24 Hours Later

Yesterday the Reds lost the NLDS after being up two games with three games to play at home. They were swept at home by the Giants.

 

Yesterday, I turned off the tv. I didn't want to watch baseball. Or read about baseball. I didn't want to watch the MLB channel, or read the Reds website or Redleg Nation. I thought I would just take a break for awhile.

 

It's hard to put so much mental energy into something and spend so much time watching a team to have them collapse. Unless you are a sports fan especially a baseball fan, you will not understand this. Nor do I understand other's obsessions.

 

I did end up watching some baseball yesterday though. I did read Redleg Nation and I have been around the blogophere today reading about the Reds. Just 24 hours later I have the tv on getting ready to watch the Orioles vs. Yankees and then the Nats vs. Cardinals later. I'm just sad that my Reds are out of the race and I'm sad I won't get to watch them every day. I will miss them. But I am okay.

 

Until April.....

 

 

I may just lose it though if the Cardinals keep winning. ;)
