What it isn't good for

A Royals manager loses a nephew as the Royals lose yet another game and the U.S. loses 14 Marines.

Cheering for the home team is great, supporting the troops is a must but all of these losses are adding up. However, unlike a baseball game, the loss of life faced by the soldiers and their families is an ongoing tragedy that can't be ignored . . . no matter what the Bush family thinks.
