Couldn't believe my eyes when I flipped open the morning sports section. Lo and behold, actual Major League Baseball box scores!
Have always found it enjoyable, a great start to my morning. Pour a cup of coffee (or as Ol' 61 likes to call it, jitter juice) and go over the previous day's baseball box scores. Hell, in some cases (West Coast tilts), I'll turn to the internet and recap the action.
Just seems like there's a little bit of normal to it all. And since we've been so ABNORMAL for months now, having baseball to follow again is great. For how long? Well, that remains to be seen.
Gotta say, tho, it was pretty strange watching the Brewers-Cubs game last night from the friendly confines of Chicago's Wrigley Field. No fans, no crowd noise. But hey, they were playing baseball so take the positives where you can.
NFL camps are opening up, which adds to the normal feel. No exhibition/preseason games this year, with is fine with me. Never a big fan of football when you see a bunch of guys who are saying "I played pro ball...you want fries with that?" Always did consider that bogus preseason to be too long. Hell, expand the rosters and taxi squads, give teams a little more leeway on cut-downs and let it go at that.
Speaking of the NFL, I see where the franchise in D.C. will be known as the Washington Football Team. At least until they can decide on a name and logo that all can agree upon.
They missed the boat here.
Should have called it Washington Team Football. Then we could all refer to them as the WTFs. Slap that on the ol' helmet. Or a forehead slap emoji. Either way it pretty much defines what is going on in Washington, and nationally, these days.
High schools are pretty much in a quandary when it comes to the status of fall sports. Some, like golf or cross country, will have no problem getting going. Football, on the other hand, is an issue. Might we see some fall sports pushed to spring, and spring sports to summer? Highly possible. Can't blame school districts for trying to err on the safe side.
