Americas Past Time

Well if you are remotely a fan of sports you know that today is a big day for baseball. Its opening day! For me all this means is more pointless unexciting highlights (yes, NHL I am talking about you as well)  to be add in between Blake Griffen highlights and NFL labor talks. But as any good America I will attend my fair share games this year and pull for my home team (The Rangers, no one really liked Cliff Lee or the baby ferret that was growing under his bottom lip anyways).

They say baseball is Americas past time, but so is Mcdonalds, Jersey Shore, and Oprah right? I think to continue to call baseball Americas game some people might need to start actually watching it (Pittsburgh Pirates anyone?) When you look at the numbers its easy to see Football (the real football, not the communist version) far exceeds baseball in popularity. Even if you don't look at the numbers, think about it do more people watch the Super Bowl or the World Series Series. (Don't be dumb Yankees Fans).

So I think its a great sport don't get me wrong, its fun to watch and play, but Americas past time? I really don't think so..I think most Americans are a little more interested in what Baby Bieber is up to, rather than how many innings it takes the Phillies to crush the Blue Jays.

If hes a Rangers fan I am so going to Pirate his next CD for sure!
