The Republican Party, since 2009, has been more obstructionist than any political party or faction in American history. Consider, for example, the use of the filibuster in the Senate, During the Great Depression? An average of 0.6 filibusters a year. During the Civil Rights and Vietnam era? An average of 1.1 per year. During the Reagan years? An average of 2 per year. During the Obama presidency? An average of 71 per year.

So no, it’s not “both parties” that are creating gridlock in Washington. And your tired “government sucks” remark is inherently a partisan statement, whether or not you realize it.

Political press is obsessed with what the fringes say and it hurts people in the middle who just want some solid information.

A few fans tweet and complain and its now more important than the thousands going to the game and missing work.

This is why people hate the press (almost as low approval as congress).

Instead of stories on Obama body language and how sad he looked at a debate (how about we talk about who has the best plan and who lies) and instead of talking about people who dont want to miss work (same people who paid by taxpayers) we are not talking about a crucial game 3.

Its bc this is easy for someone like Craig. Real thoughtful debate is for pros.

Am I outraged? Nope. Not happy about the situation, but hardly outraged. MLB is a business, and it knows it can inconvenience fans to its heart’s content, because most fans will show up anyway.
