Game 111 - Indians vs. Rays
By Jessica | August 4, 2008
Tough assignments and a meeting with the president of the BJ Upton fan club.
Well the Rays had a tough assignment tonight facing Cliff Lee without Carl Crawford and Jason Bartlett. Final score Cleveland 5 - Tampa 2. Let’s hope they can win one tomorrow, I mean c’mon, everyone else has beaten the Indians. Why can’t the Rays?
Before the game this evening BJ Upton caught up with the president of his fan club. Stanley Rosenbagger.
Stanley: Hey BJ, thanks for signing those 500 balls for the little leaguers.
BJ: No problem. My hand is all cramped up, but it wasn’t too long ago that I was one of them.
Stanley: I have some bad news.
BJ: What’s up?
Stanley: We’ve had some complaints.
BJ: Really, about what?
Stanley: They say you’re too nonchalant.
BJ: Homey say what?
Stanley: Yep, you appear lazy.
BJ: I’m not lazy.
Stanley: I know, but you did jog down to first a couple of times.
BJ: Those were brain farts. I’m not lazy. Besides, Mr. Maddon calmly reminded us that we better get our asses movin.
Stanley: People who don’t know you very well think you’re lazy in the field too.
BJ: Seriously? I’ve worked my butt off trying to learn that position.
Stanley: You just make it look too stinkin easy dude. They’ve had to bust their humps for everything in life, and you’re gifted. They don’t see how hard you work at it. They wish they could be half as cool as you.
BJ: I am cool.
Stanley: Some radio host even lumped you in with Young and Dukes.
BJ: Aw man, that’s not fair.
Stanley: Don’t worry they’re mental midgets. Smart people don’t care what they say.
BJ: So what do I need to do about all this?
Stanley: Nothing. Just keep being your awesome self. There’s nobody your true fans would rather have. The others will hopefully appreciate you someday.
BJ: I am awesome aren’t I.
Stanley: Some have compared you to God. Oh, that chick from Her Rays recommends that you do more hot photo shoots and maybe some dance moves in the dugout.
BJ: I’ll keep that in mind.
Go Rays!!
