53 days

I wish that I liked baseball to pass the time but it’s such a boring sport. Soccer?
I played baseball growing up then softball in the Marines so it’s a great sport for me to pass the time. Being an Astro fan helps. There are a lot of nuances, strategies and star players that make it fun to watch. Every pitch is basically a battle. I live in Austin which is the home of the Astros AAA minor league team and go watch them play as often as I can. This weekend got to see Altuve in his rehab stint. It’s fun to watch the young guys battle their way up.

'til the first preseason game. Not bad. Only one more pay day for me between now and then, it's summer too and they say time flies when you're having fun so those 53 days should disappear fairly rapidly. Joy.

And only 37 days until TC starts. :D

Soon to be less than a month.

Women's World Cup Soccer is on. It really is not as bad as many say it is. Far better than Golf.
USA plays the 20th for 1st place in their group, and on the 24th if they beat Sweden. They already qualified for the knockout round, which is the final 16.

Same for baseball. I like it, but just don't sit and watch every game, or a full game. Just a few innings here and there.
Use to watch a lot. But just can't anymore.

ooooh….let the count down begin....and this also means that July is aroud the corner. no football and the forum tempers are about to blow up.....until training camp..
 
The CFLs on now, it ain’t great, but it’s football.

Fun fact, Lucky Whitehead plays for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
Is he any good,and/or, is his dog BLITZ on the sidelines barking out woofs of encouragements to him?

I just briefly watched the blue bombers game, and I will say he looked pretty fast. He was able to blow the top off the defence on one play but the ball was just slightly overthrown. He finished with 1 rec for 3 yards and 1 rush for 4 yards, nothing earth shattering, but I'll be keeping and eye on him.

No sign of BLITZ :thumbdown:
 
I dont get excited until a few days away from the regular season kickoff.
 
It will come soon enough, enjoy your Summer! Go fishing, diving, take the family on a road trip or something. Some of you will be complaining about the cold weather, so go outdoors and take it in while you can :cool:
