School is getting in the way of my obsession.

The other night, I watched about 20 minutes of Baseball Tonight.

For the first time this year.

I literally have not watched more than an inning of a single Major League Baseball game so far, and the first month of the season is nearly over. This is an outrage, and it cannot stand.

I blame school. Until this season, I would already be completely obsessed, looking at standings and matchups and knowing who was poised to have a breakout year. This time around, I can hardly even name the starters on ANY team, let alone all of them (yes, I used to be able to do that). But I just haven't had time for it. Which I hate.

I did notice, in those 20 minutes, that Tampa Bay looks really good. All those young kids from their World Series team a couple years ago are... still young kids. But now they're seasoned. More than that, they're exciting. I'd love to see Tampa go far this year, and I have no personal connection at all to Tampa. I just like to see such energy and talent.

Also, the Royals bullpen is terrible. Wait, everyone knew that already. Ugh, what a thing.

Honestly, that's about all I gleaned. Tampa, good; Royals, bad. I'm so ashamed. I want to know more.

Oh, yeah, and the Twins are having a good year so far. So that's fun, I've always had a little soft spot for the Twins, even if they did beat the Braves in 1991 in The Best World Series Ever™.

Sigh. Baseball, I miss you.
