Sports thoughts

1) Maybe I miss the 90's and early 2000 brand of baseball. It seems like the hitters today are at a severe disadvantage. Teams have a much harder time scoring runs.

2) Why did the Marlins hire Jack McKeon? He's too old to be an effective major league manager at age 80. Give the job to someone younger, please. I don't want to see anyone over 65 manage if possible.

3) The Jack McKeon story, broken by the four letter word that controls sports today, is a good example of why I try to ignore them and their opinions. Some of their "experts" think that McKeon is good for the Marlins. I disagree. We need to get rid of these older east coast white sports analysts who miss the good old days of the 70's and 80's.

4) San Francisco is really good and they could repeat if they can add one or two bats in the next month. Their pitching is amazing. Boring to watch, but effective enough to win today.
