3 days without real baseball? Fine, I'll watch the HR derby. But i'm muting it on principle.

Maybe today you people will understand my rant more. Today is the sports deadzone. I'm suffering.

Today is the worst sports day of the year. No baseball. No meaningful sports of any other kind. And ESPN stroking it's own ego for hours.

It's bad... but it's not February.

I mean, this is only one day, and figure skating isn't involved.

Rant still approved, though.

There's at least hockey and college basketball in February.

Today? Arena football? MLS? The NBA summer league?

I know this is very subjective, but for me, hockey and college basketball are to baseball and football as, say, Domino's is to the Black Thorn.

Yeah, but you're still getting some pizza. Today the sports world is giving us dog crap wrapped in a tortilla. Plus the ESPY's (I can't come up with a bad enough analogy there).

You can catch Nick Stavinoha in the AAA all-star game on the deuce. No Chris Berman this time either.
