Since we are into the World Series I thought I'd do a few lines about that today:
They were going to have Ben Bernake throw out the first pitch of the World Series but they were afraid that by the time the ball reached home plate it would have been inflated to the size of a balloon and then everybody would be looking for the "balloon boy", who couldn't be found anywhere, and the game would never get started.
Next, they asked Hilary Clinton to throw out the first pitch but she said no, unless Obama was willing to stand in at the plate. Baseball officials said that the first pitch in this tradition doesn't have a batter. Hillary said, "Who said I wanted him to have a bat?"… Baseball officials wisely declined.
The Yankees looked like they barely showed up for the first game of the series. I guess they were working on the Obama and Fed premise that they were "too big to fail'.
There were a lot of celebrities in the stands when they played in New York. There was even a reality show producer there and after the first game he tried to get CC Sabathia to be on "The Biggest Loser". (Hey what did you expect, I'm a Phillies fan.)
I understand that Obama tried to appoint a Baseball Czar before the World Series but when he decreed there would be no real winner or loser in the series Baseball Officials put that idea to a halt.
It was not publicly known but they almost ran out of balls in one of the games so Alex Rodriguez made the suggestion to put the game on steroids so they could grow a whole new set if they needed to.
