It's not uncommon for a professional baseball game to last 3 hours. That's longer than 'Citizen Kane.' Thankfully, announcers are armed with statistics to dazzle the viewers, because everyone loves statistics. Right?

Despite the current economy, it has been a great week for New York City. First with the arrival of the USS New York (its an awsome battleship), then Michael Bloomberg won reelection and now the Yankee's won the world series.
Three wonderful events for New York and its not even Thursday yet. Guess Bloomberg will be having that victory parade he promised tomorrow.
Let it be top of with the fact that Bloomberg had the honor of watching the World Series on the USS New York as it sailed from New Orleans to its namesake city.
But why celebrate with an expensive parade. Maybe its better for the Yankees to have a victory party on the USS New York with the servicemen and Mayor Bloomberg. All they will need is 15 kegs and 40 handles to celebrate this achievement.

If you've ever wondered about some of those calls that go the pinstripe way, or if there's just a little too much on the payroll, or perhaps the big question of how they can start out terribly and end up in the World Series up 3-1, perhaps it has to do with Major League Baseball's donations. They do have their headquarters in New York, after all.

When I said I wanted to see A-Rod shoot his load, this isn’t quite what I had in mind! But the Yankee had a not-so-private moment to clear his nose boogies during the World Series last night. HOT.

"Marx was wrong: The opiate of the masses isn't religion, but spectator sports. What else explains the astounding fact that millions of seemingly intelligent human beings feel that the athletic exertions of total strangers are somehow consequential for themselves? The real question we should be asking during the madness surrounding this month's collegiate basketball championship season is not who will win, but why anyone cares.
More than a decade ago, a baseball strike canceled the season and the World Series. The first time ever, we were told in hushed tones. A national trauma. Baseball had survived world wars, cold wars, hot dogs — even night games, the designated hitter, and Astroturf — only to succumb to a labor dispute between spoiled millionaire players and even-more-spoiled billionaire owners. How could it be summer without baseball, the pundits pouted? Most portentous, how could we be us without our spectator fix?
Was it really such a disaster? Or is it a disaster that our current paragons have been revealed to be hormonally enhanced and ethically challenged? Or if a college team is denied a bowl slot? Is life so pale, dull, and unsatisfying that it must be experienced vicariously in order to be savored? You might try reading a book, talking with your family, going for a walk, wrestling with the dog, listening to some music, smelling a flower, making love.
Youngsters seem especially prone to that delusion, desperate as they are for heroes, and craving the opportunity to bask in another's glory. And so when children avidly pore over vacuous images and vital statistics, or traipse enthusiastically to the local (or even distant) stadium, it is easy to make allowances. Indeed, there is something touching about such fresh-faced yearning for exemplars, even though the constellations they see may not be notable for the content of their characters, intelligence, compassion, decency, or creativity, but rather for an uncommon and sometimes downright freakish ability to hit, throw, catch, roll, or bounce a ball, to jump high or punch hard, or to bump into other people in such a manner as to knock them down and/or avoid being knocked down themselves. Small wonder everyone ends up disappointed when those luminaries are revealed to be moral dwarfs.""Marx was wrong: The opiate of the masses isn't religion, but spectator... more
