How Did We Live Before the Internet?

Whoa! That was awful. The FanDome went dark as good old Time Warner went down for 40 hours. It was terrible! The Fan didn't know how much money he had or what was going on in the world. And worst of all, there was a 40 hour blackout of baseball news. Egads, that was the pits!

Yeah, yeah, the Fan could have gone and turned the television on and turned to ESPN or something. But who wants to wait 35 minutes to get through college basketball and the NBA and NHL? And those nice, colorful guys and gals who read the headlines don't always say who got released and who got sent down to the minors.

Shaking vehemently and shivering at the frozen ordeal just lived through. It might be better to lose water or something. The Fan can stand his own smell but to go without baseball news? To go 40 hours without being able to look at a box score?

And this poor site. It was lonely and dark. There was nobody home to write semi-meaningful drivel that a few dozen of you read now and then. But it was probably all good in the end. We are just on a holding pattern until Opening Day Sunday. Is it Sunday!? Holy crap! Call the Fan, Rip Van Winkle!

Never mind the Fan. He's just drinking in a long, on-line drink of water to parch his dry and dusty throat. Whew! Glad that's over.
