Reds vs Cardinals

Spent a fun evening at Great American Ballpark for the 2010 Civil Rights game. Quite a few big names were in attendance this year for an extensive pregame ceremony including Hank Aaron, Frank Robinson, Willie Mays, Ernie Banks, Billie Jean King, Harry Belafonte, Roberta Flack and Laila Ali. I was also overly excited to see the superhot Sage Steele from ESPN. With all these celebrities on hand the game was sure to be a letdown, right? Wrong! With two outs in the top of the ninth inning, the Cards were only down by one and had the tying run on first when Joe Mather shot a double into the left field corner. Skip Schumaker tried to score from first but was nailed at home by a diving Ramon Hernandez in a very close play to end the game. It was probably the most exciting game-ending play I've ever witnessed and screamed myself hoarse along with the rest of the sellout crowd. This brings the Reds to only a half game back of St. Louis in the National League Central Division.
Both teams wore 1947 throwback uniforms who's retro coolness were negated by most players insistence on wearing long, bunch-bottomed "pajama pants." Attention Major League Baseball: It is within your power to force players to wear their baseball uniform correctly. Nobody in 1947 wore these ridiculously long pants which often cover the cleats and reach the ground. This is how one wears not only a throwback uni but their everyday game pants as well. Thank you.

Rush Gets Rammed

Conservative blowhard Rush Limbaugh was dropped from the group looking to buy the St. Louis Rams football team. Limbaugh predictably blamed “the left” in this country from preventing his bid to become an NFL owner. The even blowhardier Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson have tried to block Rush from buying the team because of his past comments, particularly one about Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb being overrated because the media wanted to see a black quarterback succeed.

960 AM KZIM (ZIMmer Radio Group--the former owners) is a News/Talk station licensed to Cape Girardeau, Missouri. I find this sticker confusing. KZIM is located in Rush Limbaugh's hometown and carries his program but is saying that Rush is NOT right? Am I missing something here?
