Notably: Watching baseball is getting ridiculous. Used to be that you could get one subscription to MLB TV and you were set. Used to be you could rely on your son’s subscription the moment he got a job and even save all that money. Now to watch the Yankees you have to have eight subscriptions to every streaming service under the sun. Not that I actually watch them. I haven’t watched a full baseball game in 15 years. Last season I may have watched a total of nine innings all season–one out here, one out there. But I like to know I could. It’s like what Edward Abbey said: “We need a refuge even though we may never need to go there. I may never in my life get to Alaska, for example, but I am grateful it’s there. We need the possibility of escape as surely as we need hope.” Baseball has always been our escape despite becoming just another billionaires’ club. I think of it the way I think of the idealized America that never was, but that we recreate every evening under the lights–even if I never watch. Knowing it’s there is like knowing that the original of the Constitution is at the National Archives, that the bases are still in place, that there’s still, Ulysses, a home to get to. Streaming is demolishing that. Then again, maybe I am repeating an American story as old as the first diamond. See Richard Ford’s quote below.

There’s no reason our game should be any different from how we are as a people. Anyone who thinks differently shouldn’t, and is wrong, and will soon be left in the road wearing his woolly uniform, holding his 48-ounce bat and waiting for one more glorious sunset. It’s not clear, of course, which came first: if America gradually became a country of litigation, investigation, contract disavowal, mortgaged futures and egregious excess, and baseball just began to seem bland by comparison — a game like another. Or if baseball did damage to itself, became its own enemy so that two decades of bad decisions, large and small, about playing surfaces, inhospitable parks, moronic mascots, players’ strikes, owners’ arrogance, hypocritical rule applications, plus the rise of free agency over team loyalties, the persistence of systemic racism, all that and a good deal more — if it all finally accumulated like trash around our knees and suggested to us that the best interests of baseball were not in any clear way our best interests.
–From Richard Ford’s “Stop Blaming Baseball,” The New York Times, April 4, 1993.

What if’n?
That is, what if’n the people of Iran are indeed genuinely glad to see that the repressive regime they have lived under is possibly coming to an end, and thank us… in a hundred years. By then perhaps even Trump will be universally looked upon fondly… after all, he’s-a-Tefl’n.
BUT, not before’n they hand “him” a real shallackin’ if/when boots are put on the ground there.
But that’s the cost of freedom… right? The Iranian people win, eventually. Trump wins, eventually. Perhaps even Putin will get something out of it all. No one really loses?
Right?
Just-a-say’n… so much-a-win’n all-round can’t be bad.

I understand your yearning to find a positive spin out of all this chaos James? There is little to none.
Our freedom as a nation hasn’t been under threat since WWII. Like it or not, if you do a little historical research you will find that more often than not WE ARE THE BAD GUYS.
James says
Well, I’m not a student of history so I’ll leave the debating of past actions to those more capable than myself.
But as to this new Iran campaign clearly one point can be made, it is not a matter for the NATO nations to become involved. The NATO pact is based on the premise that if one member nation is attacked, the others will come to that nations aid. It is not based on a situation in which a member nation takes it upon itself to attack another nation, go to war with that nation and then request aid of other NATO nations in facilitating that war.
And certainly, in my opinion, to then go further and declare that such inaction on the part of NATO is reason to call into question our relationship with NATO is clearly a path of reasoning that should be (under normal circumstances) suspect of being some means to some other end.
Again, just my armchair “Joe-Q citizen” opinion.
