There is nothing better than the smell of freshly cut grass and hotdogs. It is the sign that spring is here. Generally speaking, there is a huge lull from after the Super Bowl until March madness. That is generally the time when I really begin to get uber excited about baseball season!!
This year is quite different for me as a fan. I am honestly hard pressed between being super stoked and super bummed all at the same time. I am super stoked because for the first time since '93, I don't have to deal with having one Barry Lamar Bonds. That is a huge relief. For the first time in 6 years, I don't have to feel guilty about loving the Gigantes! I can actually just enjoy watching the Giants reek!
That brings me to the part about being way bummed. This is the first year that it has hit me that I am basically a West version of a Royals fan (I can't believe I just said that). My team is already 50 games under .500 and the season hasn't kicked off yet. The way I see it though is that I can Gigantes tickets whenever I want at rock bottom prices!
Still though, the baseball fan that I am is excited to sit back on a warm summer night with a Mt. Dew watching some baseball with Kruk & Kuip or Miller & Morgan, or anyone for that matter. I can't wait to hear take me out to the ball game and someone saying, "Play ball." It should be awesome to see and it should be an exciting season. I guess since my team is down I will just jump on the anti-Yankeees, Dodgers, Bosox band wagon and ride that baby all the way through the fall classic!!

Just to darken your mood a little bit more, the Giants lost to their AAA team last night 4-3. Owch.
That does hurt quite a bit
