weekend time, suck it.
the mariners are back, and i am not sure how i feel about that. i approach this season with a sense of chagrin, knowing i am going to pay attention which will inevitably lead to heartbreak once again. they did it already. the offseason started out fine, then at the end of camp their handling of some of our prospects hit like a fork to the nuts. but what am i supposed to do, stop paying attention to baseball? yeah, i'll never kick my sports habit. having your life destroyed by a losing baseball team is all part of the human experience, so bring it on. i'll root for you, chris jakubauskas, even as your era out of the bullpen balloons to 5.40 during our midseason dive to the bottom of the standings. because you had the potential, once, to buck the trend and become cool in a way ryan franklin could never dream of.
oh yeah, i feel the blood flowing through my veins now. i know exactly how i am feeling about baseball, and it gives me tingly in the pants feelings. baseball isn't about the season at hand, it is about all seasons that could happen years from now. everyone is so hard at work building that indomitable baseball dynasty. unparalleled success is just around the corner! buy some more peanuts.
