The Loaner
By Noah Fence, Associated Press
CHICAGO/WASHINGTON D.C. -- In a surprise
Politically wounded and financially strapped, Krause recently plunged back into the RSBS debate against his longtime foe: the superiorly intelligent, charismatic, rising baseball-blogger-star Jeffery Lung. This surge comes after a long hiatus where Krause did nothing but sit back and take a vicious verbal beating. Facing tough decisions like whether he should pay the rent or pay a ghost writer for his questionable posts, Krause decided it was finally time to dip into the old savings account for the much needed six dollars and forty cents.
The loan more than doubles what he has contributed thus far.
And it's not really working.
Though his affiliation with the Detroit Tigers is unwavering, his dignity and reputation haven't been so lucky. Outsmarted, outwitted and outwritten in his public arguments against Jeff Lung, it is evident that not only does Lung carry the baseball message of hope into the streets, he carries it around the globe.
"Wo hen xihuan Long Jiefu.
Ta hao bang, hen congming. Yinwei
you ta, suoyi wo ai
"Lung's is a message of hope - of striving to be better, of caring for your fellow man. It's a message that made me say 'forget pitching, let me hit and patrol centerfield'" said St. Louis Cardinal Rick Ankiel after a star-studded performance of his own on Tuesday night.
Meanwhile, Krause's lack of determination and point of view remain hindering no matter how much money he loans himself.
"Right now, that guy [Krause] gives us a bad name. We got a monkey on our backs. We can't win.
We can't hit. And that guy
[Krause] ain't helpin' the cause here. Get that **** outta my face," said Tigers
manager Jim Leyland.
Though we tried to contact Krause headquarters for comment, that guy named Madelyn said he was locked in a bathroom busy putting his foot in his mouth.
