My First Post

I'm a big baseball fan so I guess my first blog post might as well be about baseball to go with the current poll that I have. Who will win this years World Series? I will not say who I feel is going to win, because I do not want to sway any votes for the very few people that will actually read this blog or vote in the poll.Plus, I could really care less since the Tigers are sitting at home watching. But please feel free to vote if you are reading this. Anyway, I am a huge Detroit Tigers fan. They just picked up the option on future hall of fame catcher Ivan "Pudge" Rodgriguez. I thought this was a good move. They really did not have much of a choice. I think that one of the big focus points of any off season moves will be to find a future catcher to replace him.



What do you think of MLB's advertising slogan for this years playoffs? In case you have not heard it, it is "You're a Fan, Watch like one!" I don't know about you, but I really don't like that slogan. If MLB can make the games entertaining, then I'll make sure I'm watching. One way that I think MLB could make the games more entertaining would be to have umpire cams. A small, light weight camera that would fit on the hat that the umps wear. It would really bring fans into the game so that we could see what is going on out on the field. The umps would never go for it though because it would be viewed as trying to catch the umps making mistakes. Another idea, would be to put microphones in the bases and at home plate. Kind of a sounds of the game type of thing. There was an article I read on CBS sportsline today about improving MLB telecasts. One of the interesting ideas the author had was to put a camera high and straight above home plate. I thought that was a great idea as well. Maybe then there would not be as controversial of a call at the plate like there was in the one game playoff with the Rockies and Padres. Of course, you would have to have instant replay as well.....which I am in favor of too.

Well, I guess that is it for today. South Park just came on and I see they are now ripping on my boy Bono. That is just soooo wrong to do what they are doing to Bono right now. That's just wrong.......Funny, but wrong.
