3 worst cities to be a baseball manager: Boston, NY, Atlanta.

No matter what decision you make, they want to string you up. Unless you win. Then you can run for mayor with your gay lover on your arm and the Southie Irish will say, "Well, I'm Catholic and I don't approve of that sort of thing, but the Sox won."

1. Atlanta?? Do they even know the Braves exist in Atlanta??

That city is a fucking embaressment to sports. You can't sell out your stadium in the PLAYOFFS? Absurd.

4. They can't sell out the stadium because

we here in Atlanta are sick of this shit. Every damn year it's the same thing. Make it all the way to the playoffs, then choke. Enough is enough already. Piss or get off the pot.

Plus, they always manage to make the games in the middle of the day and where the stadium is located is just about the absolute worst place that it could be. The "planning" of it's location was for the Olympics and it was close enough to transportation outlets that it was convenient. Now, as it's practically right across the street from the state capital and other centers of business for the state, it's total crap.

6. Don't give me that bullshit!

I'm a RED SOX FAN! We sell out our stadium every fucking game, playoffs or not! And we haven't won a goddamn thing since 1918! It must be really hard to support a team that has been in the playoffs for the last 13 years. :nopity: :eyes:

Further, have you tried getting to Fenway Park? Yeah, that's what I thought... :nopity:

7. You can call it bullshit if you want

But that's the truth. You want the truth...YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!! - whoa, sorry there....was channeling Jack.

It is hard to root for these guys. They are total assholes (Chipper Jones being the worst, but then again there's Mr. DUI Furcal, currenting serving jail time). And yes, I know all pro athletes probably are, but these guys truly make it an art form. And every year after they choke, they whine about this and that. What a bunch of goddamned crybabies!!!

Never been to Fenway Park for a game, but I do have a friend that lives about a half mile from there. We walked to it. That's what I love about Boston. You can walk all over. In Atlanta, if you don't have a car...you totally shit out of luck.

2. ATLANTA?

Try skippering the Phillies for any amount of time. Are there any sports fans in Atlanta?

3. True, I live in Philadelphia, and they are brutal.

5. It's all about college football here baby!!!

When there are brief glimpses of greatness from the professional teams, people will pay attention from time to time, but don't bother us on Saturday afternoons. You will be ignored.
