Baseball needs to be more like Football!

So the Saints and the Hogs have something in common this morning – no longer in last place in their division this morning.

Which, oddly enough, is a distinction that the Memphis Tigers reached before the Razorbacks did. Of course, Arkansas didn’t play Rice or Marshall to win their 2 conference games…but then again, we did play Ole Miss to get the one conference win we DO have, so there’s that.

Just give Jeff Gordon his 5th Championship now and run Daytona next week. He’s better than Jimmie Johnson and I’m ready to see Jr. in that Mountain Dew Green #88. I’m also ready to see him in Victory Lane again, and sad to say that probably won’t happen again in the Budweiser Red #8.

I’m also tired of the steroid/HGH arguments…Babe Ruth didn’t have weight trainers and everything that today’s players have either. So it came out THIS weekend that (insert whoever it is THIS week here) was getting HGH. It’s a different time – and so long as nobody’s using a Steve Austin Bionic Man arm, then I don’t really care. Most people can’t tell you who won the world series 6 years ago – or 4 years ago – if it wasn’t their team. And the “baseball purists” need to get over themselves. It’s a freakin’ game. Ask the parents of St. Jude patients if it really matters that Barry Bonds or Mark or Sammy took steroids or HGH or garlic extract or ate their spinach like Popeye. It’s a game and it’s entertainment. Do like the NFL and NASCAR…Keep me entertained for 3 or 4 hours and go away until next week!! Or I suppose like the Razorbacks…irritate me to death for 3 hours and go away until next week.
