The national past time

I didn't manage to post anything on the blog last night. I was too busy enjoying our nation's past time. My beloved Mets lost to the hated Braves 6-3.

But let me tell you the outcome didn't matter at all to this kid from Queens. Being out in the chilly spring air, eating peanuts and drinking soda, hoping to see Jose Reyes fly around the base pads was enough for me. I was surround by loved ones watching a game that was meant to be see in person and not on a TV screen.

So I guess that's the point of this post. Pack some sandwiches, buy some cheap seats and head out to a game of two this season. It's our nation's passtime and I think we'd all feel a little bit better if we got out to the ballpark.

Baseball right when we need it

Sick of the primary season? Ready to dump the subprime lenders overboard? Sick of hearing about the flagging economy or global warming? Well George Will of the Washington Post has an answer...baseball.

Blogged on here already by my buddy Mike, Baseball arrives at a time when the nation may need a distraction.

Who Framed Roger Clemens?

Congress is looking to investigate whether or not Roger Clemens lied when giving his testimony to a congressional panel investigating steroid use in baseball.

Let me give a clear, forceful, independent opinion of why I think it's a bad idea. In short, once congress has finished dealing effectively with, global warming, the war in Iraq, the war in Afghanistan, national secuirty law regarding privacy, national healthcare, energy independence, the weakening economy, sub-prime lending, the inequity of the tax code, the alternative minimum tax, Immigration and border security, earmarks, campaign finance reform, lobbying reform, and every other issue facing every other district in the US.

Then maybe we can deal with whether or not Roger Clemens got injected in the butt.
