    Apologetic Autographs

    since pete rose is now signing baseball saying he's sorry for gambling on baseball, maybe this will start a new trend. all kinds of people have all kinds of things to apologize for. here's a few potential autographs (with thanks to dan o'neil from the st. louis post-dispatch for the idea):

    -tommy lasorda: "i'm sorry i pitched to jack clark"
    -john holland: "i'm sorry i traded lou brock for ernie broglio"
    -busch stadium beer venders: "i'm sorry your beer costs $8.25"
    -arod: "i'm sorry i'm good looking, bi-racial, and make the most money."
    -theo epstein: "i'm sorry we can't compete with the yankees and their payroll"
    -tony larussa: "i'm sorry i'm a genius and feel it necessary to use seven relievers in every game."
    -brad lidge: "i'm sorry i can't get albert pujols out."
    -mariano rivera: "i'm sorry i couldn't throw the ball to second base."
    -david ortiz: "i'm sorry jeter doesn't play in our lineup."
    -nomar: "i'm sorry about the human rain delay."
    -mark prior and kerry woods: "we're sorry we're as fragile as samuel l. jackson in unbreakable."
    -barry bonds: "i'm sorry mark mcgwire and sammy sosa got more attention than i did."
    -mark mcgwire: "i'm sorry but i'm not here to talk about the past."
    -sammy sosa: "i'm sorry i used my batting practice bat in a game."
    -rafael palmero: "i never, never, never say i'm sorry."
    -rafael palmero: "i'm sorry."
    -harold reynolds: "i'm sorry but i feel a strong urge to give you a hug and maybe feel you up a little bit."
    -ozzie guillan: "i'm sorry jay mariotti is a f*g."
    -al hrabosky: "i'm sorry i can't be bothered to watch the game or have any knowledge of baseball history."
    -bob gibson: "i'm sorry i just hit you in the neck with a baseball."
    -babe ruth: "i'm sorry, are you going to eat that? and would you mind if i danced with your date?"
    -ty cobb: "i'm sorry the spikes were so sharp."
    -josh gibson and many others: "i'm sorry you were too stupid to let me play in your frakkin' baseball league."

    that's enough from me. who do you think needs to say they're sorry and what should the autograph be?

    I love that movie! Anyone else seen it? "Because I thought we were starting to be friends for real! And friends -- friends don't shoot each other, Joseph! They don't shoot each other! Isn't that right?" "Yes, Joseph, no shooting friends."

    OK, just so I don't get in trouble here:

    -Mark McGwire: "I'm sorry, my attorney advised me not to comment on this"
    -The annoying mechanical phone voice: "I'm sorry, your call could not be completed as dialed. Please hang up and try again later."

    unbreakable was pretty good though. i think it makes more sense if you're a comic book fan. and bruce willis and sam jackson need to make more movies together.

    But that's the thing, he DIDN'T catch the ball! He completely screwed up everything and couldn't even hold onto the ball.

    Sorry, I'm still bitter. I suppose that would be my autograph.

    I'm not even a comic book fan! I love M. Night Shamalyan movies, though. And that one's my favorite... or second favorite. It had just the right combination of action, humor, and suspense.

    With apology-mania sweeping the baseball world, I'm going to give a pre-emptive apology for whatever it is I do in the future, so when I actually do it, we'll have all the mushy stuff out of the way already.

    So, folks? I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Please accept my humble apology. It will have been wrong of me. Won't happen again.
