I love baseball. I love Diamondbacks baseball.
I get giddy when pitchers and catchers report to spring training, and I look forward to Opening Day every year. I absolutely love watching "my team" on t.v. and especially love going to Chase Field to watch in person.
So, I just sat here on my couch for the last 3 hours watching my favorite baseball team lose their game, and in turn, lose any possibility of making it into the post season and a possible World Series try. I thought for a moment that I might actually shed a tear for the end of another D-Backs baseball season, but I was strong...no tears have been shed.......yet.
You're probably thinking I live a pretty sad life. I mean, I wouldn't blame you for wondering what a 30+ year old woman is doing sitting on her couch, by herself, in the middle of the day, watching a bunch of overgrown kids play a school yard game. I ask myself the same question...often. Especially when the best team (in my opinion) in the National League West goes on a massive losing streak and blows any possibility of another World Series win. And yet I still watch, every day...hopelessly loyal and dedicated...hoping for a miracle. I'm committed to "my team". I'm a fan for life.
So, since there isn't going to be a D-Backs post season or World Series this year, I'll just look forward to February 15, 2009, when pitchers and catchers report to spring training. And you can bet your bottom dollar that I'll be back on my couch on April 6, 2009, at 12:40 p.m., watching the D-Backs season opener against the Colorado Rockies!!! I Love My Diamondbacks!!

I'm so with you on that Tina. I love the Suns too...when they were so close and lost in play-offs last year, Willy and I just stared at the TV with disappointment. I told Willy that I was as sad as when he didn't pass the bar...and I meant it. It was crushing, and here my Dbacks are doing it to me too.
