PrintOK, so we all know who Mike Cameron is. In the game thread... here... http://www.overthemonster.com/2011/5/5/2154861/game-30-overflow-thread-2-seven-hours-and-counting, I had the idea to blame it on Mike Cameron. What is it? anything and everything regarding game 30 of our season.
Tell your stories of ill effects of the 30th game, the extra inning, rain delay, droll, pitching duel that could have ended before it did, or might (the game isn't over yet).
Anything would be fine, did you miss class? Did you stub your toe? Did people get into accidents? Was anyone named Mike Cameron within 30 feet of you?
Do tell...
(This is a joke. I have no... obvious.. hatred for any member of the Red Sox, and this is to be taken in pure jest... Unless you actually hate him.)

So far my noted effects from today as of 8:39
My sleep schedule is messed up, I will probably fall asleep during the game today, my girlfriend thinks I’m insane, and we needed a second overflow.
The Red Sox suck, and I am the dirt that was sucked in, I am a dirty.

Lowrie had to postpone his mission to Alderaan, in which he would have used his formidable mind tricks to prevent Darth Vader from using the Death Star to destroy it.
In other words, because of Cameron, an entire frakkin’ planet is GONE.

Are you sure you are a Sox fan?
Cameron clearly fucked it up.

I feel for all the folks back east that stayed up until 3 a.m.

I’m still fucking exhausted.
Fuck you Mike Cameron.

Because of Mike Cameron's visit
Archduke Franz Ferdinand had to rush to Sarajevo to balance out the suck Mike brought along with him. The date of his trip? June 28, 1914.

Because of Mike Cameron, the Angels start a bizzare two game winning streak against the Sox
This caused many Angels fans to get complacent, and suddenly think they were the best team in baseball. This resulted in the Angels Apocalypse of 2011, which is forever known as the year Tony Reagins was lauded as a genius, and that Vernon Wells won the MVP. Furthermor, they decided they were confident enough to sign Albert Pujols and trade for Feliz Hernandez over the winter. The Angels went on to win 32 straight world series all because of one man.
I hate you Mike Cameron.

Because of Mike Cameron
The Angels have beaten the Sox twice in a row… Hens are refusing to lay… cows are running in circles… crops are spontaneously cooking pre-harvest… a dog with two heads was seen on the Pennsylvania turnpike… A rain of pickled herring washed over Darfur… Doorknockers have knocked with nobody to blame… A man named Walter suddenly began speaking backwards.
It’s omening outside, all thanks to Mike Cameron.

Dude, don't joke about the PA turnpike
It’ll hear you. And punish me.

A lot of what I write has to deal with omens and American Legends
I just finished a short about the turnpike, one of the better things I’ve ever written.

It's a vengeful creature that I have to deal with far more often than I'd like.

American legends, other then sports legends?
Then start reading Tony Hillerman’s incredibly accurate and entertaining novels about the impact of legends, omens and mythology on the Navajo (as in Ells), Zuni, Hopi and other Native American peoples of the Southwest; and how contemporaries operate within those cultural rules. I’m talking reality, not fiction. Start from book one and enjoy how it helps take your mind off the sad sox.
I'll keep that in mind
but it’s going to take a back seat to my study of bigfoot, dog-man, and the mothman in the northeast. I’m currently reading Jeff Wamsley’s Mothman, Behind the Red Eyes and then I’m moving on to the Jersey Devil, and the genesis of the zombie.

Because of Mike Cameron,
now every slow-as-molasses 38 year old with incipient arthritis, astigmatism and the baseball acumen of a garden slug thinks he deserves $8 million per year.

I'm only 35
but have the incipent arthritis and the astigmatism.. does that make me worth $12M a year? :)
As a healthy 22 year old.
I’m worth what? 40-50 mil right? Right? Right?

To be serious
Cameron has not done what the team needed. Whether it is not enough AB’s or he just can’t do it anymore. Either way,it’s a blow to the Sox chances. They needed him to go out and platoon with Drew, and hit with some power. It’s not happening.
His BABIP is .154, blowing off some comedic steam is one thing, but serious criticism is VERY premature.

I don't think he's really even had enough at bats that BABIP really tells us anything
in any case, his BABIP is very low, but most everything he hits is a weak grounder. He hasn’t hit much of anything well, plus 2 of his 6 hits were homers, which don’t count for BABIP. I’ve thought he’s generally just looked weak and a little clueless there. What is more worrisome to me is that, from what I’ve seen, he’s looked slow and lazy in right field. Anyways, yeah he hasn’t gotten enough at bats, but from what I’ve seen, I’m doubting he can be an effective bench player.
yeah, Like Rogue says, he's been very unlucky.
So this is more of a comedic afterthought than seriously bagging on him.
Either way, I do agree he’s not playing well, although it’s mostly luck right now.
