Guess What?! Chicken butt!

So according to the New York Times homepage professional baseball has begun a new season. Color me surprised. I guess that would explain the recent glut of opinion pieces about baseball. But honestly, baseball... such a stupid sport.

Logistically, Baseball is completely screwy. Here you have a sport where at any one moment, only 10 players are on an incredibly large field. And at any one moment, perhaps two of them are actually doing anything of interest.

What would otherwise be a multi-purpose (soccer, lacrosse, frisbee, picnic) field is broken up by a large dirt ring centered on a raised pile of dirt. Considering the shortage of field space in the city, the way a baseball field is constructed and used seems to me to be incredibly devilish.

Also, the Rutgers women's basketball team is in the championship game tomorrow.

Anniversary Number Two

Last weekend, Nelly and I celebrated the completion of our second year together! That's right, two whole years! You can't beat that with a stick!

Once More, It Begins

Spring is officially here and it's brought with it some very nice weather. Today, Nelly and I made our way down to Prospect Park in Brooklyn for the open tryout/practice/scrimmage of Crafty (the ultimate frisbee team we played on last year). It wasn't the most grueling practice, nor was it very practice-y. But we had really good turnout and it's exciting to know that there's so much interest in coed ultimate in the city.

It's also great to get out and play again. I had some good moments and some not so good moments. Overall, it was a really great day and I am really excited to play ultimate again.
