Goodbye Baseball

Post by heyzeus »

Well, that was anticlimactic.

What are y'all going to do for the next 6 months?

Fret about our pitching and complimentary offense.

5 months, man. Remember that the World Series lasts almost until Christmas now.

Lots of Blues games. Putting in a lot of o.t. at work. Hopefully working in my shop this winter, and doing some landscaping in March if it gets warm early. This past baseball season wore me out anyway, but I'm sure I'll be pining away for April soon.

I'm a big fan of the Hot Stove. I'm going to go to spring training again just when it finally gets unbearable.

I'm sure I'll be fine, but I'm still a little worried.

NCAA football will take up a lot of my sports-related time. Tennessee is back in the SEC race after their OT victory against South Carolina, and we've got three more home games before going on the road against Kentucky. Mizzou is also in great shape, and I hope they can make it to the Big 12 championship for a (presumed) rematch against the Sooners.

Basketball will also get a lot of my attention. Tennessee is preseason #7, and since students don't even have to buy tickets for home games (we just swipe our IDs at the door), I'll be going frequently. Chris Lofton is amazing.

That should take me through to March.

Hot Stove is one of my favorite times of the year. I enjoy reading about/listening to some of the silly rumors. I enjoy the sense of hope it can instill.

Also, more and more fantasy baseball goes almost year round. Keepers'll be due starting in December/January for many leagues and slow message board drafts will start in Jan/Feb.

Anyway, with GRB addiction rampant with no cure in sight, baseball is never far from my daily entertainment.
