Baseball, the great American past time. While everyone seems to be head over heels about football, I spend my winter waiting for spring training to begin. Actually, thanks to people at work, I realized I’m not the only one. A co-worker of mine is also apathetic towards football while passionate about baseball. It’s a great sport, isn’t it?

Really, though, baseball has increasingly become a big part of my daily routine. I love watching the Yanks play and do my best to make sure I watch at least part of every single game. Thank god I work with TV’s at work. This Monday, I actually managed to get the game on one tiny 15 inch LCD. It wasn’t much, but it was good enough, especially with the chaotic nature of Memorial Day shopping. Those crazy sales seekers.

While I don’t know enough people to ever really get a chance to play baseball, Joe and I have a catch pretty often in the warmer months. However, once again this year, I’m fighting some resulting tendonitis in my right elbow (throwing arm). Today I tried to change my grip on the ball and it seemed to help. While I can’t use the grip to throw any line drive rockets and I still need to figure out how to get more distance out of it, I felt almost no pain on routine throws. I didn’t talk much today because I was so focused on the grip and the pain and monitoring any twinges in the elbow. Pain management? From me?! Yep. Honestly, after throwing a good 100 - 150 balls yesterday with my elbow throbbing, I thought I should do something about it instead of trying to suck up the pain.

And, while I don’t have any real transition to inform you of this, I’ve been given news posting privileges on Neowin meaning I get to help out on the front page now, too. I’ve been bitching for these rights for a while (gmods don’t get access to the posting backend), but I finally got it. I always thought journalism may be something I would enjoy, so this is a great way to test out that hunch.
