sorry, my answer is none of the above...
I'm loving the pennant races in baseball this year...watching the mighty Yanks grow shaky as the RedSox gear up and kick some ass...watching the Atlanta Braves go from a team that even the most adament Braves fan would admit that they would be lucky to play .500 ball take off for their 13th consecutive division title....watching Bonds chase the 700 home run mark and the all time record for walks in a season because everyone is afraid to pitch to him....watching the absolutely terrible Tigers gain a little respectibility and outperforming way beyond expectations...watching Ichiro Suzuki chase George Sissler's single season hits record despite being on a team that has one of the worst records in baseball...also gotta love that young Cleveland team that doesn't understand they aren't supposed to be playing a good as they are this year...
the poetic side of me just loves the game of baseball and despite Bud Selig raping he shit out of the game and fucking the Montreal fans...I just can't bring myself to hate the game that is one big chess match....a game that's not meant for the short attention span crowd...the poetry in motion of Andruw Jones diving to rob yet another hitter of a basehit...watching Jim Edmonds defy gravity and get to balls no one else can and making it look easy...watching the amazing stroke of Barry Bonds...I have a passion for this game many will never understand...depite getting kicked in the teeth by labor strains and watching billionaire owners haggle with millionaire players...I just love this fucking game...
