how october means more

anyone who believes that baseball doesn't keep a strong fabric on our nation and our culture, well, they'll never get how someone like me can watch all 18 innings of the astros-braves game 4, how my stomach went up and down with each runner in scoring position, how to sit in awe as a 43-year-old pitcher threw three scoreless innings on two days rest, how just one mistake could mean everything, how one mistake did, and how i could get a little emotional for a game where i couldn't give two shits about either team playing.

and how my heart jumped as the astros players jumped at home plate waiting for their homerun hero run towards them.

and that's just one argument why october may be the best month in sports.

(although ask me that again in march).

ok, but how do you feel about Arrested Development not being shown tonight because of game 5 Yanks-Angels? Not that I won't be watching, but oooh I need my Bob Loblaw.

October's good. But I'm kinda partial to that "Holy shit, nana's gonna go ahead of me in the pool if new mexico st. beats loyola marymount" feeling that March offers.

But I guess I'm just shallow like that.
