So, if things go right, and everyone brings a rake, we should have a game this week. There, I said it. If we don't blame the forecasters for getting my hopes up.

Top Five things that convince me that I need to play baseball sooner rather than later:

5. Cleaning the house is not as much fun as clearing the bases

4. In boring work meetings, I find myself thinking about creative ways to throw pitches

3. Real exercise sucks- baseball exercise rules

2. The game on Sunday makes the weekend seem like you accomplished more than got drunk and spent money that you didn't have.

1. I can't stand people who pontificate for hours about the game, and then you ask if they ever played, and it's always, Oh, the coach was an asshole, or Yeah, but then I didn't like competing, or No, but you don't have to play to know about it...Talking about baseball is what old guys and frustrated nerds do. Playing baseball is what real fans do.

PLAY BALLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
