ok, i have to remember not to mention baseball tomorrow

i don't think i've watched a baseball game in years
that whole time i was a giants fan
i might have seen a couple games
in a sports bar
but
i'm not even sure about that

mostly i just listened on the radio
[on the internet]
or followed on twitter

youtube tv fox sports
was like a really fancy technological advancement for me
4D mapping of the swings
strike zone indicators
all that shit with this is where the ball goes with different pitches
that was so so so much fun

and
i thought initially
oh, this'll be fun because i don't know either team
but
i quickly fell for the nats
but
it was so good
back and forth
so well matched, really
i know houston is sad
they are looking for the "reason" they didn't win
but they didn't fuck anything up
they played well
it just wasn't their year, ya know

i'm never gonna be an astros fan again
but will i stay a nats fan?
i seem to have a certain type of team
a certain set of circumstances
or an ethos
so
i mean
realistically
maybe not

maybe every few years it'll change
or
maybe one of the teams
rendon's new team
strasburg's new team
will catch my heartstrings
or
maybe i'll stay and watch soto develop

i've missed baseball


goodnight sweetheart
i love you very much
