HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THE RAIN?




No, I do not reside in Seattle, but I am in New England. Here's my deal; I don't complain about weather nearly as much as most New Englanders. The weather sucks to put it politely. It's not shocking to wake up in late April and see a little snow coming down. This is another reason why it can suck to be a Red Sox fan. Opening day is an awesome time in the baseball season and is nearly as exciting as the World Series itself. I, unlike many optimistic Boston fans, prepare myself mentally for opening day. I know that there is around a 78% chance that Boston, unless away from home, will not actually open on opening day and it's starting to get slightly irratating. "Hey dude, the Red Sox open up on Monday and I can't WAIT!" says intoxicated and overly excited buddy the weekend before opening day. That's not me. I hate setting myself up for disappointment. Hyping myself up for an actual baseball game on the date scheduled for opening day is not on my agenda. I hype myself up for the day after the scheduled opening day and even that's risky. This year proved me right once again but, nevertheless, leaves an awkward taste in my mouth. "Opening Day" means: "opening day?.....maybe?.....we don't really know yet." I'm tired of it!
