What Inning Are We In Now?

   You know, I got to thinking about the very important role major league sports plays in our society.  The NFL is now in full swing, The NHL is just basically getting started, the NBA is preparing to roll out soon, and MLB is showcasing two of the finest baseball teams in the World Series.  What a great society we live in!!  We, speaking of this country collectively, really get involved with our major league sports.  And then, we have the college scene which encompasses the same sports and many more.  I love sports and I think they are great.  What a great psychological lift sports affords us.
     Remember, this country is 11.4 trillion dollars in debt, unemployment is at an all time high (and probably will go higher), and, again, the value of the dollar keeps dropping which naturally keeps the price of oil climbing.  Our lives are basically on hold or maybe a little in reverse.  If I were to compare the present US state of being to major league sports, might I suggest that we are in a 4th down situation with 96 yards to go; or the slap shot caught us in back of the head; or we are totally dribbling our future off the court; and it's the bottom of the ninth inning (we're behind 15 to 2) and the bottom of the batting order is up.
     Oh, excuse me, it's time to fire up the charcoal grill in the car port and do a little tailgating before I turn on my 13" TV (which doesn't receive a signal anymore).  So, I'll listen to the radio for my favorite team to do something to patch up this broken country.
