Here in about 2 weeks begins the very low point of the sports season. My favorite sports are Football, Baseball and Soccer in that order and until spring training starts, I’m stuck with baseketball and hockey. The NBA just blows as do the Blue Jackets. I can keep an interest in watching the Buckeye’s play some bball especially when they’re winning, but overall its the worst time of the season for any sports fan. (Ever wonder why SI does the swimsuit issue in February)
So that being said, I am really pumped for baseball season to start. Or at least I should say I was. Being raised in Southern California I grew up as a Dodger fan but moving to southeast Ohio I picked up the Reds as my new team. Recently the Reds came out and announced that they decided to fire their GM. Now. Basically a month before training starts and at a time when there are practically no GMs left to take up a vacant position (at least no GMs worth a damn). So, in my opinion this upcoming baseball season is already down the toilet. Now I know I still have the Dodgers and Fantasy baseball to get hyped up for, but realizing that you’re #1 team is already done for is not something I like to dwell on. The hype and expectation is what gets me through this lull in sports. Lets hope the Buckeye’s keep winning through March.
