Saturday Morning Roundup

Not that he’ll remember it, but I can always tell my son that at his first baseball game Ryan Howard hit two homers, a triple, and a double, and that Chase Utley homered, too. Once he got used to all the loud noises he warmed up to experience and spent the last few innings entertaining people in the surrounding rows with his bouncing and big smiles and laughter.

I see that you all made a valiant effort to top my Hasselhof video, but I am not sure any of you succeeded.

I still want to know why the Americans had their winning goal taken away at the World Cup. If they don’t advance because of that mystery call, I think we should declare war on Mali.

Do you need to name a pet?
