Everyone Just Needs To Simmer Down

So, the big news of the day was Jim Joyce. No, not the writer cuz god forbid we talk about things like that...I'm talking about the first base umpire of last nights Detroit Tigers game. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about (most people reading this blog) apparently the umpire said one player was safe when in fact he was not. This call cost pitcher Armando Galarraga a perfect game. This mistake outraged not only Detroit fans but people I am friends with who have no affiliation with Detroit. There were even FB status posts about it. One even stated to call the MLB office to get Galarraga his perfect game. Really?!
What's this all about, "the umpire should be fired", bullcrap?! Haven't you ever fucked up at work? What number can I call to get you fired....from life? Maybe, MLB needs to start employing the use of instant replay during games to avoid realizing this shit after it happens. Or, they can just suck it up and take things like they're called. The man apologized. He feels terrible. Shits flying around out there, it's hot, there are bugs flying, uncouth troglodytes spitting tobacco juice all over the place and drunken idiots screaming in the stands...people should just be glad someone wants to work in those conditions.
Baseball fans, you need to simmer down. Seriously. Last time I checked MLB does not have you on their payroll.

In other news of the day, a woman is suing Citibank who fired her for being "too sexy". Her lawsuit claims that she was told that "as a result of the shape of her figure, such clothes were purportedly 'too distracting' for her male colleagues and supervisors to bear". REALLY?!?! I would like to meet these blokes who were waaaayyy too distracted by her beauty to perform their given tasks. I would also like to meet the men who complained about this distraction. Now, she IS a rather attractive lady but I never knew females had such an affect on men. I should really be careful now especially when I wear my 'lady clothes'. On second thought, you have to murder someone in order to be fired from the board of education, so I think I'm just gonna keep distracting until then......
