Yet another call for Bud Selig and Major League Baseball to say something, anything on the Aryzona Gestapo law.
And here’s a sadly appropriate look at the issue:

Yes, those are actual crayons you can buy for your kids. Wish I had some when I was a little one.
Fireworks send Lastings Milledge into an ill-fated home-run trot – Big League Stew – MLB Blog – Yahoo! Sports
Sure, the Cubs lost this game, but they sure they heck look like idiots in this game.

Baseball Feels the Social Media Heat on Arizona’s Immigration Law | onPhilanthropy
More on how Major League Baseball is getting an earful for it’s silence on the issue.
Granted, the Player’s Association has made it’s disgust known and that’s a good thing. But scumbag Bud Selig is as silent as he is bereft of morals on any other issue.
I don’t expect anything I want to hear from him, but just say something dirtbag!
MLB All-Star Game should emigrate from Arizona over immigration – CBSSports.com
Apparently some folks think it is legal to create a subclass of humans based solely on race. That’s the Aryzona solution.
Here’s one sportswriter who wants to move the All-Star Game out of Arizona next year. I agree with the sentiment and hope it happens.
Here’s another article on the protest the Diamondbacks are getting as they travel around the country. It is sad that every player is having to get yelled at for this, but the team’s owners are huge GOP backers and presumably for this. So, like all business boycotts, the line workers suffer the anger. In this case, very well paid line workers, but it is still shitty.
We’ve got a lot of states praising treasonous history and thinking about institutionalized racism like Aryzona’s. It’s a damn shame this is how some of our country wants to behave. You would wish us to be better than this.

He’s done this kind of crap before. Here’s one this still pisses me off.
What Would Be Your ‘At-Bat’ Theme Song? : NPR
You can’t start a respectable season with a Yankees game (even if they did lose, Go Sox!), so today is the proper first day of the baseball season.
With this spirit in mind, here’s a fun article on the subject of at-bat songs. Enjoy.
Go Cubbies!
Aroldis Chapman hits 100 mph, strikes out three in Reds debut – Big League Stew – MLB Blog – Yahoo! Sports

Cuban pitching sensation Aroldis Chapman finally pitched a couple innings for the Reds and the results look pretty good.
Now hopefully he’ll be given the time to develop his talent and gain some strength before Dusty Baker kills his arm.
