Take Me Out To The Ballgame

I know I should probably turn in my mom badge for the following reason. I have never taken my almost ten year old son to a baseball game. Shameful, I know. What is even worse is that we live a mere twenty five minutes from The Ballpark in Arlington, home of the Texas Rangers.

To rectify this dreadful situation, I am planning an outing with my son to ye old ballpark. The problem I face is that I haven't exactly kept up with all things baseball in recent years. I am pretty much a novice and because I want this to be both a fun and an educational experience, I need to get educated myself. I want to make baseball picks like I've been doing it all my life.

I've discovered the forums at addictsports.com can really bring me up to speed on baseball chatter - scoops on the players, current happenings, trade rumors, history of the game, and trivia.

I know I can't completely fool my son but at least now when he goes to his first baseball game, he won't be embarrassed by his mom shouting for our team to kick a field goal.

Terrorism vs. Steroids

In this week's radio address President Bush stated, "At this moment, somewhere in the world, terrorists are planning a new attack on America. And Congress has no higher responsibility than ensuring we have the tools to stop them."

Doesn't he know that Congress has been been preoccupied with the urgently important task of trying to figure out whether or not Roger Clemens used steroids? Isn't our concern for the integrity of professional baseball why we sent these guy to Washington? We wouldn't want them to get sidetracked on to issues of national security when they can be spending thousands of hours and millions of dollars debating whether or not a baseball player took steroids.
