We're into the second month of the MLB season and I have yet to get into fan mode. Partly this is due to the absence of Barry Bonds from the Giants line-up. Mostly. But we like to have the game playing on the TV in the background no matter who is starting.
To date, however, we have exhibited a certain amount of lackadaisicalness. Case in point. I surfed over to the ESPN MLB scoreboard today to find out the start time of the Giants-Pirates game. Surprise, surprise. Ninth inning, Giants up 8 to 3, Pirates batting with 2 outs. I was able to watch one walk, one change of pitchers, one single, and the final out. Total time invested: less than 10 minutes (and one commercial break - ugh). (recap)
