Don't spit in the wind.
Don't tug on Superman's cape.
If you think a pro athlete is on steriods don't call him on it.
J. C. Romero, a pitcher for the Philiadelphia Phillies, was recently reinstated from a 50-game suspension for violating baseball's policy against performance enhancing substances. Translation, he got caught juicing. The St. Petersburg Times reports that after Thursday night's game against Tampa Bay in Florida a fan, Robert Eaton, made two requests of Mr. Romero.
Request number one was for an autograph.
Rebuffed.
Request number two was "How about you get me some juice?" Juice being code for steriods.
Rebuffed followed by a witty "Shut the f'k up" and an alleged body slam.
Not a rocket scientist, Mr. Eaton cannot for the life of him understand why Mr. Romero would be offended. "I don't feel what I said was wrong," Mr. Eaton said. "I feel if you cheat the game you're going to hear it from people. He brought that on himself. I just can't believe that a professional athlete would cross the line."
Not a rocket scientist, Mr. Eaton still can see stacks of Benjamins coming out of his malfeasance and has hired a lawyer, James Magazine and will, as is the American Way, sue Mr. Romero into the ground as hard as Mr. Romero slammed him into said turf.
What a country.
