THE MORNING AFTER.
So, my weekend hiatus turned into a week-long hiatus, and I’m not sure I have anything more to say right now except, at least I am able to watch baseball again. TBF and I originally were all “We have NO interest in watching the playoffs, what could you possibly be talking about” and then found ourselves watching with more than casual interest, debating strategy and rules and dumb things said by the commentators. But it’s done through this blase, objective, unemotional filter that feels just plain wrong.
I’ve got half-written posts and notes about things I plan to write about, but a break right about now might be okay, I think. Plus I have two overdue Springsteen pieces and a third will be due at the end of next week.
It is still heartbreakingly sad, but not agonizingly so any more.
I agree with you… I didn’t think I’d be able to watch any of the games, but I did, and I’m actually enjoying them. The Rockies are a fun team to watch, and I think the ALCS series will continue to be a great one. Several times a day it still hits me that “Wow… I cannot believe the Mets are not playing right now” but like you said, it’s not as painful as it was two weeks ago.
