Baseball watching
I've never been a baseball follower. I've never been to a game, and I've never watched more than a minute of it at a time on television. A couple of my Internet friends used to talk about it as we all hung out in a chat room, and the world of baseball was completely foreign to me. It seemed slightly interesting, but I figured I was too far behind.But, on a whim, I figured I'd cheer for the Cubs, since they were major underdogs and are from Chicago. I cheer for Chicago (family loyalties, I guess) unless the Bears are playing Green Bay in football or the Bulls are playing the Kings in basketball, so I figured I might as well be consistent. Then, when San Francisco got rid of manager Dusty Baker in a rather mean manner and he signed on with the Cubs, that was another reason to root for Chicago. Oh, and my final reason was that Dusty Baker has a very cute little boy, so cheering for his team can't be bad.
Fast forward to tonight. The Cubs just won their first post-season road game for the first time since 1945. I thought I was cheering for the underdogs and I thought I didn't watch baseball. Well, 'my team' is still winning, and I just intermittently watched two innings of baseball. The sky must be falling.
