If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

Has anyone been paying attention to the World Baseball Classic?

I've been catching bits and pieces here and there but haven't really had a chance to sit down and enjoy it.

Usually don't give a rat's, but am loving those upstart unknowns from Italy, who haven't lost, and have made it to the semi's.  I don't think many had Japan out this early on their bingo card either.

A lot of Americans were really pissed last year when Ohtani struck out Trout for the final out.

* But this year, don't overlook the Dominican Republic team ... average pitching, but their offense has Juan Soto, Vladimir Guerrero, Julio Rodriguez, and Fernando Tatis!!!
The elimination of the evil Soviet Union was one of the most glorious moments in Human History!!

I have always said that per capita, DR has he greatest concentration of baseball talent on earth.  Incredibly there are 144 active place in MLB, 2nd most of any nationality.  It becomes that much more jaw dropping that these 144 are out of a country with a population of 11 million. 

I just can't wait until they open Cuba up.

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

Championship game tonight, I believe. Haven't really been watching, but glad to see our Bucco Paul Skenes do well.

Sad Italy fell short.  What a Cinderella story.  Chugging wine during the game?  Inspiration to all of us who enjoyed our slow pitch softball days......

On occasion we would bring a partially full Pony Keg hidden in a large Gatorade cooler into the dugout.  However, for some unknown reason, the Park police frowned upon that activity.
