My Eyes Fastened To The Ground

There was a great Letter To The Editor in the local paper in response to an opinion article by ACote, the local sports beat guy, about his recent trip west.   Mr. KSmith, of Kansas City, hits full stride about halfway thru and brings it home with a resounding cheer.   Don’t just read it, speak it out loud to a friend, it’s even funnier that way.  I could not contain myself from a few good belly laughs.    

I know ACote from softball and he’s a good guy but I will never read any of his opinion pieces.   [If you want to see the article in question, go to www.eastbayri.com search the archives for the Oct. 5th opinion.]   Any writer who has to wear his Skankee hat for his photo (or RSox for that matter) is immediately discredited.   I never get any further.    But the responses are what keep me rolling.    Last year people wrote complaining about his defending of Hooters as a great place for a snack after a Little League game.  Those letters and speak out opinions were good, but the one above is the best yet.
