Did you watch Detroit Tiger Armando Galarraga throw a perfect game last night? Well, technically Galarraga's effort won't go down in history as a perfect game because of a bad call with two outs in the ninth inning from umpire, Jim Joyce. If you saw the game, Galarraga clearly tapped the first base bag with the ball gloved before the runner when the umpire called the runner safe.
Let me follow up this with a second question regarding our President. Is this the change you voted for?!
That's right Mr. President, where are you in all this? Is it just me or does it also strike you as funny that it was just a couple months ago that President Obama was throwing out what passes as a first pitch these days for the Washington Nationals opening game. Yet there is no report whatsoever that he even bothered to address bad calls when he had the opportunity to talk to MLB umpires. There's another thing - notice how he made the point to throw the pitch left-handed? Yeah, nice move from the guy who claimed he was going to bring bipartisanship to Washington.
Come to think of it, the President has a bad track record when it comes to baseball. Remember his mom-jeans when he threw the first pitch at the All-Star Game in 2009? Who doesn't, right?
I know those on the left have cried foul when others have made the earnest charge that the President is a proponent of socialist and communist ideas. Yet somehow it's okay when Obama's administration has nothing to say about a bad call that deprives a pitcher of the elusive Perfect Game and threatens to damage the credibility of America's Pasttime. Apparently America's Pasttime isn't important, but allowing illegals to run rampant in the country, defending terrorists, and pandering to socialist Europe are.
I ask again, is this the change you voted for?

This is certainly NOT the change I voted for.
