This is how I now actually Enjoy baseball... Its fun to go with my kid about 5 times a year. I might be a sadist, as I actually like the up and down and getting angry when they do stupid crap. The Emotion makes it fun for meI think this year, I finally just stepped back and realized I have no control over it. There are enough crappy things going on in the world these days. Just gonna' enjoy baseball. And NO that doesn't mean I'm ok with not winning the whole damn thing. I just grew tired of my own whining and negativity. It's entertainment, hopefully they shock us and make a deep playoff run. I understand why people assume the worst, I've been guilty of it, often. Just a waste of energy. Maybe I just appreciate things more these days.
Are they going to piss me off? Often. But I'm just not gonna' live in that "everything sucks" mode. I have enough friends who already do that.
