BASEBALL!

[foxyshaman]

I was able to watch the game on Tuesday between the Tigers and Angels. I was able to watch both Verlander and Haran pitch. Both are quite astounding. It was quite the game. Great defense, but outstanding pitching. It was one of those games that had me mesmerized by the technical skill of both men. Haren was a freaking machine!! I could tell by the 8th that Verlander should have not gone back out, his arm was tired and probably quite sore. Then he got ejected. I don't get to watch the Tigers very often, and the Angels only somewhat more often.

I am enjoying looking for the little stars on the backs of the jerseys. I saw some of the players from the Angels that I quite enjoy with little stars. Yeah!!!

You know I am pulling for Buster. I wonder, philosophically, what it is that makes a "star" fall? What is it in their life "trajectory" that creates such a short flame. Not that I want that for Buster, but we don't know what it will be like for him. Young or not, still it has to be one of the ultimate heartbreaks for athletes that train so hard and so long to get where they are and then *poof*. It makes this fox curious.
