“Very excited. Not so much for the Royals, but I have a fantasy baseball team. So I’m excited to see how some of my players are going to do this year.”
“Not really. The Royals have just not impressed me this year with their off-season moves.”
“Yeah. I’m from Chicago, so watching the Cubs play is a pretty big deal.”
“Yeah. I really like baseball, and I’m a big Dodgers fan. I think a lot of people get excited about it, and I think it’s a healthy interest.”

faceit, Didn't you know that we dream of Oct 11, set high in trees on cold days, wrestle wildlife, spit Ms. Crockers bitter batter, and we are also nocturnal?

holy cow, the middle of the nighters are baseball fans. I knew I wasn't the only one who has trouble sleeping! Me..no, since Steve Jeltz left the team,it's just not the same. He was super in school, but dreaming as a grown up. Hi Steve. Proud of you! Jeez, the arms on that man. And everything else.

Yes, but October 11th is so far away.
But I have to wonder... Why ask this question so far ahead of early firearms deer season for unit 19?

Gives you plenty of time to scout for new stand locations

Real sportsmen don't need rifles; they wrestle the game to the ground and kill it with their bare hands.

Why, is there a major league baseball team anywhere nearby?

Nope. Baseball, Soccer, & Hockey are much too slow and boring to watch. Their fun to play, but I'd only go to the pro versions if I had free tickets and a parking pass. $8.00 for a beer is too high as well. Baseball really lost me during the '94 strike and I realized, I didn't care if they continued to exist. When they have to have contests and scoreboard games to keep people awake, that's a clue that the game itself is lacking on its own.

I think "excited" may be too strong a word; I'm marginally interested in it, but I'm not excited about it. But since there are about 130 too many games in the baseball season, closing day is definitely cause for excitement.

I was once a huge baseball fan, but lost all interest after the '94 strike. I attended a T-Bones game last year and really enjoyed that.

I hate summer in the midwest. I hate mowing. I hate bugs. I hate oppressive heat and humidity. I hate people who wear short/tight clothes who shouldn't. I hate swamp crotch. A couple cold beers and a dog with my family in the cheap seats at Kaufman is one of the few things that makes summer ok, even if the team stinks (and I don't think they will this year).

Royals are tied for first. Enjoy it for a couple of days.
