The only day that matters is March 31st...
Opening day baby!!! But until then, if you are a true baseball fan, you are paying attention to the spring training games. You don't take all the wins and losses to heart, but you are definitely making notes. Watching how the daily players are making out. Seeing how they are doing compared to this time last year. In a normal spring training game, if they the core players bat around 2 times that is about right. More than that means they are really looking at something. The teams go really easy on their big starting pitchers. Gotta be careful with those arms until it's D day.
But you still check your phone, when's the game, what's the score. You're making sure your apps are up to date. MLB at bat 2011 baby!!! You are making sure that you are able to have access to all games in case it's a day game and you're going to be at work. If you have MLB at bat you can listen to the game on your phone, better than nothing! If you are in the car, you can listen to it on your phone through the radio! You will not miss a game! If you are somewhere where you can't listen or watch, you can watch the play by plays on your phone so that you can always know what's going on. Everyday you are online looking at the articles. How did this team do, how is this player doing, who's already on the DL, who is going to be off the DL? Who might be in the starting pitching rotation for which team? These are things everyone wants to know and pay attention to.
And during this spring training "season", everyone is watching all teams. You need to know what everyone is doing, what all teams are doing. Who is going to be the biggest threat. What team might trade what player, should your team change up who is playing where. And all of this wondering and sometimes "stress" all leads to excitement and a wonderful baseball season. A season that lasts almost all year. And you love every minute of it. Win or lose! You sit there and watch that game, clapping or screaming. There's always hope. You know what your team is capable of, and you are excited when they do great, or when they do a come from behind win or even more excited, a walk off win (go Yankees!). And you just know when they can't come back but you can still try to wish it out for them.
Catch up on your sleep now. Those late night games when your team plays on the opposit coast can be a bitch. And getting up for work the next day is a little difficult but it has to be done! So here we go, let's get our gear out and rest our voices. Keep the reading going and get ready for some baseball. BATTER UP!

Daytona 500, Elimination Chamber, And getting engaged??? Craziness
This weekend was the official beginning to the Nascar season. The Daytona 500! The biggest race of the year. This is the 10 year anniversary of Dale Sr. passing away due to a crash on the last lap of this very race. Even the people who disliked him as a driver, miss him dearly. The ceremonies before each race are always the same. They have a live concert at the track, pre-race interviews, comparisons to last year. We all check where our drivers are starting, how they did in practice and where they are in the points standing. We all make our predictions based on if it's a road course, a short track, or a long track. People who aren't race fans will never understand us and it's pointless to try and explain it.
This years 500 had a record breaking 16 cautions which took up over a third of the race!!! There were some nasty wrecks. A lot of the field ended the race with a lot less car than they started the race. Or at least they had a lot of tape holding it together. Some cars of top notch drivers were out early. They had a new strategy this year that had a lot of engines over heating due to lack of air getting to the engine and the higher RPM's. Tandem drafting. It's amazing when they all pair up in teams of 2 how much faster those cars can go. But when things go wrong, they go really wrong.
But this years race was definitely interesting. A rookie, who turned 20 the day before, won the Dayton 500. He doesn't even have a full ride! But he did great. He missed victory lane which of course they showed all day today during his interviews. How did he celebrate? He's not old enough to drink??? It was definitely not how a lot of the drivers wanted to start their season but 15 car pile ups will do that. But that's what next Sunday is for!
Now the WWE Elimination Chamber definitely can't be described to someone who hasn't seen it before. All I can say is, I'm so glad Cena won and that CM Punk got his butt whooped! I wish that Santino had pulled out the double Cobra to keep the Tag Team Titles but hey can't have everything. Unfortunately The Miz beat The King. And of course Edge won his chamber match and Christian reappeared and came to the rescue when freaking Del Rio decided to butt in. I still wish HHH had appeared but no such luck. But then tonight on Raw the Dead Man and HHH reappeared!!! So that was awesome. But neither of them said a word. What the hell is that??? If you don't know WWE sign language, you aren't gonna know what the heck they said. We will see.
It was a very eventful weekend including having Monday off. Unfortunately now I have to go back to work :(

Super Bowl Sunday...Pretty Much Says It All
Sports...Sports...Sports. What can I say. There are things that people get so passionate about that when they talk to others they can get so heated very quickly. Some people can't talk about politics, some people can't talk about religion. For others, it's sports. But now you got to break it down to seasons. Some people have teams for every sport. Others just have football and baseball. Some have football and basketball. Some baseball and hockey. Some hockey and golf. You see the numerous possibilites.
Some folks are just watchers of the sports. They may have a spouse or significant other who watches so they watch along. Over time they have a team they like, but they don't get that love for the game or team. The love where they will get into a heated conversation, almost fighting over a disagreement. They won't stay home because the game is on, not answer the phone, turn up the tv. Spend money on tickets and say it's for the love of the game.
Some people love sports that others don't consider a sport. And then get upset trying to explain to people how difficult it is to be a Nascar driver or a Dragster driver. And that it's not as simple as just turning left or going straight down the track. You get irritated easily at other peoples irrogance.
You have your famous rivalaries that will never go away. In baseball it's Yankee's Vs. Redsox. I'm a Yankee's fan. And both sets of fans are very passionate and it can get nasty when they are playing each other. And I mean going to the hospital nasty.
Today is Super Bowl Sunday. People have been planning parties for today. It's D day! What all football fans have been waiting fan. Even if you aren't a fan of either Green Bay or Pittsburgh, you will go to a party and watch the game. Heck, you most likely will go to one even if you don't like football. I don't like either team, but I'm realistic and my teams aren't going anytime soon. But I want Green Bay to beat Pittsburgh badly!
But more than the junk food and loud football game, I'm glad that today got here and that tomorrow is Monday. I'm glad for one HUGE reason. I'm glad because it means football is over. Don't get me wrong. I enjoyed it while it was here. It gave me a way to pass the time. A way to pass the time until BASEBALL SEASON! Heck ya baby!!! Calling all Pitchers and Catchers...Get your butts to Florida...It's time to get business started.
I can't wait for life to get back to normal. Baseball 6 out of 7 nights. Stressfull, crazy nights watching the pitcher struggle or have a spot on night. Talking during the day to other fans about who might win, on your team or their's. Who's hurt and who did great the night before. Who was sucking wind and who needs more time in the bull pen. Is Cano golden glove again this year? Tex can never be taken off 1st base. Jeter needs to have a better year. CC is still #1...And unfortunately the Sox are gonna be competition this year.
But for now...Go Packers!
