Finally!!!

Is this cool or what? Seriously, I just don’t see how it gets any better. I’m already starting to shake inside. See, this weekend is the final four. The semifinals were played last night and Monday evening will be the championship game. That’s always been a highlight for me, and having the local college team involved always makes it even more exciting. As wonderful as this may seem, and it is quite exciting for me, it pales in comparison to what’s really going on.

Tonight at 8:00, or sometime real close to that, the 2010 baseball season begins. Monday, from 1:00 in the afternoon until well past midnight, I can literally plant myself in my chair and do nothing but watch baseball. Excuse me; my heart just skipped a beat just thinking of it. I think I need to sit down; I’m starting to sweat

Yes, the world is round; I’m somewhat convinced of that each spring around this time. I can’t wait until tomorrow when The Tigers play their first game of the season. My chair waits with baited breath for the time we get to spend together over the next six months or so. It’s kind of tough to be unhappy when the greatest gift I can imagine is delivered to me directly through my television each and every day.

I might actually run out and buy a scorebook to use throughout the year, yeah; I sometimes keep score even when watching a game on television. Oh, damn, the stores are probably closed cuz it’s Easter. Like that’s more important than opening day. What a screwed up world we live in.
