Traitors

Yet another reason to hate Mike Piazza. Michael Joseph Piazza was born on September 4, 1968 in Norristown, PA. This makes him an American citizen and since birth, he has never had any other citizenship. So, why in the name of god is he signed up to play for Team Italy in the upcoming World Baseball Classic? I could be like Sean Hannity and say that he "hates America," but I won't. It's because he's a douche.

PLAY FOR YOUR OWN COUNTRY'S TEAM YOU ASSHOLE!

The list of traitors doesn't end with Piazza. Ronnie Belliard will be playing for the Dominican Republic. Frank Menechino, Frank Catalanotto, and Doug Mirabelli have all signed up to play for Italy. Ben Sheets has enlisted with Team England and Jason Isrignhausen joined the German squad. The list doesn't end here but I will.

Then there's Alex Rodriguez. Alex was born in New York City. His mother is Dominican and his father is American but he refuses to play for either team because he doesn't want to anger one of his parents. That's a load of crap. Grow some balls A-Rod.

I have no problem with foreign players joining the ranks of their native countries. Manny Ramirez, David Ortiz, and Albert Pujols will see no complaints from me for signing up with the Dominican Republic because they were born there.

I only have problems with the douchebags who were born in the United States and have chosen to play elsewhere because ... oh, my ancestors are from there. That's crap. Your ancestors left their countries to come to the United States. Stop disrespecting that and every other American.

You should represent the country you were born in or have your citizenship revoked and be forced to live in the Saskatchewan, where you can live in igloos and get mauled by bears.
