even peter gammons bags on W

couldn't resist. Scroll down to the item about the Cleveland Indians and how they are 28th in league attendance with one of the more exciting teams in the league. Gammons sees fit to mention a depressed Ohio economy where "280,000 jobs" in Ohio were lost during the first 4 years of the Bush administration.

Gammons, perhaps my favorite baseball writer, is no political ideologue. At the end of his column, he gives props to Carl Everett, a White Sox player who last week spoke against the emergence of gays in sports and the teaching of evolution in schools (props were not for these comments, but for his play on the field). If Gammons were a political ideologue he'd probably not want to give Carl Everett any credit at all for anything.

So, as Peter Gammons goes, so goes the nation? right, he's a regular Walter Lippmann.

P.S. Why does Peter Gammons rock so much? In a previous column, he gave props to a Social Distortion remake of the Clash's "Death or Glory." Rock indeed.
