Flag Waving and Jersey Fails

Yesterday reminded us of the great connection that sports can have with patriotism. Seeing all of these displays really makes me disappointed that the Reds game was postponed, I had some good stuff planned for GABP but by tomorrow afternoon I have a feeling that the news of the weekend will be old news. But at least yesterday folks around the country had reactions like this to our National Anthem.

I know they always cheer like this in the United Center when Jim Cornelison sings but I certainly had special significance yesterday. As did the San Diego Padres wearing their special camo uniforms.

Apparently Johnny Cueto needs another rehab start in Louisville. He struggled in his last appearance so I'd say give him more time. Better to have him ready and effective for the long haul of the summer.

This is really funny. It'd be funnier if it was in Columbus and not Michigan.

Follow me on Twitter. The rain will stop one of these days.

Death of Osama

Today I take a break from sports and talk about the impact that the death of Osama Bin Laden has on our way of life. How we should be grateful for our freedoms, our military, and the hope that this feeling of unity can last instead of just fading away.
