Is that all there is?
Is it me? I don't know, it could be me. Have you ever gotten that email that says you've reached the end of the internet, now get back to work? Well, I think I've done it. I think I've seen everything there is to see on television at least once. I used to think it was OK because if I had missed anything, I got to catch up. But, now, I'm caught up. There's nothing left to see. I've learned all about the Knights Templar and know just exactly how haunted the Stanley Hotel really is. But, WHY must Pay Per View show the same movie on five of the 35 PPV channels all at the same time? Do they really think I would watch that many TV sets at once? Further more, if I lived in a house full of people, which I don't, why oh why would we all be watching the same movie at the same time on the same channel, on different tvs? I just don't get it. Have all the stories been told? Are there no more marvelous marvels? Has the last mystery been diagnosed? Perhaps the world drama has taken a toll on our creativity. The war has zapped our imaginations of tales of happiness and peace. Maybe we are so concerned about the cost of gasoline that there isn't anything left that we want to learn how to make. Our innocence has been robbed by the media and propaganda machines of the early 21st century and we no longer care if the Concords take flight or how big love really is, why, even the fashion police are out of rules.
Perhaps baseball. Maybe baseball is our one true saving grace in this world anymore. It's the All American pass time and more and more players are joining the big leagues from all around the world. It's the time that recalls days of summer vacations and baseball games with the neighbor kids in the park. It's happy time days. I must admit, there's a new game every day, on several different channels. And even if the teams are the same, you just never know when a 7-0 lead will turn into a 10-8 loss. Besides, I hear this is the year for the Cubbies! Maybe I haven't seen it all.

2 Criticisms:
Not quite. I hate to shit in your Wrigley Field, but we cannot look to baseball, either. Baseball is a glorified gang. They fight with bats on a big field where crowds of innocent people watch. It's full of drugs, money, ridiculously inflated pay scales and advertising field slogans for example: Franklin Covey Field, Minute Maid Park, Citizens Bank Park - see also Graffiti and Gang Signs.
Why aren't stadiums named after really important people - people who made an impact? Anyone who's dedicated their lives to improving mankind or awakening a conscious like Rosa Parks Stadium, Gregor Mendel Park or even Al Gore Field.
What ever happened to the Great American Hero? G.I. Joe is a war soldier who is still fighting a war against Cobra, after 25 years. There is nothing/no one in this world children can look up to in admiration without it being tainted by some conservative/liberal propaganda. There's a dark cloud with every silver lining.
Try Soccer.
Oh sure, now you're dissin' baseball. It's America's favorite pass time! Why even during WW2 when all the baseball players were in the Army, baseball was still played. With women. And by the way, unlike Salt Lake, Chicago will not let anyone change the name of Wrigley Field. It has been and always will be Wrigley Field. Be sides, it sounds so much better than 'Juicy Fruit' field.
