It's been so long since I wrote about baseball. Hardly a word this year, very little last.Sure, I am separated in distance from my team and the city, I am forced to follow on the internet or hope for an Adrian dinger to be replayed on Sportscenter, sandwiched between ten minutes about the Yankees and seven about the Mets.
But if I can't get interested to write aboout this Padre team, a team based on so many of the things I love about baseball...
Okay, so there is no money in it right now. But writing about Padre baseball wasn't about money at first. It was about love for the game, love for my team and love of writing. Have I lost those simply because there was once a check attached to my words and now it is gone?
I have, recently, complained of the loss of my muse. In all my writing endeavors, though principally in my fiction.
Perhaps I shall find her in a seat between the bases, with a beer and a dog.
By the way, the Padres won last night. A 10-1 shellacking of the last place Snakes to avoid a maddening sweep. Luckily for us, the red hot Giants chose the same weekend to cool, or perhaps were cooled due to facing a quality Atlanta team. Two games up, two months to play.
It is gonna be interesting.
