Townie Softball
In other news, softball with the townies started this week and the Tall Boys are 1-1. I'm proud to say I had a few instrumental at-bats in our rousing extra-innings win over some fat dudes from Merrick. Townie softball is my new reason to live.
Opening Week
It's been a good first week, thus far, although I've started work and I was kind of sick this week (both big time booos) so thats the reason for no posts. But its off and running and its been pretty good.
The Yanks and Braves are struggling early but will make the playoffs because they always do. Rule #1: Never count out the Yankees because they ALWAYS make the playoffs. So, fans don't panic this has happened each of the last 5 years and the Bombers always end up with a spot in the postseason (of course they suck when they get in but thats another story). The annoying thing is listening to the goddamned media (I'm looking at you, ESPN) and their alarmist, apocalyptic, speculative broadcasts all season long. What's wrong with the Yankees? Is this the year the team with the highest payroll finally folds? Will they make the playoffs? Yes, douchebags, they will. They always do.
What's up with the Tigers? I was kind of hoping they would make some noise this season -which they are- just not in the way anyone intended. )-5 is kind of inauspicious, though. The question is whether they can set it straight because they are NOT the Yankees. They do got that crusty, old, wizard-genius Jim Leland in their corner, though. I think they'll be OK.
I gotta go check out the Mets and see if they can erase yesterday's shitshow vs. the Braves. At least, this one won't be called by Joe Buck and Tim McCarver. They are the freaking pits.
