Baseball: It's Not Just a River in Egypt

I adore baseball and my hometown O's.
Especially this time of year. [multi-million $$ contracts] The weather teases with hints of warmth and promises of renewal. [hGh]
The trades are mostly done, the rosters set, and the players are reporting to camp. [steroids]
My team has hope, at 0-0 they are equal to the mighty Yankees and dreaded Red Sox. [last place] The Orioles are donning their bright orange ST jerseys and working out the kinks. [Peter Angelos] The Baltimore road jerseys are back. [no salary caps] I pore over the schedule, deciding which games to attend this year. [empty stadium] Football excites me, but baseball warms my heart. Sweet Baseball Tradition! [asterisk] America's Game! [Mitchell Report] Play Ball! [player's strike]

  1. P,

    I got it right away! Pretty smart & sophisticated - but how many people do you think will think of baseball as denial?

    Love,

  2. I'm in denial about the whole sordid mess behind the game. I am hoping to just blithely ignore the crap, along with millions of other baseball fans who just love the game.
