Sportsfans,

I've been watching Baseball Olympics and I have some questions.

What is that black crap some players put under their eyes?
What is the black crap for?

To reduce reflections from the sun.

What is the story with that cheesy electric organ music? Yikes!
Am I the only one who finds it horrific?

Think of it as an outdoor theater organ. Saves the crowds from bellowing
out the local team song by themselves.

Who the Hell decided that such an arcane sport would be in the Olympics?
After all, they may as well put cricket in there. At least Australia would
win.

Sure, why not?

On a related note: Are those women softball players typical American women?

Typical woman softball players! Have you seen male American softball
players? Believe me, they're a matched set.

(YIKES!) BTW: I note that the Aussie women team (whose players,
incidentally, actually looked like women) were the only team to score a
solitary run against the Americans.

They can console themselves at the makeup mirror.
