Well, the World Series started Tuesday night. The big baseball event so to speak. 162 regular season games, plus playoffs to get to this stage. I love it. A 7-game series for all the marbles. The perfect dessert for baseball fans. It’s the event I wait for all season and yet there is a dread to it as well. Once the series is over, there is no baseball. I seriously go into a “blue funk”, a mild depression for a couple weeks. My routine of watching games, checking stats and standings is abruptly stopped. The days are shorter and there is no baseball. You take the good with the bad. So it is with baseball, so it is with life. But, on the positive side, Spring Training will only a couple months away. It looks like reporting dates will begin on or about February 15th (with most teams still in the TBA category).
I have been listening and watching the Series for 80 years and may I say that the broadcasters are TERRIBLE this year- I can hardly make them out at times because their pronunciation is SO child like. They never seem to come up for breath and there IS A constant BLAB - I can only think that JOE (BUCK) BALL ONE STRIKE ONE is worse. These players are the very best in the world and the announcers are really BAD reallyBAD. Where is Buck Hernandez?
Coach Mike, I agree about the Astros...but agree to disagree about Joe Buck. Something about his commentating makes the midwestern-er in me upset. I too cannot wait for spring training and looking forward to the trip to see baseball back in its glory...plus getting away from the Chicago weather helps. At this point GO BRAVES!
I won’t be cheering for either team. Although I am a life long White Sox Fan, I loved The Mets back in the late 80’s and 90’s. Too many unhappy memories from those days for me to cheer for the Braves. May the best team win!
Another great story Coach Mike. You said spring training starts in February. But I think MLPA is going on strike in December. I may be wrong. But if they are it's going to be a long winter.☹️
