Yesterday I watched the Red Sox-Yankees game with my grandmother. I haven't seriously watched baseball in a long time - my attention span finally gave out, plus I probably burned myself out on it a little. I was reading some of my old entries last night, some of them are pretty intense. While baseball had my attention, it had ALL my attention, and some of the teams I followed (of COURSE I followed more than one at a time, see above in re: attention span) were absolutely insane and exhausting. I'm not sure how I didn't lose my damn mind. Actually, I think I did a few times.

But anyway, I still get game score alerts for my teams, and since my grandmother has become an ardent Red Sox fan in the last couple of years, watching a game with her is a lot of fun. Except I still don't pay much attention overall, and you know what? Baseball may still be kind of static in my head, but it's moved on.

A lot of guys are in the wrong damn uniforms these days. The Yankees need to stop signing/trading for players I still love, what the hell. Curtis Granderson got a homerun yesterday and I couldn't decide whether to cheer or swear. And I see you in those pinstripes, Lance Berkman, don't you think for a second that you can hide.

But anyway. Seeing some familiar faces got me all nostalgic, and I ended up spending entirely too much time reading a slew of entries from some certain old RP journals. (Hey, americanleaguer, did we ever talk about this in any depth? It seems like we should have, but I can't remember!) So out of curiosity, I Googled Bondo.

And I . . . I really picked the right day to do that.

When potential free agent Jeremy Bonderman was asked if he feels he'll be back, he replied "honestly, probably not."

Brandon Inge hopes Jeremy Bonderman won't call it a career. (I see Inge is still the go-to guy for a few quotes. Heh.)

This is probably old news to everyone else, but I am WTFing. Jeremy Bonderman, if you end up in pinstripes, I am going to be so mad at you.

:(

I think I might be sadder about possibly losing Bondo than possibly losing Inge.

I do think if he goes anywhere, it might be Seattle or San Diego. At least, I hope.

I did that recently and got all nostalgic too. Even over wanky nutjob Huston.

Bondo was the player who hooked me into the Tigers even before fake!world sprang into being. Change is BAD okay. Obviously he should stay in Detroit forever. I'll try to actually watch next year if he does! Maybe.

Oh, god. Some of our shenanigans, dude, I don't even know.

Obviously! He can't leave! We watched him grow up here! :(

Yeah. I didn't develop a healthy sense of shame about some of it until, like, yeeeears after the fact.

It's okay! Learning and growing as an RPer is an ongoing process. Even the most ridiculous shit we came up with is still better than some of the stuff I RPed in high school.

If I ever met Mike Piazza, though, I would just start apologizing and he would have no idea why. And I would never tell him.
