Thanks to Global Warming, It's Too Cold For Baseball
Any baseball fans who still have the March 12 Sports Illustrated on hand have been getting a good laugh lately. SI, being owned by the left-leaning MSM conglomerate Time Warner AOL, decided in that issue to set sports aside in favor of preaching the phony gospel of global warming. Check out the cover:
The Marlins play in Miami, which will soon be underwater according to the Goracle's apocalyptic prophesies. But the problem baseball has been having isn't flooded stadiums — it's extreme cold. Not only fans but even players on the field have been wrapping up like mummies in an attempt to avoid frostbite. Games have been canceled due to single-digit temperatures. In Cleveland, the snow and cold have now made it impossible for the Indians to play the Mariners for three straight days.
Of course Kool-Aid–guzzlers will tell you that the cold, like all weather, is caused by global warming. Anyone misguided enough to get their science reporting from Sports Illustrated might just believe it.
On a tip from Wiggins.

Ah, yeah, but soon we'll have some brainwashed Gaia cultist coming along to tell us that record cold actually proves Global Warming is real.

Baseball season is too long anyway. 162 games, for crying out loud.

Absolutely stunning! As I sit here shivering in 20-degree cold this evening, at about latitude 35 degrees North, on Easter Sunday, April 8th, five feet of snow has fallen on the U.P., about the same amount all over the Great Lakes and environs, and all al-bore and these global idiots can caterwaul about is how damn HOT the Earth is getting!
V the K is right, and in fact they've already done that, my friend. This record cold, lasting well into typical high-70's & low-80's early April for this neck of the woods, is consistently blamed on "man-made" global warming via the convenient lie of "excessive" human greenhouse gas emissions (unlike the actual noxious B.S. that comes out of al-bore's mouth, 24/7; but that's "inspired thought," according to those who know so much more than we mere peons).
God help us all if these twits gain "Big Brother"-like power over all us little folk, cause we really will be just little folk forevermore, if we haven't been selected, executed and re-cycled as "unnecessary carbon-emitters."

And Al Bore bloviated from on high in his ivory tower: "NO MORE NIGHT BASEBALL !! LIGHTS USE CONTRIBUTE TO GLOW-BALL WARMING !!"

MLBaseball is a bit too concerned with revenues. They could make it a 140 game season--but then, would the Empire be happy with a short circus?

In Manchester NH this is a minor leauge team, The Manchester Fisher Cats. They attempted to use a Zamboni (ice smoothing machine) to clear the field so the fist home game of the season could be played. (Didn't work.)
Tell me again how much warmer the planet is getting.
