Iraq? That's a tough one. Terrorism? Not so easy. Was it a home run? Um, not supposed to be so difficult.

You wouldn't know that if you watch baseball lately.

See, when I was a kid we had these crazy things in the outfield called... walls. If the ball went over the wall, it was a home run. If the ball didn't go over the wall, it wasn't a home run. 

Not anymore. Generation Soft now has sponges and cushions out there so nobody gets a boo-boo. Stop calling it a wall -- especially in places like Cleveland and Colorado. It's the outfield pillow, okay?

Maybe we have fewer concussions, but my head has a big headache from watching all those slo-mo replays of questionable balls hitting the top of the pillow and that God-awful yellow line, which only adds to the confusion.

Who created this yellow line? I want this person shipped to Gitmo ASAP.

Can somebody please round-up the greatest American minds and ask them to solve our national is-it-a-home-run-or-not nightmare flooding through Major League Baseball ballparks?

Unlike Iraq and terrorism, deciding if a ball is a home run shouldn't be so difficult.
