Plethora of Baseball

I’m not sure if I can pull it off, but I’m hoping to get a lot of baseball in this weekend.  I don’t mean playing baseball.  It’s been too freaking hot for that, though it is supposed to cool off on Saturday, getting back into the mid to upper 80’s.  No, I mean playing a number of games from my 1975 replay.

I’m on May 6th of the schedule.  I got a couple games in earlier this week.  Well, that’s not quite true.  The first one (Cubs @ Expos) was rained out, so needless to say, that one went pretty quick.  Then on Thursday, I played a Yankees-Orioles game, which I lost 2-0.  The Yankees have now gone 6 games without a home run.  I didn’t think that was possible.

Anyway, today ended up as a short day at TNG, so I came home and started laying out my plan.  After getting a couple things done around the house, including 2 loads of laundry, I’ve managed to play 2 games so far tonight.  First, Pittsburgh beat the Mets 3-0.  Since I had the Mets (that was randomly selected Kevin, so I don’t want to hear about how good the Pirates were then.  I know they were good), that was the second straight game I’d been shut out, which kind of sucked.  However, I’m feeling pretty good now as I led the Indians to a 5-3 win over the Red Sux.

With a little bit of luck, I’ll squeeze in 4 games tomorrow (Saturday) followed by another 3 on Sunday.  So 9 games in 3 days amounts to a near orgy of baseball, particularly when you consider I’m sure I’ll have live games going on TV at the same time.

Outside of that, tomorrow is the normal grocery shopping trip.  I’ll also trim the shrubs out in front of the house and clean the air filters (hopefully before it rains).  Then it’s on to my mini baseball-fest.

Hope your weekend is as relaxing as mine.
