Why is morning joe treating the G20 protesters

as if they were serious. These clowns protest every economic summit that isn’t held in a country that will crack down (ie china). You have a group of professional protesters and hangers on. Why they treat them as serious I don’t know.

But wasn’t the great power of the love of Obama supposed to cause this stuff to not happen anymore, shouldn’t they be dropping flowers?

And I don’t know what Barnicle has against bloggers but that is one bug he needs to remove from his posterior.

7:39 a.m. These guys are as surprised as I am over Stevens.

7:41 a.m. It is April fools day so we have to be careful on this, but people needs to learn to be polite.

7:47 a.m. Willie asks the why are they protesting Barak the good and is told what I’ve already said, these guys are just background noise.

8:11 a.m. Matthews talks about Reagan as a reader, he never talked like that when he was in the White House.

8:13 a.m. The desire to pretend that George Bush wasn’t a reader and thinker overrides any kind of reality.

8:25 a.m. It is amazing to hear so much BS concerning Israel and Syria at one time. Hamas won? Only an idiot like this guy could say that.

8:28 a.m. Oh boy this guy reveals that Clinton saved the head of Hamas’ life, what a joy. Another reason to love him.

8:36 a.m. If Mark is singing Wooley Booley that is just as interesting as the financial news.

8:53 a.m. Another reason to love Alyssa Milano. Let me stress that Baseball is the most perfect sport there has ever been.

A cunning plan

David Pinto reveals Mike Piazza’s cunning plan concerning performance enhancing drugs.

What? All you have to do is tell a report(er) the truth off the record to keep it secret? Bonds really missed his opportunity with Mark Fainaru-Wada and Lance Williams.

Note quite as cunning as this but not bad.

What a game! Japan does it in 10

There are great games that stand the test of time, there are rivalries that define the game’s greatness. This game highlighted both.

If you are either a RedSox or a Yankee Fan you could not help but be riveted by this game. You would recognize the intensity of the players, the packed loud stadium, and the fans. This game went back and forth, a dramatic tie to force extra innings and a 2 out single in an 8 pitch at bat in the top of the 10th.

You can’t get baseball much better than this. The whole tourney was something to see. For me the highlight was Jimmy Rollins who in my opinion could have credibly been named MVP over Dice-K (who has now won a world series, 2 WBC and 2 WBC MVPS in three years.)

I think it might be interesting to see an annual tournament post world series where the US World Series winner plays a short 5 game series against either team Japan/Korea or the winner of the Japan World Series. Or on a smaller scale an “Asian world series” where the Japanese and Korean champion teams play a 7 game series after their respective seasons.

I’d watch it.

The bad news is it will be 4 years before we see this again, the good news is in 4 years it will only get better!

WBC Final: Toss up to me

I Can’t see how you can pick a winner to the game tonight between Japan & Korea.

They have already played each other in the tourney 4 games and split them. Japan seems the superior team but Korea keeps rising to the occasion.

If I have to pick one I’ll say Japan but if Korea wins it will be no surprise to anyone.

Oh and I think it was rather disgraceful for the announcers last night to be going on about how the US manager priority isn’t winning. It’s an insult to Japan and sounds like sour grapes. What however is a bigger disgrace is they were likely right.
