Itchy and scratchy.

I think I need some intervention. I've had basketball on all morning. I'm still not entirely comfortable with my conversion into a casual sports fan. I call myself that with much consternation. I admit that I like sports the same way someone admits liking boy bands, or Barney, or having a fetish for eyebrows with lines shaved in them. You know there are other people like that out there, but you'd never want to admit that you're one of them. I'm an artiste dammit, not a Budweiser-swilling, Cheetos-eating, boxer-short-on-the-recliner-wearing, profanity-screaming-at-the-TV kinda guy. I drink french press coffee and eat fritattas when the game's on.

But really, I'll be content when baseball season starts. I can actually justify my liking of that sport over all others (not saying it's better than others, but just that I like it better). Less ego in baseball, I think.

Dude, surprisingly enough... The Mets are looking kinda good this year.

Baseball is finally back in BKLYN. You'd better get out and go to some Cyclones games d00d.

I had a similar uncomfortable sports-liking experience this football season. I tried to find the LJ post in my calendar for a laugh; our descriptions of that frightening sense of change were quite similar.

If you wont say that baseball is the best sport, then I will. It is.

This was my original statement regarding my relation to sports, from August of 2000. As you can tell, I've been wrestling with the issue for awhile.
