Hey all, its been a while. Since I last posted, spring break came and went, and my laptop…well, just went. It has gone AWOL courtesy of an unknown thief, so the blog has taken a bit of a hit. But fear not! We will persevere!
And what a night to reemerge from the exaflood. Tonight in Washington D.C marks the unofficial start of BASEBALL season! Sure the Red Sox and Athletics technically played the first two games of the season a few days ago, but that was in Japan at 6am EST. Hardly a way to kick off America’s pastime.
The Nationals are opening their brand new stadium with the help of the heavily favored Atlanta Braves. You’d think that the Nationals’ front office would want an easier team to perhaps get the stadium off on the right foot, but the truth of the matter is, they could have bussed in a local high school team and it still would have been a toss up. Sorry D.C, but the playoffs are not in your future.
But what I’m really looking forward to is the ceremonial first pitch, to be thrown out by…our president George W. Bush. Ever wonder why he has made so few public appearances on national T.V? Perhaps is 30% approval ratings, and the boos that accompany it, have something to do with it. I’m excited to see what the crowd’s reaction to his first pitch will be.
UPDATE! Well, the boos outnumbered the cheers. I was actually a little shocked by just how vocal those boos were. Not that they weren’t deserved.
