If there’s one thing that Im sure of in this world, it’s that Limp Ditka loved tonight’s battle of the Sox

Just the other morning I had breakfast at Tracy Rocker's house, his momma brought out 15 flapjacks. He said "Momma take back 5 of them flapjacks I gotta stay huuuuungry for the Crimson Tide"

Other than fitting games into a tighter broadcast window, I don't get the obsession with two hour games.

I enjoy my time at the ballpark.  If a night game game ended at 9:15, I'd somehow feel cheated.  If it runs long, fans always have the option to leave.

When I was a kid, I used to always beg my parents to buy tickets for double headers.  I mean, these games had to always be sell outs, who wouldn't want to stick around for TWO FULL GAMES OF BASEBALL for the price of one!  My father had a very difficult time explaining to me that it's tough to fit that much time out of one's day to get to the ball park.  Lunacy I said, where else would I want to be on a midsummer day as a 13 year old.  I think I went to exactly one double header in my life, with my dad, cousin and grandfather, and by the 5th inning of game 2 only me and my grandfather had any interest of being there any longer.

As an adult now, not quite Eephus aged, but damn sure getting close, I see no reason to ever go to a double header, my family, work, and home obligations do not fit this in at all.  I'm not obsessed with a 2 hour game, but I wish games were all around 2.5 hours, not closer to 3 hours are they seem to be now.  162 games, 2.5 hours per game that's nearly 17 days worth of baseball played, which is a lot.  And that does not factor in the 30-45 minutes to and from the park, so for a 7:00 p.m. game, I have to be out of my house by 5:30ish and I don't get home till nearly 10:30 or 11:00p.m....and well, I work so I'm not usually home by 5:30 and I'm usually up at 5:00 a.m.

And of course none of this takes into account the fact my children have had activities every single damn day except some Fridays and Sundays basically year round....well, until they are out of the house.  As big a baseball fan I am, shorter regular season games are appreciated.
