SLINGERLANDS, NY – Last weekend I had a rough drive home. I was on a local road behind some knucklehead simultaneously engaged in various selfish and annoying activities. He wasn’t using his directional and he was weaving slightly. He was driving too slowly, talking on his cell phone, and littering. He had vanity license plates and stickers to remind me where he summers. Any one of these transgressions could be considered a pet peeve, but taken together they symbolize the further deterioration of society as we know it. Most of us have talked on a cell phone while driving and I bet if you kept it brief, and really concentrated on the road, it was no big deal. If, however, you slowed traffic, or in any way inconvenienced another driver, or worse yet gabbed in a restaurant or movie theatre, you’re a “Cellphony”! The littering was just beyond me. Didn’t “Chief Cries Constantly” teach us about littering 40 years ago? Haven’t we gotten the message yet? The planet’s under enough stress as it is! Additionally, for you smokers out there, cigarette butts are litter too. Just because it’s on fire doesn’t mean it’s not litter; so find a way to extinguish it and throw it away. As for the license plate issue; it read “GR8DAD” or something equally cheesy. Let me tell you something folks, I have the GREATEST of dads, and he doesn’t need to advertise. If your plates say 1HOTD8 or PRFCT10 you need to GTALFE. Also, trust me, no one cares where you went on vacation and the decals mean something only to the merchants who suckered you into buying them in the first place. If all of this wasn’t bad enough, I had to endure the Yankee broadcast with John “I’ve got the job for life and there’s nothing you or anyone is going to do about it” Sterling. When he said, “It’s Robby Cano, don’t ya know!” I almost ended my life by purposely driving into a tree. So folks, do old Rexy a favor before he blows a gasket. Become better drivers, stop littering, stop thinking the world revolves around you, volunteer somewhere, open a door for a lady, call your mom, mind your P’s and Q’s, and eat your vegetables. You’ll make it a better world for all of us.
Curmudgeonly Yours,
Rex

| Another good one today, Rexy. I like the way you tie in your teams shockingly bad announcers. What is that all about? Do Hank and Hal listen to these people? |

| Rex... As former cadet in the Albany region, you bring up a blast from my past with Slingerlands. Is that where you live? Nothing like suburbian Albany... |

| Albany sucks, man. Sorry to hear that your there. At least your Yanks won and so did the Mets so it was a good day. But Albany really sucks! |

Ahhhh Rex... ya make a gal smile. I'm so on board with your road rage. What irks me is the traffic that comes out of nowhere and just disappears. No weird merge, no accident, no roadside attraction- just traffic from nowhere. WTF?!?
And... I HATE HATE HATE the dopes who litter out their car windows--especially the cigarette butt dumpers. The world is NOT your ashtray! Keep your cancer sticks, their shrapnel and their remains in your car where they belong.
Clearly Sterling hasn't looked at any of Cano's stats in quite some time. Me... every time I see another lousy Cano at bat or play blunder-- it makes me miss Soriano that much more. What a frickin' bonehead move not keeping that guy.
And Rex.. please don't drive yourself into a tree. Then I'd have to go hunt and kill Sterling.

| Rex, we face the issue of cabbies on the phone while they are driving us. Not only is it distracting having to distinguish whether they are speaking to us or to their phone pal, but it's also disconcerting feeling that they are not paying attention to their job. We always ask them to get off the phone, which makes things tense. To further tick them off, we tell them to put on the Yankee game. John Sterling gets them really crazy! |
