Traditional roles and the dumb old Braves

I think it's pretty sad when I would rather spend my Saturday night sitting at home watching the Braves lose than doing anything else. I told everyone that I talked to that I wasn't leaving my apartment until the Braves game was over even though they were down 6-3. Then, when they ended up losing the game, I was so upset I didn't want to go anywhere after that either.
While I was watching the game, Gabe came over and was watching with me. I was educating him on baseball, the rules of the game, the players, ect. He commented that traditionally women tend to get upset over men's constant wanting to watch sports.

Clearly this is not the case with me. I would go so far to say that I am as big of a fan of the Braves as ANYONE and that I know just as much about baseball itself and specifically Atlanta to rival any guy. I am not in the least bit ashamed of it, but I do think that I have gone a little bit crazy lately. As we all know, and people can rub this in my face, the Braves are not doing so hot this year. This is a source of great pain for me. I get so riled up during the games that I have to stop and tell myself that nothing is going to be accomplished by my yelling at the TV and at the players. Ridic. They can't hear me, nor do they probably care. BUT DANG IT....WHY CAN'T THEY JUST WIN!?

I don't care who you are though, there is something so hot about a sweaty baseball player! Oh, so hot...! My current favorite is the catcher, Brian McCann (who SHOULD be headed for the All-Star game). Dang, that boy is great. Take a look...

Well, I think so. Stefani was watching a game with me a few weeks ago and upon seeing him for the FIRST time ever, she made the following comment: "Wow! He has gained some weight!" That has nothing to do with anything, but I just about died laughing because of it. I am going to two games in a few weeks with my dad and brother as a last little vacation before my brother heads off on his mission. I would die happy if I could meet Brian McCann, or anyone for that matter. I will do whatever it takes.

Wish me luck.

My life may come to an end if the Braves don't make the playoffs. I back up Kim's statements 100%. She knows the Braves better than anyone I know.
