SoSG's Two Great Loves = Less than Sum of Parts

Maybe I'm alone in this, but I view the ceremonial first pitch as sacred. I don't want it sullied by American Idol stars, fictional characters, or lame duck presidents (including one who was greeted at the Nationals opener like most former Dodgers in LA).

And even though I can spend an entire week only quoting Homer Simpson, it doesn't mean I want him on a baseball diamond (softball episode excluded).

I realize my new friend Frank McCourt has to pay off those lack of renovations and traffic cops somehow, but this can only lead us down the thorniest of paths. I lost my mind at the Ohio St - Miami Fiesta Bowl when Buckeye great Eddie George was introduced next to Jarod from Subway, prompting one woman thirty rows away to defend that jagoff. So if I see "The Love Guru," "Storm Shadow," or "Henry (Mutt) Jones III" toss a pitch, I'm storming the field. (Unless Sax takes me to a game... then I'll behave).
