Baseball is the Reason God Made Summer
Today is Opening Day, which means that it doesn’t matter a lot if the President is too busy apologizing to Muslims for how mean we are to them that he doesn’t have time for America’s Game.
My guess is that he throws a fastball about as well as he tosses a bowling ball. At least Joe Biden knows how to whip one in there.
The President doesn’t know what he’s missing. Baseball is America’s Game, a melting pot in a diamond shape, and a great way to spend a summer evening. It’s definitely time to clean the cruft off the grill, give the patio chair and side table a little going over, and figure out which radio picks up the games the best.
Though if you’re like me, and you don’t follow the majors that closely but you do have season tickets to the
local Atlantic League team, you have to wait a couple more weeks to get your live baseball fix.
For everyone else…PLAY BALL!!
Speaking of Presidents and baseball, here’s one who knew how important the game is to our identity. And he was darned classy, too.

Hey Jimmie,
I couldn't agree more with you. Baseball is the reason God made Summer! The fact that the Mets won 2-1 using Putz and K-Rod made it even better!
Talk to you soon.

Nice to hear from you!
The good news for me yesterday was that the little sparkplug named Emilio Bonifacio went 3-4 with 3 SB, 3 R, and an inside the park HR.
The bad news is that the Nats traded him in the offseason to the Marlins. Ouch.
Eh, how's he performing now? I think he's slumping isn't he?
The President? Oh, yes. He's definitely off the schnide.
My Atlantic League team, however, is in first place!
