spring training

Category: dribblings

I’ve had some days off and some drugs (for my back nerve that’s being a shit) and ESPN and MLB Network have shown a handful of spring training games. Normally, I’d think watching spring training games to be boring. Mostly because it doesn’t count, and also because they play the 2nd  and 3rd strings. It’s like watching minor league ball. Which, I enjoy, but I’d rather watch it live and not on TV.

If you’re on drugs (and even if you’re not, I guess) watching spring training games is like watching The Bad News Bears play The Bad News Bears.

Also, because I’m a nerd, I was watching an Angels game (I forget who they were playing (read: “playing”) at the time.) streaming on the computer (MLB.TV) and the commentators? No idea. One guy was a retired umpire and the other guy was, I dunno, a janitor they grabbed at the last minute? Lots of pauses. Is what I’m saying. And that’s not a bad thing, really. I think the commentators talk too much anyway, but since I was streaming this on the computer I kept thinking I had lost the audio. d’oh!
