Dear Lookout Landing

Would of been more believable, had the timing of the post been better, instead of two in the morning with the players on the road.

But, on the off chance that this real. First off, Welcome to Lookout Landing Brandon. Secondly:

By reading a game thread of your own volition you agree to accept all liability for any and all damage done to your delicate sensibilities.

I’m pretty sure that includes the players themselves. In fact, I would say ESPECIALLY the players.

Apart from a few off-handed comments most of the talk about diabetes has been no worse than anything the mainstream media creates with athletes with the disease. I’m a Gonzaga and Denver Broncos fans, so I’ve had a slew of favorite players (Morrison & Cutler) who have had the disease. Every time something bad happens, the disease gets pointed to. The player is always under scrutiny that they will fade at the end of games due to their blood sugar. It’s really as biased, if not more so, than anything LL has posted. It’s fair to criticize Morrow because unlike Morrison and Cutler he seems to have taken the path of least resistance instead of trying to prove the critics wrong.

Please go back to the rotation. PLEASE.

Regardless of what happened in any game, good or bad, no one has the right to attack someone based on a medical condition

This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard, no one has the right to dictate others their rights.

But has anybody considered that this was made by somebody here that suffers from diabetes and has issue with the way it is talked about? I know the disclaimer about reading game threads and all that, but there still seems to be a strange double standard with regards to some of the humor around here. I wasn’t in the game thread last night but I can imagine all the different things that were being said. Obviously, I have no problem with any of these jokes, but to see people get shot down for making poop jokes while watching other jokes about school shootings and diabetes and the like being made with no complaint seems a bit hypocritical.

Please let me present new LL required reading:

I demand you take a picture of yourself next to a computer with LL up before I believe you.

You know, my dad is a 69 year old diabetic, who is also a life long cigarette smoker, and he still runs his own business. Yet, I never once hear him bitch about his diabetes.

You know what Brandon, if this is you, you fucking chose to play baseball, and you were drafted to be a starter, so you should’ve thought about your disease affecting you before choosing to pursue a professional baseball career. And you know what, it is fucking unclassy as hell to bitch about diabetes affecting your game play. So suck it up and pitch better.

Jackson 5 – ABC (SWWWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!)

Audioslave – Gasoline (Not the best song ever, but more Chris Cornell is always a good thing)

3 Doors Down – Kryponite (Crappy band, crappy song, but I have to admit that in my younger days I enjoyed this song. I’ll still be able to sing the shit out of it. “If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman…” Fuck. Yes.)

Freezepop – Less Talk More Rokk (Don’t know this song, but Freezepop is generally fun)

AFI – Miss Murder (The AFI song in RB 2 is fun, and Miss Murder was pretty damn fun in GH 3)

Tenacious D – Rock Your Socks (Not my favorite D song, but I’m still pumped to sing more Jack Black)

Black Tide – Show Me the Way (Don’t know this song, but the Black Tide song that came out as DLC yesterday was fun as hell)

Blink-182 – What’s My Age Again (HELL YES. So far they’ve released two Blink songs, and even though I don’t like the band, the songs have been awesomely fun. This should make three awesomely fun songs)

Alice in Chains – Would? (YYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!)

since the late-90’s Blazers.
