Ah, long time no see, right? Well, a move into a new house and a career change will do that to you. Now that time is a bit more on my side I think I’ll be able to start getting back at it again. Yes, I’ve been keeping up with watching games and keeping tabs on how the season is going in my absence. I’m not convinced that the first place lead in the American League East is Boston’s to lose in any way shape or form.To this point the Rays are still hanging around, the Yankees have just turned it around which means that no one has really wanted it enough to challenge the Sox for the lead. The Rays have flirted with it, however that’s as far as it’s gone and they haven’t been able to get over the hump the past couple weeks. It sort of reminds me of earlier this decade where the Sox would always win when the Yankees won and lost each time the Yanks lost to where they could never make up any ground. The 7,237 fans that show up each night to Tropicana Field when the Rays are in town must be frustrated.
All kidding aside, the baseball players formerly known as the Devil Rays look to be legit and not just a charming early season nuisance. They have a real rotation and stout line up that can put runs on the board. Last week they took the team with the best record and baseball and chewed them up and spit them back to the Windy City, which despite my greatest efforts to ignore, loved watching. I hate the Cubs, but mostly I hate their fans.
Next time I post, I’ll get into all the crappy things I want to bitch and moan about (Ortiz being out, Youk turning into a clubhouse moron). Excited? I know I am. While scoring games in my underwear whilst eating hot wings the past several weeks I’ve scratched some notes on things I’d like to have written about, but have not had the time to do so. So, here’s to getting back on board with my blog a few weeks shy of the All-Star Break. Timing was never my thing…
