Make it happen America
America, you made me proud by knocking out Rudy Guiliani, while he drove in circles. Now let’s dump a couple more of these clowns. As much as I enjoy watching Mitt Romney throw money away, you republicans out there have the easy job of voting for the guy you should have been supporting all along.
Democrats have it a bit tougher. Obama and Clinton have similar policy positions. The election of either would be historic. And while I think Hillary would be a good president, it’s time for fresh blood in Washington. Judging by the direction of recent polls, it seems I’m not alone.
And if you don’t listen to me, I’m going voting Bloomberg.

Supernatural
Despite suffering arguably the worst collapse in baseball history, the Mets finished only one game out of the playoffs. They won 88 games and are bringing back essentially the same team in 2008.
Except replace Tom Glavine, and his 200 innings of corner nibbling, league average performance, with Johan Santana, and his 1+ strikeout per inning, two Cy Youngs in the last four years, and rightful holder of the title “Best Pitcher in Baseball.”
The end of 2007 was bitter. Now the end of 2007 is irrelevant.
See you in October.
Dwindling A’s Bobblehead Collection
Oh the dangers of becoming an A’s fan. Don’t buy the jersey of anyone good and don’t collect the bobbleheads. We have about 15 bobbleheads, but here are the ones currently with the organization:

New Respect for the Amish
AJ Jacobs from the magazine/website Mental Floss recently visited the Amish of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and discovered that the Amish love baseball:
I spot a cluster of about 30 buggies. We pull over to see what’s happening. We have stumbled onto an Amish baseball game. Many discourage competitive sports. But here are 18 Amish teenage boys, their sleeves rolled up, their shirts and suspenders dark with sweat. Julie and I watch for a long time. These kids are good, but something is off about the game. I realize after a few minutes what it is: This is the quietest baseball game I’ve ever seen. No trash talk. No cheering from the parents in the stands. Near silence, except for the occasional crack of the bat. It is eerie and peaceful and beautiful.
