Long Time No See

Indeed April is here. The weather is warmer, the days are longer and I have returned to my night job. Or maybe, my addiction/bad habit/obsession. I call it catching up with an old friend. Nice of you to finally show up,  Boston Red Sox, it's been a long time, no see. 

You look a little different. Must be that new manager you're wearing. Or maybe you lost some dead weight. Ah, no, don't thank me, didn't say you looked BETTER. Actually, after spending a little time with you now, it's all very familiar. Losing out of the gate, dramas, injuries, issues with the rotation, issues with the bullpen.

Yea, we've been down this road so many times before. Through most of my life now. Two-thirds of it, actually. That makes ME sound old? Seriously dude, you've been living in the same house for 100 years and you're shouting it from the roof tops. 

Though we've had our ups and downs during the years,  I am happy to see you though, really, I am. Just try and stick around till winter starts, will you?
