All About Baseball

Because I like hockey a lot of people assume that I watch all sports. For the most part that is not true. I do enjoy watching the Olympics and on occasion tennis or some other sport in the playoffs. But I have never really gotten into baseball, or at least not until this year. The MLB playoffs started a week ago and I watched at least a couple innings of all 4 match-ups in round 1. Why this year?


It is at least partially because the Colorado Rockies made it to the playoffs this year for the first time since 1995 and only the second time in their history. It is about all anyone in Denver is talking about and it is exciting to see this team that no one believed in succeed. But why I am watching every other series as well or why did I stay up last Saturday night to see if the Rockies would pull off the 1st round sweep? Or why I am watching the game now rather than finishing my BSF (which I know means I will be up late to get it done)? I am not sure why I am watching all this baseball but I can appreciate the ability to multi-task during a baseball game and still have a good idea of what is going on. I have tried many times during a hockey game but for the most part with hockey I am either watching it or it is on in the background. But tonight I have learned that I cannot do BSF and watch a baseball game. For whatever the reason, I am enjoying watch the Rockies this year. Who knows, maybe I will become a football fan? But don't hold your breath on that one and for now...

GO ROCKIES!!
