No, today's top commenter is not one of the greatest leadoff hitters of all time, nor does he constantly refer to himself in the third person. To the best of our knowledge he hasn't refused to admit he's well past his prime, nor has he drifted around the minors in hopes of getting back to the big show. He is fairly fast, but speedwise, he's probably no Rickey Henderson. No, today's commenter of the day merely embodied the immortal spirit of Rickey Henderson, who during salary negotiations with the A's, uttered the extremely human, quintessentially American sentiment that "All I'm asking for is what I want." And in our story about the new bare-bones Mahindra Diesel Pik-up, veteran Jalop leavethegun-takethecannoli asked the Universe:
"I don't understand. What is this?
Where are the heated seats? Where's the navigation screen?
I thought this was a pick-up truck."
Rhetoric? Maybe. Food for thought? Definitely maybe.
