the sky is falling

I'm going to rank the Izturis signing below the Obama lapel pin on the list of things to worry about. That's just how I roll.

Does anyone REALLY care about any of this stuff? I certainly don't, but I find it fun to talk/argue/complain/discuss/whatever you want to call it.

That's good, but the way I read it some people seem inordinately frustrated. Especially given all the context.

I don't know, maybe I'm one of those that comes across like that. The offseason has not gone well, I didn't get the GM I wanted and the one we did get makes me wonder what is going on. I agree it's real early, but so far I'm "concerned".

I say "concerned", because in the grand scheme of my life baseball ranks at about #2,199,280,399 of things I that I really worry about, but certainly in the top 5 of things that give me enjoyment.

And I'll bet if we all got together over a couple of beers, people on completely opposite sides of the spectrum would actually enjoy the conversation 99% of the time. As far as some other bulletin board mentalities, what I see there is "The sky is falling". What I see, or at least like to think I see here, is "The sky is falling because ...." followed by a list of reasonably logical arguments. Certainly room for disagreement and debate, but a far cry from some other things I've seen on web sites and heard on radio call in shows.

In my opinion of course.

When my concerns fall on the same side as greenback, Steve, Jim, Haltz and Easton...I know I'm not being a Chicken Little.

I don't mind people being upset over some of the moves, but I'll never get the people that would rather be right about bad signings (and be the first to say "I called it!") than wish well for the team.

Attention on a message board or radio show, that's pretty much the only reason that happens.
