I just realized I hadn’t posted anything in a while…and for that I throw myself upon the court of public opinion and beg for mercy. I know both of you have been clinging to the edges of your seats waiting for something new to come from me.
Part of me is worn out from the build-up to the 2009 season. I’m really worn out by all the hype over Citi Field and New Yankee Stadium…it doesn’t help that I subscribe to the New York Times and see it probably more than the average person, but there has been so many needless words written about it that it’s really got to stop. I know that it’s a big deal, especially in the Big Apple, but come on…let’s play baseball already.
The weather in Seattle still sucks and hardly makes me think of baseball, although it was tolerable today and supposed to be a bit nicer for Sunday, when the team I’m on has our first official practice with all new members hopefully attending.
And to be honest, I’ve been a bit flat lately. Not sure why – I’m still pounding dozens a few cups of coffee every day, so it’s not for a lack of caffeine. Maybe I just need to get out and do more, which given the economy isn’t really the most appealing thing, especially when it has a price tag attached to it.
Nevertheless, the Braves and the Phillies open up the 2009 regular season Sunday night – I’ve got the DVR set for Baseball Tonight and the actual game as I’ll likely be away from a TV at that time – and we can finally let this roller coaster go after using the chain pull to drag it up to the top of the hill.
