Yes, yes, I do realize that they are still playing baseball...I guess I should be accurate and say that I miss the Nationals.
I especially miss the Nats on the radio.
I have the hockey game on now, but hockey is a game to watch live. (Although in seasons past I have managed to fall into a sort of light sleep with games on the tv or radio, and I "dream" the action. I imagine the game from the vantage point of my seat...the one at MCI, that is. When we were at the Cap Centre I had enough youthful energy to stay awake for an entire hockey game.)
But I'd rather be listening to baseball.
I miss Charlie and Dave and "Bang, zoom!" I miss "A curly W is in the books!"
I even miss the Road Sprinklers Union commercials. (And Vonage. But not the Heineken keg can...that has to be the dumbest ad campaign in the history of radio.)
I used to think that baseball was a ridiculously long season, that games virtually every night was too much.
By June, I was depressed by those Thursday afternoon games, because by the time I got to the car it was the eighth inning.
There's a little two minute audio clip montage of season highlights on the WTOP web site (scroll down, it aired on Oct. 3). Would it be pathetic to admit that I keep playing it?
