The Repugs You Tube...


debate was not easy to watch or listen to on the radio and I did a bit of both last week. High entertainment but the pandering to low IQ'ers gets on your nerves after a while.

Probably why my mind wandered to baseball and I mentally gave the guys a quick scouting report....

Guliani: Overated in all facets of the game. Thinks he's a power hitter and swings for the fence everytime....some bloops that turned into doubles due to fielder errors have him thinking he's in line for a future batting title. Weak arm and limited range in the field.

Huckster: Line drive hitter who might learn to hit for average. Good defensive skills and doesn't try to do to much. Fans seem to appreciate his hustle.

Thompson: Over the hill and can't catch up with hard stuff. Fans remember his legend more than actual performance. Too slow to advance even if he does get on base with a walk. No intimidation factor here.

Paul: Surprising opposite field power but can't run the bases...will chase breaking stuff out of the zone. Not agile enough to play in the field but plays in the wrong league with no DH.

Romney: Switch hitter who can only hit fastballs but swings at everything. Can be picked off on base and prone to errors in the field. Kinda guy that likes to admire his own home runs and might be due for a dusting from the right pitcher.

McCain: Another switch hitter who has changed leagues too many times to be effective as clean up guy. Used to play hard ...Had high upside years ago but now is at the tail end of a long term deal and no longer worth the money...has embarrassed himself and his team more and more often.

Trancedo: Replacement player with no discernible skills

Hunter: Couldn't carry Trancedo's jock.
