I Miss Baseball Season

Ok, so I know the NHL is in full gear, and the super bowl is fast approaching, and college basketball is just starting to heat up, and the NBA is flashier than ever.

But I miss baseball.

I'm trying to get through this difficult time.  Really, I am.

But I miss baseball.

Maybe that's why I haven't been able to update my blog in so long.  Every day I go to MLB.com to check the hot stove reports.  But honestly, even the hot stove is burning out.  Pretty much all of the all-star contracts have been signed off on; Cliff Lee to the Phillies, Derek Jeter's contract finalized by the Yanks, the Red Sox signed nearly everyone else worth mentioning - I'm not saying the Pujols controversy is completely uninteresting, nor am I succumbing fully to the off-season baseball hibernation.

Let's just say the headline on MLB.com is how the Mets plan on hosting the 2013 all-star game., followed by how Chipper Jones remains hopeful in returning to the field in 2011.  No offense, but YAWN.

I miss checking the SF Giants page every day, I miss the facebook statuses in favor of Posey or Heyward for ROY, I miss the debate over who has the best pitching staff, I even miss listening to the Giants get constantly stepped on and underestimated by the "experts."  Because all the controversy and action and speculation evokes a passion within me I'm missing.  Right now, I feel lost.  Whereas during the baseball season I procrastinate by reading Buster Olney make magic out of random statistics on ESPN, now I've been forced to start a twitter page so I can keep up with Chad Ochocinco.



I miss baseball.

  1. I miss baseball too! That's why I'll be at Giants' Fan Fest this Saturday! I'll take pictures and send them to you! And, Spring training is just around the corner with exciting questions that will (hopefully) be answered. Has Pablo lost weight? Will Freddie Sanchez be healthy? Will B Weez shave?
