Getting Ready For Opening Day

I’m finally starting to get excited about baseball again. A-Rod, A-Roid and his circus show definitely put a damper in it for me. I didn’t want to admit it, but you can see the frequency of my posting definitely came to a halt after this second “admission of guilt.” Reading the Joe Torre book, “The Yankee Years” didn’t help much either.

But while watching the Yankee game tonight with the Yanks demolishing the Red Sox (yes, I know it’s only spring training and scores don’t count – but I’ll take any victory over the Sox), I started to get excited about the game again. Seeing the players on the field, even if it wasn’t the new or the old stadium, brought that good feeling back. It’s nice to see the names that I recognize playing again. I love watching players like Brett Gardner fighting for a spot in the big leagues. And seeing future all star Austin Jackson blasting a grand slam really put it all back in focus.

I can’t wait for the season to start!
