In reading Jame Baldwin’s "The fire next time"

In reading Jame Baldwin’s "The fire next time", Joe the Turk in his role as a sports psychologist calibrated the collective wisdom of the Viennese Doctors Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, Ernest Jones, Anna Freud and Alfred Adler.

Indeed sports was a business, wouldn’t you say. A very big business playing out. As Andy Petttitte testified before a Congressional committee. The 40 year old Yankee lefty coming out of retirement to play out his role in the Yankee pitching rotation.He testified in the perjury trial of his ex teammate, Roger Clements,
His former kimosabi, a 7 time Cy Young ace. A destined Hall of Famer. Lied when asked if he ever took steroids or human growth hormones.

What was the Government trying to prove? Didn’t they have enough on their table to keep busy? Yesterday’s May Day strikes and rallies, playing out on Wall Street, Times Square,, Chicago’s Loop, Denver, Phoenix, Los Angeles, Portland and Seattle.

You name the site, Parkyercarcus My goodness gracious you’d think Ring Lardner’s "Alibi Ike" Ring Lardner’.Jr revival of "Mash" the Army medics playing out on the South Korean peninsula.

These juiced movers&shakers in their personas and tight presses were unlike the Babe, Gehrig Joe D, Mickey Mantle ( bistro under bankruptcy threat), Roger Maris, Ted the Kid, Stan the Man, maintaining a low profile.
Meanwhile 48 hours earlier, the May Day "scheme of Justice" erupted in Miami Beach, the athletes in the aftermath of the playoff game 2,, Pat Riley’s Heat taking a two game lead, the Knicks in a ten point loss.
Moving trough the tunnel, Amare Stoudemire stopped, crashing his left fish thru the glass cased fire exterminator, in an attacking mode. The playoffs moving back to Madison Square Garden and games 3,4, and possibly game 5.

But the Knicks may not envisage game 5, the self destructive rage.... A Hamlet like sulking, a ten point loss as the Heat "relationship" modus operandi, controlled&contained the Knickerbockers.
The spatial half court passing and weave pattern. Finding the open man in the pick&weave run and gun, flushing out the defense, give and go entry passes, Alley Oop dunks. Penetrating the paint. Crashing the glass.... the deus ex machina
Left handed high fives

                                                                               VI

The Knick coach wouldn’t go there in the post game analysis of the self inflicted wound (no tendons or tissue. A minor muscle surgery.
Marlon Brando’s "I wuz a contender" On the waterfront"

VII

How could this have happened
In the all media market of the City that never sleeps...the erstwhile Phoenix coach resigning under the pressure for a "w’. ( a shortened season)
Psychiatrists and psychologists knew determinism was playing out. But why? Where was the proof of the tempo to prove yourself? The time clock winding down.

                                                                             VIII

Why? Porque? His left fist smashing the fire extinguisher’s glass enclosure. Becoming the H.G. Wells’s"Invisible Man" (Claude Rains) on his once loveable "five"
Hadn’t he read James Baldwin’s
What were the demons in his soul playing out?
To be and become a role model for millions of kids aspiring to be a somebody on the stage of gyms around el monde.
An inspiring image of timing "towering the boards" for a rebound or a tap in.
******
The moral of Joe the Turk’s ‘Riddle of the Sphinx’
the City that never sleeps, May 2, 2012. " put your own fire out first ""The Fire Next Time"?? A tool&dye scenario? Playing in a small market like Phoenix, Steve Nash as the point guard leading the charge, the players in their "relationships", Morrie was very much explosive to the glass in his put backs and two handed dunks.....!
