How Stupid Do You Think We Are?

Finally...

Some one in major league baseball who isn't associated to the Boston Red Sox in any way did something that was more embarrassing than any of the stupid things that have been coming from the Sox over the last year.

Melky Cabrera... how stupid do you think we are?  The corollary to that question is, how stupid can you be?

Read this espn article.

What the hell, Melky?

Melky used synthetic testosterone in order to cheat at baseball.  It was working.  He leads the NL in hits, he's second in batting average, and he was the MVP of the all star game this year.  All while cheating.  When he got caught cheating he devised a scheme to try to make himself look blameless.  He was going to blame it on a supplement.  Yeah, they'll buy that excuse.  But what supplement should we blame it on?  I know, thinks mensa candiate Melky, we'll use a make believe company!  That way I can't get sued when I place the blame!  We'll make a website and everything!  WOOHOO!  No 50 game suspension for me!

What a friggin' idiot!

Even if the 10 grand bought a totally convincing website, don't you think the investigators would, oh I don't know, CONTACT THE FREAKIN' COMPANY??

As bad as the whole texting-the-owners-to-get-the-manager-fired controversy in Boston has been, including the new and improved Gonzalez-didn't-send-the-text-Shoppach-sent-it-from-Gonzalez's-phone version, no one in Boston, including Schmucko the Clown himself, has done anything even remotely this stupid or insulting.  Sure, Josh Beckett tried to tell us that he only gets a few days off a year when he actually gets most of October through February off, and after the whole chicken and beer collapse last season John Lackey is still parading through the club house with a beer in each hand, but neither of those things are even in the same time zone of insultingly stupid as Melky's little ruse.

Suddenly, the fiasco that is the Red Sox looks almost acceptable.

No, actually, it doesn't.  I'm grasping at stupidity straws here, trying to make my team look less stupid.  Melky does win the stupid prize though.

Thanks, Melky!
