Memorial Day

I'll be watching baseball today and I'm especially eager to see the Rockies-Giants game with the appealing mound matchup of Ubaldo Jimenez versus Tim Lincecum. Hits and runs will be at a premium. Although, how many times have these type matchups resulted in a slugfest? But today I think one run might just do the trick.
But while baseball is on my mind this fine Monday, I think first and foremost of the veterans who have served this country, past and present, and those that have paid the ultimate price for our freedom.
Without the sacrifices of those brave individuals we might not have baseball and all the wonderful things we take for granted in the United States. Think about that the next time you read or hear about those evil bastards who want to destroy our way of life and who hate our country.
I could go off on a rant here but I'd like to keep this blog somewhat free of politics. But I think you know what I'm talking about.
So thank you to those who have served and those who gave their lives for our us.
Enjoy your Memorial Day.
