Exciting news

My blog is back. I'm not going to do the personal, politics, sports thing anymore, though. This is going to be whatever I feel like writing about, whenever I feel like writing about it. You know, kind of like an actual blog.

Right now, I'm watching the Olympics. Only our cable box is busted, so I've been watching over the internet. NBCOlympics is a really awesome place to watch a bunch of the events that you don't really get to see on TV, such as team sport games not involving the US, and archery and sailing and all that. They also broadcast USA basketball games on there, even though they are broadcast over the air, so that's pretty cool.

Anyway, right now I'm watching Korea play Taiwan in baseball. And my God, Korea's uniforms are absolutely hideous. I think they wear them to distract the other team.

Team USA baseball should be made up of minor league stars. How could that not be a good idea? It would be great for MLB - the team would be like a showcase of tomorrow's talent, rather than just a collection of college players who may or may not succeed in their professional careers. I'd love to watch Matt Wieters, for instance, tearing it up right now in Beijing.

Softball looked really good earlier today. I hope all of the Nationalists obsessing over the medal count remember that the US pulls in a ton of gold medals in women's events because of the man-hating, feminazi bitches and their damned Title IX that they love railing about.

The Korean centerfielder almost had a ball bounce off his head, like Jose Canseco. How did the US lose to these guys???

Speaking of man-hating lesbians, Ellen Degeneres has to be pumped. Her wife has to be on the short list of world's hottest lesbians. I've got her right behind Jennie Finch (it's only a matter of time before she comes out). Do you think the reason Jennie Finch is such a great pitcher is because all of her opponents are distracted by how much they want to have sex with her? I say it's a solid theory.

Korea is leading 9-8 in the 7th inning, by the way.

Korea's uniform pants have a horizontal blue stripe running across their ass for no reason. It's almost like those short shorts girls wear that have something written across their ass, which really ought to just say "hey, look at my ass" - I mean, who are you trying to fool? - except that these are dudes. Playing baseball. And if you're going for sex appeal, the rest of the unifrom can't be as distractingly hideous as the Korean one is. I think it was just a horrible idea, which is pretty much what the whole costume is. Horrible.

Taiwan, on the other hand, looks really sharp. 30 points to whoever designed that one.

Korea was up 8-1 in this game. Taowan came back to tie it, and now Korea is winning again. Taiwan is at bat, with the guy who hit the ball who which almost killed the centerfielder at 3rd, and 2 out.

Ouch. Taiwan just took a called strike 3 that was ridiculous. At least 6 inches outside.

If Korea holds on, they move to 5-0, and Taiwan falls to 1-4. Japan already beat Canada to send them to 1-4. Assuming Cuba beats the Netherlands later on this morning - and that's a fair assumption - that will mean that the US will almost assuredly have a spot in the quarterfinals if they beat China in the game after that. If Taiwan came back to win the US would then have to win their next game, which would be against Taiwan, to secure the final spot. That would be some pretty good drama. So, I'm split on who to cheer for. Korea does need to be punished for these uniforms, as well. I can't overstate how awful they are.
