Although, I just got my power back after 5 days and 13 hours from that damned ice storm, (ironic that right now there is freezing drizzle out)... I spent some of that time in the house listening to 2004 ALCS 5 on my mp3 player.<BR/><BR/>It's good to be past the end of the season and into winter, so we're not still agonizing over the baseball season being over. We look ahead.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14809080115678512743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-62598718639671937042008-12-17T05:35:00.000-08:002008-12-17T05:35:00.000-08:00Two words...Fanalytical Baseball (Scoresheet).

I've been waiting a couple of days for Ron Shandler's Baseball Forcaster, it's driving me crazy.accudarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02382053706682702257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-4583138572614549272008-12-16T17:15:00.000-08:002008-12-16T17:15:00.000-08:00I feel the same way, but maybe it's also because n...I feel the same way, but maybe it's also because nothing has happened yet to get me either excited or agitated. In fact, nothing has happened. Period.<BR/><BR/>I hate winter for many reasons, lack of baseball being only one. So I echo the title of your post, but even more pointed, "Is it opening day yet?"Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15720293202890878993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-80145925496556128162008-12-16T15:47:00.000-08:002008-12-16T15:47:00.000-08:00Winning a World Series championship changed many t...<EM>Winning a World Series championship changed many things about the nature of my fandom...</EM><BR/><BR/>Moi aussi.<BR/><BR/>I still comb the papers and the web sites nearly every day during the off-season for the latest Red Sox tidbits but two championships in the last five seasons have dulled my senses, too.<BR/><BR/>I think, in part, the new ownership has made a lot of smart decisions and the front office seems to make all the right moves. I don't find myself saying "Why can't we get players like that?" quite as often.<BR/><BR/>Of course, that doesn't mean that I don't get moody when a losing streak goes longer than two games.FenFanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02348863925130603048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-65832903764177272462008-12-16T15:39:00.000-08:002008-12-16T15:39:00.000-08:00I obsessed over every single game, especially when...<I>I obsessed over every single game, especially when there were stupid managerial decisions.</I><BR/><BR/>Do tell!laura khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524593142290489958noreply@blogger.com
