Baseball, Part 2
Josh Hamilton ranks 81st of 92 hitters in the American League, in batting average. I love watching players leave the Rangers for "greener" pastures. Most of them end up playing for losing teams and wishing they were back in Arlington.... Continue reading

Here is a list of American League 20-game winners since 1976. Which name does not appear on the list? You guessed it: Felix Hernandez. The man has won more than 14 games only once. I am sick to death of the excuses made for him by sportswriters and fans. Has it occurred to them that, by excusing ...

From Today's New York Times
TO THE EDITOR: “G.O.P., Energized, Weighs How Far to Take Inquiries” (front page, May 17) should sadden us all. Again, the right-leaning Republicans would rather look backward and finger-point than forward and legislate. America sends leaders to Washington not to... Continue reading

What do you make of the pope's comments? Before you answer, read this. I have nothing against the Catholic Church. Indeed, I love the church and what it has given us. But I hate hypocrisy. Practice what you preach! Don't... Continue reading
