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

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

Very nice questions, Trevor, and with just the right amount of
"needle" for our yank friends. Listening to that organ drivel I was
reminded of the wonderful scene in "Slapshot" where Paul Newman roughs
up an organist for playing "Lady of Spain", as of course any sane
person would. I believe the Olympic Committee is looking to reduce the
number of sports. If so they won't have to look far.
Incidentally, what's with the hideous rock music during every tiny
break in the beach volleyball? Come to think of it, what's beach
volleyball doing in the Olympics anyway?

They have got to do something to keep up lalgging
viewer interest.
