Why Me?

Please allow me to lament for a moment...

I just spent a ton of money over the weekend driving up to Baltimore to attend some baseball games at Camden Yards. However, the results were not appealing. Why is it my teams always lose? Sure they like to tease me every now and again, like the Sonics with Karl, Payton, Kemp, et. al., the Seahawks making it to the Super Bowl, the Mariners winning 116 games, the Huskies getting a #1 seed...all for naught.

The good news, the baseball season is still young and the closest the Ms come to me is New York; too far so I won't be tempted to spend any more money padding the pay roll of opposing teams. The Seahawk, minus losing Brown, made some good moves this off-season with the draft still to come (which they usually do pretty well in). So, there is hope for the fall. Speaking of hope, Jake Locker. Of course, the Hawks running game consists of Alexander (so far), Morris, Duckett, and Jones. Nothing to write home about. The Huskies are still the Huskies. And the Sonics...well the NBA will be dead to me. Maybe Husky Basketball. Lots of guys in the Pac-10 going pro early. An easier conference schedule perhaps?

But then, we are back to the Mariners, with McLaren and Bavasi still running the show. I don't know how much longer I can take it.
