Somebody's crazy

So the Philadelphia Phillies gave Bryce Harper a thirteen year contract worth $330 million bucks.

They're crazy.

Harper, now 26 years old, will obviously be the very ripe old baseball age of 39 by the time the Phillies are off the hook for this ludicrous contract.

When's the last time you heard of an everyday position player being any good past the age of 35?

Oh, but it gets even more ludicrous. Harper was a sub .250 hitter last year, is most definitely a sub-par defensive outfielder, strikes out a lot, and is an injury waiting to happen. And let's not forget he's not the easiest guy for teammates to get along with in the clubhouse. Can you say hot-head/prima donna?

Just when you think people can't get any stupider ---

Along comes a couple golf club commercials.

One says buy this driver and every tee shot is guaranteed to land in the fairway. Well then. How come the hot-shots on the PGA Tour aren't using it? Lord knows, they sure miss enough fairways trying to bomb the ball well over 300 yards.

And if you're crazy enough to be interested in that driver, you'll just love....

The guaranteed sand iron. Buy this little gem and your sand trap worries are over. No more flailing away in the ditch. Every shot guaranteed to land on the green.

Right.

And if you're stupid enough to plunk down money for either of these clubs, why not buy six or seven of each? One for every day of the week. Call now while supplies last -- you moron.

I saw where some Detroit area columnist said the best thing the Detroit Tigers could hope for was to play well enough in the early part of the year, so some of the "veterans" would have enough "value" to get rid of for future "prospects", thereby torpedoing the team even further for the next several years.

And that's just nuts.
