Non-sequitor of the week...
What happened to the US Olympic baseball team?? Hmm? The South Koreans kicked our behinds! Where was the American pitching? Where were the dramatic mid-air catches? Some of the American batters didn't even start running right after they hit the ball...I know it's mid-season for the pros and all, but really, the US has better players to offer. Where were the young stars, the Red Sox of tomorrow?
I have been told that Americans introduced baseball to South Korea as a sport during the Korean war, if this is true it is a little sad to see us so soundly beaten at , literally, our own game. Baseball IS supposed to be our "national pastime," isn't it?
The South Koreans played superior batters, that's all there is to it! After a while, it was painful to watch, even while eating ice cream in my boyfriend's sweet air conditioning.
I have one word for the US baseball coaching staff:
L-A-M-E.
OK, enough ranting, now back to my recent adventure travels...
