Whoops, I forgot to blather about baseball in my last post. So, here, have a post that doesn't make any sense.
I've spent time today reading many, many, many various baseball blogs (yes, those are each a different link).
And baseball starts soon. Little more than a month away. And god, I am so happy, this has been a long and miserable off-season which has caused me to do things such as write Yankeeslash, cheer at a random line at a random song because it mentions the Tigers, even though the line is about a football team (and yes,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
americanleaguer, that is your fault), and fail to have an opinion on steroids. (Although, having finally found a copy of Juiced to flip through, I do have an opinion about Jose Canseco being a crazy motherfucker who can't write for shit. Guess what it is.) I want new baseball. I want to apply the things I am learning from Baseball for Dummies. I want to see our old boys back in action and see what our new boys can do.
But I've also been thinking about how I felt after the ALCS, in those few days between it and the World Series. I remember writing somewhere on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
redsox that I wanted to hold on to the moment, that I wanted to live in it for a while before I had to move on to thinking about other things, like the World Series and the offseason and who would leave and who would stay. I just wanted to stay there for a while, at that time after the ALCS, when the memories of beating the Yankees and claiming the pennant were the clearest they'd ever be.
In that vein, I'm feeling a little calmer about waiting for the 2005 season to start. We've got one more month to live in this stasis, in this time when our boys are the World Champions. Things are unchanging right now. Once the season starts it's time to charge forward and see where we are and how our team is gelling and how our scarily injury-riddled pitching rotation is going to hold up and exactly how long before the first Red Sox/Yankees brawl, and to see things evolve and see another season carry forward while we put 2004 away.
But we can hold onto 2004 for another month, and still look forward to the new season. I think I can relax and enjoy that.
Of course, it helps that it's, you know, only a month. Had someone expressed these thoughts to me in December, I would have been like, ". . . but it's so looooong till baseball!" *g*
