Jonesing for Baseball

You would think that being in the midst of March Madness, I wouldn't have the need for any other sport in my life. It would seem as though with the NBA in full throttle and the tournament ratcheting up, I'd be perfectly content in my sport bubble. Not so. With the changing of the season out comes my true obsession... the greatest sport ever invented...
Baseball
And so the endless quest for a Texas Rangers World Series continues...Baseball gets me more excited about the start of its season than any other sport, by the end of Spring Training I am chomping at the bit to get the season started. And yes, as far as baseball goes I do consider myself a stat geek... a Moneyball guy thru and thru.
The Rangers are an interesting team this year, still pretty young but with an eclectic group of veterans thrown in that will either sink the ship or guide it into the playoffs. The pitching will be much improved, and I really like what I am seeing with new GM John Daniels. So far he does not seem to be intimidated or influnced by the baseball Naz... er... I mean Buck Showalter. HE is getting guys in here who get on base consistently, and get strikeouts. Two gold standards from the school of Moneyball.

Wresltemania 22 is this sunday... you can bet thats where I will be from 6-10 at night... enjoying the Super Bowl of fake sports.

The more and more I read deadspin.com, the more I am convinced I am on to something truly great. Ive gotten multiple friends hooked on it, I suggest you give it a shot of you havent already. Sports without the filter is a beautiful thing indeed.
