Grumpy opening day thought.

March 31, 2008

The San Francisco Giants have no real cleanup hitter, shaky spring training pitching, but they do have a new slogan – All Out, All Season.

They are already down 4-0 in the second with Barry Zito starting opening day.

Maybe they should change the slogan to “All Routs, All Season?”

Late night music thoughts…

March 31, 2008

Hillary Clinton said today she was a Rolling Stones fan.

John McCain accused her of pandering and said he wasn’t into that modern music.

Actually, Hillary is hoping Mick Jagger will allow her to use one of their songs for her new campaign theme –  “Sympathy for the Devil.”

More madness..

After all the hype and possible Cinderella stories, four number one teams are in the final four.

Which means the only number one seed who isn’t winning these days is Hillary Clinton.

The Washington Nationals opened their new stadium today to a sellout crowd.  It was a bittersweet moment for old Expos fans – had the team been able to get a new stadium earlier when they were still in Montreal,  they might have been able to sell a few hundred more tickets.

President Bush was at the first Nationals game.  Of course W. loves baseball – expressed as a batting average, his 30 percent (.300) approval rate, actually looks good.

Actually Bush heard so many boos he felt like a member of the Texas Rangers’ pitching staff.

And the Miami Heat scored only 17 baskets in their latest loss to the Celtics.   They just might be the worst scoring team since the Star Trek trivia champions went to Mexico on Spring Break.
