Rockies v. Padres: i almost caught a fly ball

well, ok, maybe i didn't. they look so lovely lofting through the air that i must have dreamt it. i did decide that attending baseball games is my new favorite thing. f'n hebrew national hot dogs, copious amounts of beer, cheering protocol. i freakin love it...i thought they only did the wave at football games?!? no no...baseball is much more exciting, much more dramatic interactions, as if the players on the team were actually players in a theatrical production. their movements as choreographed as a ballet. to watch them move is to witness an intricate dance, a beautiful repercussive display. i love it. i love it all, every detail, every bit of minutia (and if you know me, you know i HATE minutia). p.g. said, "it's all about baseball" and i concur. baseball reflects all the beauty that is missing out of life. and to those that mess with that purity i say, "you ought to be ashamed".
