Sleepy Sport

In our heads the season was far from over
so we played a game in late September.
He said, "before the sun sets
can we not take a rest?"
"But we already are, this is baseball remember?"

I don't GET baseball, but, I'd probably look up ever hour or so.

Baseball if more of an "atmosphere" than a full on raging sport. Not a whole lot goes on, but the crowds, the smell of peanuts, the little baseball noises... it's a very inviting feeling *shrugs*...

Andrea Dietrich Date: 6/1/2013 3:20:00 PM I saw what you said to Richard. Yes it used to be called our national pastime. I still prefer it to that horrible football. And it is a great sport for watching one's kids play. Login to Reply Timothy Hicks Date: 6/3/2013 11:48:00 PM Yeah I don't see the appeal in football myself... still to this day the rules greatly confuse me. I can understand people going to an actual game of baseball... but I never understood how people enjoyed watching it on TV...

Andrea Dietrich Date: 6/1/2013 3:19:00 PM hahaha. It sure can seem that way, as I recall from the good old days standing forever in the outfield. Login to Reply

Richard Lamoureux Date: 5/31/2013 7:57:00 AM There does seem to be a lot of resting in baseball. Login to Reply Richard Lamoureux Date: 5/31/2013 7:23:00 PM I watch Tennis myself. Timothy Hicks Date: 5/31/2013 10:07:00 AM It used to be the American sport (now it's football). I don't think baseball is all that exciting, honest, but I do respect that it's much more family oriented than any other sport I can think of.

Richard D Seal Date: 5/31/2013 2:04:00 AM Yes, anything that isn't work is resting lol Login to Reply Timothy Hicks Date: 5/31/2013 10:06:00 AM Haha!... well I worked at a baseball stadium, so I know a lot about the "sleepiness" of it... lol.
