Just Sitting Around

I'm sitting here once again wondering why I didn't receive any phone calls to sub, so I figure I'll blog for a little bit. At this point, I'm sitting here doing laundry, blogging and listening to the audio of Game 3 of the 1968 World Series between the St. Louis Cardinals and Detroit Tigers. Yes, I know the outcome, but its fun to listen to how games were called/announced by the great radio announcers of the time. People like Jack Buck, Ernie Harwell, Pee Wee Reese calling the action of Bob Gibson striking out 17 Tigers in game 1, Lou Brock leading off in the same batting order as the Yankee great Roger Maris. It is a fun way to listen to baseball and see how the game has changed or evolved. The announcing was simpler then, no computer/tv graphics like we see on FOX, ESPN or whatever network you watch your games on. Later I will probably watch a little Spring Training action, but that all depends on what I've got going on.
The other thing I might have to consider doing this morning to buy some time is read Tommy Lasorda's MLBlog to see what insights he'll present this time. He always has some great stories to tell and tells them wisely and simply for everyone to enjoy, regardless of age and baseball playing experience. Besides that, I might check out some of the other blogs to see what insights celebrities and people like you and me have about the great game of baseball. I should also check ESPN.com to see if my fantasy baseball team has been selected yet or not. In the meantime, I'm gonna go check my laundry. I should be back later.
