One of the Guys...

This past Saturday I spent 4 and 1/2 hours in the basement of a Knights of Columbus with 8 men.

I had the pleasure of being dragged by my father to his fantasy baseball league draft. Apparently I bring my uncle and him good luck. I made an appearance at a draft 2 years ago...at least it was at a nice restaurant and there was another woman there to help ease the pain.

I did not think it was possible for one brain to contain so many useless facts about EVERY American sport. Baseball, basketball, football...could you imagine? All that time and effort that is put in to knowing this information. I mean, I can't imagine these men apply it to their careers. Well. Except for one in attendance who was a sports journalist- and easy on the eyes I might add. But still all that time and energy could be put into something else like learning a new language or trying to solve the financial crisis.

Well, I guess the saying's right- boys will be boys.

But seriously. More than 4 hours of listening to childish insults, fat jokes, racial slurs, and arguments over people I didn't know and didn't care to find out. There was a comment about Eva Longoria but I don't I should repeat it here...the Blogspot people might shut me down. Eva, let's just say you have some passionate male fans.

The highlight of the day: I got to pull names out of a hat which determined the divisions each team was in. Woo frickin' Hoo. However, I do believe there is a lesson to be learned (or is it learnt? 14 years of school and I still have poor grammar skills). If I gain half of this sports knowledge that these guys have then maybe it would provide as good conversation with a really cute (straight) guy I happen to meet. A way to a man's heart is not through is stomach but through ESPN knowledge. hmm. We'll have to let that one sit, see how it feels.

Well kiddies, that's it for me. By writing this post I have delayed writing a paper. Oh yeah my priorities are totally straight. Oye. Remember procrastinating is never a good thing and that the first Major League All-Star game was played on July 6, 1933 (the American League won).

Your Baseball Aficionado,
