Bullshitters Notanonymous - Bush League

CRAWFORD -- The title of this blog, I Am Jack's Broken Bat, is inspired by the narrator's voiceovers during the bad ass existential film, Fight Club. During the onset of the film, the protagonist frequently attends self help groups for diseases and problems he does not have. Seeing others in misery helps him become at peace with his own hatred of self. So the powers that be have elected to start a self help group for people who really do need it.

The group - Jack's Bullshitters Notanonymous. Except, well, you're not anonymous, as the first step to becoming a non-bullshitter is for everyone to know you're a bullshitter. Confused? Well the fact is, a bullshitter does not want help. So publicly showing he is a bullshitter may provide some ample motivation to cut the bullshit. As George Carlin put it, most people are either stupid, insane, or a bullshitter. In baseball, the stupid people would be the general managers who trade Scott Kazmir for Victor Zambrano. Or the guys who hire Dusty Baker to manage a young pitching staff. The insane are the owners who would willingly pay Ryan Dempster fifty million dollars. And the bullshitters? The majority of bullshitters are those agents who bullshit their player from mediocre pitcher to multi-millionaire ace.

But there are other bullshitters on the planet from every arena. We have decided to not give the first BA member title to just anyone. No. The first bullshitter must be the ultimate bullshitter. A bullshitter of epic proportions. While this blog is largely revolved around subjective baseball journalism, we intend to delve into all facets of life. After all, baseball is simply a metaphor to life and the American dream.

... Drum role ...

The first member of Bullshitter's Notanonymous is...

George W. Bush

I would go into detail about why the Governor should be recognized with this honor, but would it not be trivial and obvious? Stay tuned for future bullshitters to be announced soon.

About Us

I Am Jack's Broken Bat is a blog involving two guys, real-life investigative journalism, a semi-coherent knowledge of the English language, a love for sports, and two small basements, both located in their mother's homes. In 2008 R. Fukuoka Henderson and J. Martin Machiavelli got pissed off because Frank Wren wanted to sign Ryan Dempster but were later relieved when he failed in doing so. Later on, in a debate over who they would have taken in round 17 of the 2002 MLB draft, the two began to chuckle when they recalled that in that draft the Mets selected Scott Kazmir. Kazmir was later traded for Victor Zambrano, a real life version of a Sony Walkman. In a morbid need to express the ridiculousness of the powers that be in the multi-billion dollar American institution of Major League Baseball, we have founded JBB. We will try to enlighten and entertain. We will probably fail.
