Isn't it amazing just how many pitchers are enjoying unexpected success in the early going this 2008 major league baseball season? I mean you have Cliff Lee, Gavin Floyd, Andy Sonnanstine, Joe Saunders, Zack Greinke and Shaun Marcum combining for a 25-4 record. What gives? Well, what gives is that every season there are new faces emerging into the elite status of pitching. However, expect some if not all of these players to come back down to earth a bit. At least to let us know they are human. But one thing is for certain, every season produces a new breed of exciting baseball players, and in Cliff Lee's case, comeback players.
Barrack "Hussein" Obama will be the nominee for the democratic party. Its just a matter of time before Hillary Rodham Clinton folds up her tent. I was wondering whether or not Hillary would use her success in key democratic states as an excuse to run as an independent in the upcoming election. However, money just won't be there. She's better off dropping out soon, getting behind Obama and hoping he loses so that she can make a run in 2012 against McCain or another republican candidate.
I'm getting sick and tired of reading about seperation of church and state arguments when it comes to Christian symbols or prayer in public places. Yet, Muslims and Jews, especially Muslims, are allowed to pray in public and even get special privledges because of their faith. I believe its all a combination of bias against the true religion, Catholicism (and it's Christian branches), political catering to special interest Jews and pondering to Muslims out of subconcious fear of future punishment (ie future attacks).
And speaking of biased views. Nothing has been more blatant an abuse of human intelligence than the natural evolution theory. The entire evolution database has been built on a godless premise and pieced together by special pleading regarding just where each bit of evidence fits in the wouldbe godless scenario. Well, the special pleading really comes in from the outset, abiogensis. There is no possible way that proteins, without any direction, could come together all at once (due to reproductive barriers) and just suddenly form a complex organism (correlating cell structures housing a dna or rna biofeedback system) all capable of either copying itself or reproducing. Yep. I got it. NOT.
It's a Landslide Vote, an exit poll with politics aside. That's right. I'm not talking about the Super Tuesday election results where votes are being cast for a democrat or republican candidate. I'm talking about my baseball poll about the most exciting play in baseball.
The poll is only a week old, and absent my one vote, here are the initial results, or to term it more properly considering the day, exit poll. The inside the park home run received 50% of the vote with eleven votes. The closest plays next to that was the triple play and hidden ball trick which each received 3 votes; followed by the home run with 2 votes. 1 vote went to the triple, the suicide squeeze and the walk. You guessed it. The walk was my vote just for fun. But it's a landslide in the making as I evaluate the initial "most exciting play in baseball" poll results.
Clearly, you'd have to agree that the inside the park home run is exciting. But you can break this poll down to votes for uncommon most exciting plays and common most exciting plays. Doing that would bring justice to the votes for the triple and the home run. Afterall, you get lots of triples and home runs so you get steady excitement from these plays throughout the season. You only get that unexpected inside the park home run, squeeze play, triple play or even more rarely, the hidden ball trick once in a blue moon. We'll see how the voting goes throughout the 2008 major league baseball season.
