.
And yet, each time, he fails to reach the milestone that only six players in baseball have ever reached. Is it frustrating for him? Who cares! It's frustrating for me, and that's what I care about. He's getting about 100,000 dollars each time he goes to the plate. All I get are diminished hopes of seeing history,of seeing that bubble butt round the bases in triumph.
Yes, I wish I could comfort him, but more, I wish he would comfort me! Tomorrow's another day, another hope. Get the damn home run already, would you Alex?
(Yes, I am sure he reads this site each nite before he goes to bed.)
