Back to baseball…

August 24, 2008

So now Americans have to return to their regular sports, and give up on being temporary experts on sports they only care about every four years.

But for fans of spectacular dives…there’s still hope with the Cubs.

The Olympics are especially fun for fans who like to see underdogs come out of nowhere to win.  But now that they are over baseball fans are ready to get back to reality and another Red Sox-Yankees pennant race…

And baseball won’t be a part of the London Olympics.    Though an Olympic committee may decide to reinstate it in 2016.   If they don’t, the U.S. is considering suggesting some other sports that we could do well in… for example, our sprint relay teams would love a “Dodge-baton” event.

As we approach the Democratic convention…

Colorado is a swing state.  So while in Denver, Barack Obama will be trying hard to connect with the state’s residents.  While John McCain is still trying to remember if he has a house there.

The Democrats chose Denver for their convention partly because they have hopes of winning Colorado in November.

John McCain, on the other hand, is hoping that Colorado residents will remember his support of their petition for statehood.
