jmc_bksThe Mid-Summer Classic. Who gave the All Star game that name? Classic? What's classic about it? Okay, that sounds a little bitter, maybe because there are no Orioles on the roster except George Sherrill. But it isn't about that -- I've never seen the point of the All Star game. And the Home Run Derby? Again, what's the point? That guys who are paid to hit a ball are able to smack a middle-of-the-plate hanging pitch out to the cheap seats? Eh, please go flex your steroid-pumped muscles elsewhere.
No, my real lament is about my O's. They managed to hang in around .500 till the week before the break, but I don't expect them to see .500 again this season. It's sad and not what I hoped for the team this season, but not a surprise.
And my other sports lament: Brett Favre. Please don't. Just stop. There can be no truly happy outcome for you and the Packers. The only satisfactory ending would be a Superbowl ring, but I don't see that in your future. Please stay retired before you eat up all the goodwill that fans and industry people had for you.
