The annual IT IS HIGH Festivus Airing of Grievances

 The 2021 IIHIIFIIc Festivus Shit List:

The virus (again.)
Gary Sanchez (again.)
Food Stamps Hal (again.)
Cooperstown Cashman (are we sensing a pattern?)
"Exit velo" (Coney, please take note.)
When Paul O'Neill gushes over Michael Kay's wit.
In-game commercials foisted upon John & Suzyn.
Tweaked gonads.
Houston Astros (lifetime achievement.)
Robert Kennedy Jr. (shot up heroin and now won't take a vaccine?) 
NY Football Giants (lifetime curse?)
The owners of the NY Football Giants. 
Influencers.
Ever-changing computer passwords.
Waking up at 3 a.m. to pee.
Pet peeves of old farts.
Reality TV (yeah, right.)
Angry talk show hosts who never debate the other side. (In other words, nearly all talk show hosts.)
Angry show hosts who sell health food supplements. (In other words, nearly all talk show hosts.)
The Marvel Universe (formulaic, reactionary, trendy.)
LATE ADDITION: Kyle Holder signing with Colorado. (Actually, good for him. Glad to see he's got a new life. Now, the Yankees will sign or trade for a defensive SS, while they've sat on Holder for four years. They never gave him a chance. I hope he does well for the Rockies, while we spend millions on some has-been... the Yankee "safe" strategy of management.)
The Yankee "safe" strategy of management. (See above.)

I've actually been sleeping through the night without a trip to the can, man. Been going on for months. This is a blessed development for an old guy.

Asking for more this Christmas seems churlish and greedy.

And that removes one grievance from the list.

Just add Boone to the list

I’ve got your grievances right here…

Julius Randle in crunch time

Lactose.

The Shift - Not the shift itself (although I hate it) but the inability to deal with it by bunting.

Commercials with Flo

Dave Gettleman!

My knees

And last…

Covid. Fuck Covid in all its variants. Amiright?

Yes, El Duque. Ny teams generally suck and so do a lot of the NY Athletes, although, not all.
By the way Doug, The Progressive commercial with Mittens The Diva Cat is great.
