Did the Rangers' management tell those Bush losers
to stay home tonight?

Lets go San Francisco Liberal Giants - finish it tonight.

6. Well if the Giants win at home that will be the first World Series win after an election
http://www.npr.org/blogs/itsallpolitics/2010/10/06/130375017/how-can-we-have-an-election-if-the-world-series-isn-t-over-yet?ft=1&f=1001
<snip>

If you follow politics, you've heard some version of that line many times. And it's always had a ring of truth. Many American voters habitually put off thinking about voting until they have to. Any distraction will do, and the "the fall classic" is a lovely, mythic distraction.

This year, however, will be different from all others. Those putting off their voting decision until after the World Series of 2010 may miss the election of 2010 altogether. That's because for the first time, the November election may be over before the Series ends.

How did it come to this? And is there anything constitutional government can do to correct such a travesty?

Good questions. Let's take them one at a time.

3. Have you heard any crowd reaction to them?
I keep changing the channel... Bush and beer do not mix well with me:) I did leave it on the one time when they were driving around in a golf cart... but the sports dudes were yakking and I couldn't tell if there was cheering or booing. Dim Son had that typical bad boy doesn't want to be here look. I really hate him. And I hate him for making me hate another human being!

5. Well Baseball is a game of history
and whether we like it or not W used to be an owner in the Rangers, so if Bush called and said I want to through out the first pitch, they cant very well say no. I dont hate the Rangers, they are a good team with alot of great players, but I am rooting for the Giants.

8. "San Francisco Liberal Giants"
So, once again, those who pull for the Rangers or are from Texas must all be conservative.

Again, this isn't about baseball, but regional bigotry. Alerted.

10. Nothing wrong with rooting for the home team
Unless the home is a suburban wasteland that represents so much that's wrong with this country.
