How do you destroy a legacy?
First take a true five tool talent, add a hall of fame god father and a major leaguer father. Then play like a future hall of famer for 13 years, including 3 MVP and 8 Gold Glove awards, while trying to get out of your father's shadow.
Then move to your home town, be accepted as a saviour, play like a demon and win accolades and awards, despite having a less than an outgoing and bubbly personality.
Then, and this is the turning point, develop a chip on your shoulder the size of Texas, and decide to inject god knows what into your body, only so that your percieved injustice, a lack of public respect, can be changed so that you, not a white man from St.Louis, own the biggest record in sports, damn the asterix and the consequences. Then finish by producing more bile and lies than ever before in sports.
So instead of being a shoe-in hall of famer, you will forever be tainted and will now finally not have the public respect you so frantically craved.
I hope it was worth it.
Now let's hope your overgrown body finally fails you completely so that at least there will be no tainting of the overall record, held by a man who had to endure a lot more than just a lack of respect.

Boom brothers pt.2
It is very telling when teams are pitching around David Ortiz, such is the fear he imparts on opposing teams.
Even worse, when they try to do that, as the Yankees' Wang did today with three consecutive inside pitches, and then fail, as Wang did on the 3 and oh-so greenlight situation which Big Papi promptly took the other way for a 2 RBI single.
What does then await the Yankees is the other flaw in the plan is that the Red Sox clean-up hitter is a certain Mr. Manny Ramirez. Cue a fastball straight down the pipe on a 0-2 count (WHAT WERE YOU THINKING WANG?) - and voila, 4-1 to the Sox.
BTW, what is it with the DD smoothies all of a sudden? It seems RemDawg can't stop talking about them? Must have been Iain's blog then...
Right, m u s t f i n i s h n o t e s for tomorrow's lecture now. Or rather, today's lecture, as it starts in less than 8 hours.
