Hello, Again!
Posted by: Bradley McDonald
Folks, I stand ashamed. It's been five days since I last posted. Hopefully, the Youth Congress bloggers kept you entertained the last few days with their fast and furious commentary! Great job to all you folks that contributed! It was definitely entertaining.
Anyway, five days is entirely too long for my wonderful readers (both of you) to go Bench Warmer-less. Oh, I could rattle off a few excuses and promise to do better, but I've decided to take the easy way out: I've recruited a co-Bench Warmer!
Don't worry/get your hopes up, I'll still be around to comment on the wonderful and wacky world of sports, but since David Bunch did such a wonderful job filling in for me last time, I asked him to help me out and not let this blog go post-less for five days again.
See, I'm attempting to get a Master's Degree in Software Engineering from Texas Tech University through a distance learning curriculum and I will be taking two classes in the fall which promise to be very time consuming (there's your excuse), so Kent allowed me to cry for help. Dave and I will be randomly posting, so for your reading convenience, I put a "Composed By" tag at the top of the post, so you'll know immediately who composed the post.
Anyway, on to a few sports notes:

Anyway, on to a few sports notes:
- In the golf world, Phil Mickelson won his second major title at the PGA Championship in a four hole shootout today. It's easy to cheer for Phil - he's a good guy with a nice, adorable family.
- Rafael Palmeiro will tell his story "soon." I'm still waiting to hear how a very powerful steroid jumped into his body without him even knowing it.
- Terrell Owens has been sent home from the Eagles training camp for being a bad boy. What else is new? Another soap opera moment for a spoiled professional athlete.
- An elephant threw out the ceremonial first pitch in a minor league game a few days back and it was a strike! The Chicago Cubs, after losing eight straight, immediately phoned to see if they could sign the animal to a contract.
- Speaking of baseball, the Astros are atop the Wild Card standings in the National League, due in large part to Roger Clemens, who is having one of the best seasons EVER for a pitcher. Oh, and the amazing thing...Clemens is 43 years old! With his league-leading ERA currently at 1.32, Clemens really should have won every game he has pitched this year. But Houston had a problem scoring runs earlier this year for the old man.
Go, Astros!
