Random Bravos and Bitchslaps...

Too much information swirling through my brain tonight... A few random comments

Alex Rodriguez: Am I the only one that is tired of all these baseball players that refuse to admit to steroid use but keep apologizing for getting caught? A-Rod, Bonds, Tejada and all the rest of you need to just say "I did it. It was all over the place. Once baseball ruled it was cheating, I quit." and then get past it. Until you do that, shut up already! Bitchslap!

Bud Selig, Comissioner of MLB: Take the home run record away from Barry Bonds and give it back to your buddy Hank Aaron? Only if you are ready to take away every record, award and performance bonus from everyone else in the Mitchell Report, dipstick! Bitchslap!

Hank Aaron: Always one of the most classy guys in baseball, for publicly telling the world that the home run record belongs to Barry Bonds and that Selig has the wrong idea, BRAVO!

Bristol Palin: In an interview with Fox "News", she said that relying on abstinence was "completely unrealistic". She also said that having her baby was her choice. Just remember that your mother, Caribou Barbie, would take that choice away from all women in America. BRAVO!

I know there is more, just not tonight.

Season's end...

It is with great regret that I mark the end of the season for my beloved Red Sox. As a baseball fan, it has been a good year. My hometown AAA team, the Sacramento Rivercats won everything there was to win in their division for the second straight year. My National League team, the Giants, actually showed some signs of developing a pitching staff. Combine that with the deep playoff run of the Sox (not to mention that the Yankees got pwned!), and "baseball ben berry, berry good to me".

Baseball has been losing ground to football for several years as the "national pastime" and a lot of people don't know why. The late, great George Carlin summed it up VERY well in his routine "Baseball vs. Football". If you want a great sports-related laugh, check it out.

You were the Grand Master, George. We miss you.
