i think aging has made me a lot less embarrassed about how my baseball team plays. maturing into the start of my senior years has really tempered a lot that for me.
i'd like to see them do well every year, but i don't live and die with each game like i used to do.
when i was in my mid-20s, i had a bad breakup with a girl. i had a tough time letting go of her for a few months after the breakup. one friday night on a whim, i called 411 to see if i could get her phone number as i thought perhaps calling her and talking things out would bring whatever closure i was missing. got her number, wrote it down, hung up the phone, and it was like this massive cloud just disappeared from my soul. i never called her and threw away her number a couple of days later. whatever it was i needed was gone. i kinda feel the same way about my sports teams now. both the angels and the kings have won championships in my lifetime and i'm satisfied. would love to see more, but that cloud is gone from my life and i'm content.
