Baseball

As the 2015 MLB season commenced on Saturday, April 4th, the entire nation collectively announced how thrilled it was that baseball was already back. The whole country spoke to The Freudian Slip on Tuesday, saying, “Yes, we are so excited that we get to watch a bunch of millionaires get paid to go on vacations to the warmest places in the country and squeeze 20 minutes of baseball into three hours of TV. Oh yeah, also the best part is that there is still snow on the ground, so we all can get really into only watching the game and don’t have to worry about going out to play it ourselves.”

America continued to say that it literally could not wait to watch all 2,430 games scheduled this season (emphasizing that each and every one will certainly be exhilarating to watch), and mentioned that “America’s Pastime” is, without a doubt, completely representative of every possible demographic living in the country.

“It feels like just yesterday we stopped watching baseball because the Red Sox and the Yankees both didn’t make it to the World Series.” Said America, “You can’t fathom how excited we are to do the exact same thing again this year.”

Hipster Quote of the Week:

The message at the end of “The Tortoise and the Hare” isn’t that ‘slow and steady wins the race’, but actually a well-remembered quote from the 1977 Disney classic “A New Hope”: “Great kid! Don’t get cocky”. Bullshit that the hare was gonna lose that race if he didn’t choose to stop for a nap and a snack and whatever else he did. Bullshit that the tortoise was going to catch up in any capacity if the hare didn’t slow down for him. Maybe that platitude makes sense, but definitely not in this situation.

 

A race is a sheer contest of speed. No other skills go into that. The tortoise and the hare aren’t making miniature wooden horses and getting judged on the craftsmanship of their products alongside their finish time; they are moving from one point to another. In no universe does slow and steady win that race. Slow and steady wins no races, except for races where the point is to go as slow as possible. Even in cases where slow and steady could be considered a possible alternative to fast, such as the aforementioned miniature-wooden-horse-making competition, someone who can do similar quality work at a much faster pace still wins that competition.

 

Slow and steady does not win the race. Not being too full of yourself does.."
