As we see the latest version of Dice-K goes wild:
Matsuzaka suffered the loss as the Kansas City Royals defeated the Red Sox 4-3 at Fenway Park. He had lasted only 4 2/3 innings and allowed only three runs on two hits. The problem, however, was that he matched a career high with eight walks and posted only one strikeout. He also threw a wild pitch and hit a batter.
So I presume that means I can come back.
On the heels of my concerns about being allowed back to Massachusetts over my sedition of disagreeing with this president, a vote for a more longterm exile comes from an unexpected source for a different reason:
Since you brought up baseball stuff, since you left the Red Sox have put a little winning streak together. Not to mention that Dice-K was so happy that you were leaving he pitched a near no-hitter on Saturday.
Why not stay a little longer in SC, or perhaps someone will pay to have to travel to another location.
Stay away from Massachusetts! the Red Sox Nation needs your help!
Apparently the Sox have not lost a game since the day I left and did it again
The Boston Red Sox’s recent purple patch continued as they downed the American League East leaders the Tampa Bay Rays 2-0.
David Ortiz was inspirational with a two-run double while Jon Lester was frugal, allowing one hit in six innings as the Red Sox won their seventh from the last eight.
Could the removal of all those fedoras really be making the difference for the old Town team? Well if they beat Tampa tonight I’ll wager Red Sox nation will do all they can to keep me away from my plane on Saturday.
I might not be in front of the computer at noontime so lets take a look at the what’s happening on the blogroll:
Ruby Slippers reports on the rubes who actually think that the passage of Obamacare means they will actually get free healthcare:
Evidently not everyone heard that bit of bad news or missed it entirely while cheering the fact 26 year olds will be covered under their parents plan. Perhaps people stopped tuning in after Obama health care speech number 563. If all else fails as an excuse blame the critics for confusing this group of poor souls who just want their free health care and they want it now:
Ironically I just got a letter from our insurance company saying my 19 year old would soon be dropped from coverage, but can get in as a full time student. Maybe congress didn’t read this bill but the insurance companies sure did.
Peg at What if Has two related posts on the same subject, the first concerns why the Democrats cry “Racist” so easily:
The other day, my good friend Professor Keith Burgess-Jackson pondered why columnists like Frank Rich rail on and on about the racism of Tea Partiers – when nothing could be further from the truth. I added a comment that I thought they did so because they cannot win in the battle of ideas. So – they then resort to slurs and attacks of “racist.”
She links to Roger Simon who uses the Civil War Term “waving the bloody shirt” She then follows up with this item quoting the Washington post:
But by and large, no one I spoke with or I heard from on stage said anything that was approaching racist.
Almost everyone I met was welcoming to this African-American television news producer.
Maybe they can try, “Vote as you marched”, oops sorry the majority of votes for Civil rights were republican ones.
David Pinto at Baseball Musings is following games but also the business of Baseball:
The Yankees are now worth $1.6 billion, keeping them the most valuable franchise. The next closest team is the Boston Red Sox at $870 million. Given that Steinbrenner’s group bought the Yankees for $20 million, he made a pretty good investment. The Yankees do have a high amount of debt, but that’s due to their using the equity in the club to keep improving it, for example, by building a new stadium.
It should be interesting to see what attendance figures are at the end of the year.
Conservatives for Palin is all over yesterday’s Rally and interview with Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann appearance, their focus is media reaction:
Update #2: Andy Barr from Politico affirmatively reports that Palin and Bachmann spoke “[b]efore a predominantly female crowd of more than 11,000 fans.”
Update #3: The St. Paul Pioneer Press effectively confirms the Politico number by reporting that Palin and Bachmann held “a raucous campaign rally of more than 10,000 fans that exceeded the size of many presidential whistle-stops.”…
-Three more local Minnesota newspapers effectively confirm what was reported by Politico and the St. Paul Pioneer Press regarding the attendance at the Palin/Bachmann campaign rally yesterday.
Update: The St. Cloud Times reports a “crowd estimated at more than 10,000.”
I saw it last night, if you didn’t they link to video here. People who don’t think these ladies are going to be a force in the GOP are deluding themselves.
…they had a shot.
Then they went after the pope and lost me at once. This pope already stepped up to the plate on this and anyone who has followed the scandals for years would know this. I suspect they still haven’t read the links I provided yet.
The MSM has to remember they are not the only source of information anymore and anyone who is you know actually informed isn’t going to fall for this crap.
Update: Of course they aren’t questioning the NYT because unlike bloggers they have layers of fact checkers.
Update 2: The gullibility of the NYT makes Hot air’s headlines. Will it make the MSM’s anytime soon?
Update 3: And here are some interesting numbers care of POWIP
