Baseball has started again...that time of year I look forward to. Where the grass is green, sun is high above, and my favorite player is in right field, hopefully able to catch a fly ball or two.
But this year is different. Right now, my Red Sox are 0-6. Right now, my Angels are fairing better, with 3-3, but not stellar considering they have only played 6 games... It occurred to me today, as I watched another game for Red Sox, and another loss, maybe I shouldn't be watching...Maybe because I am watching, my teams are suffering...all that baseball superstition is, yes, superstition, but none the less, when you want your teams to win, you will try anything to help, right?
So, I have decided that tomorrow, during both of my teams Opening Day at Fenway and Angels Stadiums, I will not watch. I wouldn't want to risk having them lose on home turf, opening day. This will be hard, but it goes without saying, as a fan, I do what I can to support my teams...no listening to the game, checking the score until the games are over, nothing...it will be a Red Sox/Angels hiatus of sorts...
The saddest thing, truly the saddest, is that I won't be able to watch Torii in right field...that is the hardest part of all...but hopefully it will help with the much needed team mojo!!
