101 and done

Tomorrow is opening day! Woohoo! Actually... it's opening night, as major league baseball has begun to impliment this crappy idea of having the first game of the season occur in the evening, so that ESPN can cover it without competition from local market broadcasts. Meanwhile, the real opening day is on Monday, when all the other teams begin their seasons. Though I'm not a fan of the night-before opening day game, it's much better than baseball's previous opening day strategy of having two teams play their opening series in Japan so that the game airs at 4am. So, Tomorrow night is the Phillies @ the Braves. More importantly, the Cubs open their season at 6:05pm at the Astros. 101 and done. I'm calling it here (Not that I haven' called for the same thing for the past 26 years, but whatever).

Last night a group of us were playing 'hot seat' on the drive back from Ft. Wayne. It consists of one person asking another person to choose quickly between two words without any explanation. Open interpretation. Today, when I was at the Box eating lunch he gave me another 'hot seat' question that I'm stumped on. Baseball or Music. WOW! I keep trying to figure out how to read into it so that I can pick one over the other, but it's just not happening. I mean music is this amazing art that has the capacity to enhance any situation or circumstance at anytime. Baseball is this pure, beautiful, nostalgic passion in my life. Music is good for anytime but is always changing. Baseball never changes but comes and goes with the seasons of the year. How can I choose? I will end with a short caveat for you(check the definition): Ben Taylor's questions are often nothing but a bunch of thological,philisophical, and metaphysical poppycock.
