I need a new hobby

[Nevermore]

I've watched just about every game this season.  But yesterday, I went to the movies to see Wonder Woman.  What a great movie that was. When the film was over, I checked Facebook on my phone to see what I thought I would normally see. Lo and behold!  The Orioles had actually won. I 'll be watching the Orioles this afternoon.

Fishing, it's like the polar opposite of baseball. Nearest thing I have in my life to Zen Buddhism. Been meaning to take up fly fishing at some point, which I have never done.

I like fishing alright. I'm not that good at it but it;s fun. Fishing to me is me and my cousins all getting together from all over PA and VA. Drinking beer, having fun, eating good food that Keithy cooks up, sitting around the fire telling tall tales. Family.

And the Orioles immediately respond with a win.

Woo hoo. 

It's going to take a bunch more of those for Frank to start feeling better.

2-0 since this thread was started.

Excruciating loss tonight.

That was disappointing.

I think I need to take a short break from watching the O's at this point.  Gotta recharge before taking more punishment (likely).

It's been really tough.

My wife and I several times have checked the weather forecast on our iPhones simultaneously and have gotten different forecasts, even though we're 20 feet apart. Here in Washington DC, it looks like the rain will stop at around 8 PM.

It sounds like somebody is engaging in a long-lost hobby. )

I watched every minute of Sunday's game, then attended last night's game, so yeah, my old hobby is dominating my life.    But it's making me happy at the moment, so it's all good.

Honestly, I can't wait for this season to end.   This month has sucked.   They're inventing a different way to lose every night.   I almost wish they hadn't had that 7 game winning streak to get my hopes up.

[allquixotic]

They just refuse to produce offensively and pitch decently well on the same night, for whatever reason, while other clubs don't have that problem as often.

I've had the same feeling at times. But that streak was a lot of fun while it lasted. I kept telling myself that it was just an aberration, that they'd fall back to earth and never make the postseason, but I was tough sell. And I wasn't at all prepared for the freefall and giant thud that followed.

That streak ratcheted up both the pleasure and the frustration of the 2017 season. I don't know how to weigh one against the other.

The best thing I can say about this Baseball season is that the Ravens and the Terps are a nice distraction.

And the FO has a ton of work to do this off season.
