Baseball Season

Baseball season began with the arrival of April and it's weird to not be able to watch the games. Admittedly I have not been an avid fan even when I was in the US, but, over the years, a few dear folks have fostered my appreciation for the sport (Thanks you Mike, Ben, and Sarah Jane!). I was really getting into it by the end of last season and now here I am, stranded in my Giants' hat, selectively/covertly wearing orange so as to not offend anyone in the Republic, and forced to get my baseball updates from the internet.

The Giants won last night and, in preparation for facing the Dodgers, I am wearing my lid to get the spirit going. The game tomorrow is at 12:55 PST (20:55 in Ireland) so I might try to be on the internet before I go to bed to at least get the live updates. There's probably some way to hear the games. I might look into it. Of course the night games all happen at 2-6 am Irish time and I doubt I will stay up for those.

Perhaps once I have finished my paper and have a bit more space in my head I can figure out how to proceed in getting my baseball fix.
