Danged Baseball

OK, seriously now. We have been busily maligning baseball and its adherants. We have been right, too.

Right now I am watching another grinding, excruciating game between the Tigers and the Cardinals. The problem is (this is BIG, so scootch your chairs up a little closer gang) BASEBALL HAS NO MOMENTUM. The winner is just the beneficiary of near terminal boredum on the part of the other team.

So, anyway, I feel sort of bad bringing such a sore subject back up. I really do. We've already been kibbitzing loudly. I just can't help it.

This is a pitiful, sorry bleat of misery. I can't....reach...the....remote....or...the....beer

AdherEnts, boy, adherents. AdherAnts are those li'l bugs that stick to your sugarbowl in damp and windy weather.

I guess the biggest question for baseball haters is...WHY WATCH??? I have to admit that I have been following the Tigers' run of late. Not because I have become a baseball convert, but because it is the World Series and the Tigers are playing.

And the Cardinals just won anyway. As President Jerry Ford predicted, our long national nightmare is finally over.

Hooray! No more baseball until next spring! Maybe my TV will break before then. HOO, HOO, HOO, HOO!

PW, mind explaining why you hate Missouri? (Sorry, I couldn't resist. Actually, I could, but I didn't want to.)

Yeah, what's he got against the home state of: Samuel Clemens? Don Johnson? Walter Cronkite? Sheryl Crow? TS Eliot? Pat Metheny? Yogi Berra? Harry Truman, whom even Garage W. Bush wishes he was? William "Naked Lunch" Burroughs? Charles "Where Would Herman Miller Be Without Me" Eames? Jack Kilby, co-inventor of the microchip? Robert Altman? Me? Marlon Perkins? and John Goodman, for goodnessakes?

Yeah, gotta agree withya there, Nordby. Any damp states with a lotta skeeters can count me out.

Planning on moving? Because I think PW was including Michigan in his little explanation.
