Opening ceremonies

Went up to the bar to watch the Brewers tonight at PJs. They had the Olympic opening ceremonies on. It could be interesting. The Brewers were on a small tv I could watch so I decided to goof on the Olympics. I do like watching the countries march in. That is always impressive to see them come in, big and small, with pride beaming. A comment was made that the Americans would get boo'd. Heck, this is Europe where the feeling on the US is not that high (a feeling that was there before W took office). I thought it wouldn't happen mainly because the Iraqis and Afghans got a good response. Maybe it was my own hubris, but I was feeling pretty confident that the Americans would get a good response. And they did. It was more surprising to see the NBA bums in there.

Brewers won tonight. Surprisingly, Wes Obermueller had a great pitching performance. Still, he should not be in the lineup. Don't care if he cracked an HR. This was not his normal pitching job.
