Playing Baseball is fun, watching baseball is fun
Watching Congress discuss baseball and steroids? Not fun.

Does anyone really care about this issue? I'm a baseball fan and even I don't care about it.

The dollar slide, oil price spike, Iraq War and a thousand other issues are far more important.

This has to be up there with these celebrity show trials, "reality" TV and Paris Hilton for the title of "Greatest Waste of Time and Energy."

5. Go Sox!
The first professional baseball game I ever saw was at the Fens - Red Sox-Angels and the Sox won 12-11.

It was 1967 and LBJ was President.

And Gerge W. Bush was gay and drunk.

Some things never change.

2. Watching...
men swing big sticks who have round big asses running around bases is fun--for a gay guy!

4. Well, they have to investigate something
and clearly the Bush administration is off the table.

They're just trying to earn their paychecks!

6. it's a double bonus for Bush...
It keeps his own crimes from being investigated, plus he gets to have Schilling 'testify' to his love for Bush and Cheney to millions and millions.

It's like the Twilight Zone, isn't it? Schilling heaps praise on Bush & Cheney and then extols the virtue of his labor union. Doesn't he realize that his union, under his hero, will be totally defanged, starting with today's hearings? What an idiot.

7. i am disgusted with the whole mess
managers lying,owners lying,players lying,bud lying,and alot of people don`t care about it. it`s just another symptom of what ever it takes to get mine-fuck the records,fuck the people,and fuck my health. as far as i am concerned baseball fucked itself and i hope the owners and players are happy about their bullshit records..
