Lil' Scooter's Airing of Grievances
(Since my family is not gathered around, I am just going to do general grievances)
- People who put raisins in cookies - I don't like to be tricked
- Whoever had the great idea to cancel Veronica Mars after only three seasons - you are a monster
- The people responsible for the MLB Hall of Fame voting rules - they stink and keep Hall of Fame caliber players out of The Hall
- My school - you take my money, yet don't let me send my mail there
- The MLB replay rule makers - why can we not review fair/foul on the infield?
- Mike Matheny - WHY WOULD YOU PUT IN A COMPROMISED MICHAEL WACHA WITH THE SEASON ON THE LINE?!
Feel free to air your grievances below.
