Steroids in the Workplace Instead of Baseball

I was just thinking about the fact that so many baseball sluggers have had horrific years so far this year due primarily what seems like the "steroid issue". These players who mesmerized and entertained us for the past several years now seem like the belong in some second rate slow pitch softball league somewhere in Ohio.

I mean think about if this were the case in the "real" workplace. Take Sammy Sosa for instance. Halfway through the season he has 9HR and 29 RBI's which would project for 18 and 58. Last year, which wasn't even his best, he had 35 and 80. That is almost a 50% reduction in HR production. Jim Thome has 7 and 30. last year he finished with 42 and 105. That is a 66% reduction. Now I asked you, what would happen to your job if your production declined by 66%. You'd be sitting in Grand Central Station hoping to break into a cement bucket drum band to make some cash.

So I think the baseball players should just start taking steroids again. It is a lot more fun, I'll tell you that. I mean look at Jason Giambi, he is back on them probably and now Yankee fans are rejoicing in yet another 3-1 series win against the Red Sox.

I heard Wedding Crashers was a good movie, which made me think who are the Top 5 Stupid comedic actors of our time.

5) Owen Wilson
4) Will Farell
3) Chris Farley
2) Vince Vaughn
1) Adam Sandler

I learned this weekend that a) 5 years ago it was 2000, and b) man, did everyone look younger. I was able to watch some great videos my friend Jay had made, and man were they great. I couldn't believe that they had gotten a New Year's Party together at their APT where everyone wore suits, but I could believe that even after 5 years, we are all still pulling the same stupid stunts we pulled back then. Cheers Jay.

Couple of points:

1. Devlin, of course his list is "biased"...it's HIS list!

2. Someone should post the top 5 major leaguers whose physiques have most notably changed due to a sudden lack of steroid use. For me, numbers 1 through 5 are Pudge, Pudge, Pudge, Pudge and Pudge.

Sinbad is more of a classic old school comedian with intelligent humour so he wouldn't be on the slapstick list

Oh yeah, one other point...saw the Wedding Crashers this weekend and it was F'ing hilarious. About 10 minutes too long, but definitely worth seeing.

Come on Maybe I can help. With movies like Jingle All The Way and a great stint on Different World who wouldn't recognize this man's comedic brain.

Schwizz, nice to have you back. It's about time the namesake of this site posted something.

How about Jim Carrey? or Mike Myers, or is he too Canadian?

I would like to see a list of the most hated actors of our time (Keanu Reeves, Bill Pullman are a couple that come to mind).
