Some people (mostly women) think that's weird. I have loved baseball since I was in high school. I don't just love it, I'm consumed with it. Not ALL the time, but when it's World Series week, I can't get enough of it. It doesn't even matter that my team isn't EVER in the running.

This year I'm fascinated with Ivan Rodriguez and Kenny Rogers -- since they use to play for my will-never-make-it-to-the-play-offs team. We thought we had to trade them because 1) they wanted too much money and 2) Kenny had a run-in with a story-hungry photographer. So now all of us die-hard Texas Rangers fans can watch two of our ex-players win the World Series ( I know the Cardinals could actually make it happen - I just doubt it). I hope my girls have a love of sports the way I do. An added bonus, it makes my marriage a happier union on the weekends ;)

So GO Tigers! And until next year Texas Rangers. I will miss Buck, but maybe, just maybe 2007 will be our year!
