You may not realize this, but it's baseball season. Sure, you saw Billy Crystal make contact during his one-day contract with our beloved (?) Yankees. But the guys down in Florida aren't the only ones in spring training.
I'm proud to announce that Brian has joined the real world this year. Not only is he participating in a fantasy baseball league, he's also playing in a real person league here in SF. Saturday was a particularly busy schedule that went something like this:
6:30 a.m. - Brian wakes up earlier than he ever has in his life
6:45 a.m. - Brian calls brother, Tim, and thoroughly annoys sister-in-law, Nicole, for the next three hours.
7:00 a.m. - Fantasy baseball draft begins (after weeks of intense research).
8:15 a.m. - The draft drags on. Luckily for Brian's safety, Katie is still sleeping.
9:05 a.m. - Katie rises after a peaceful 10-hour rest. Brian thinks it's time for lunch. The draft continues. Strategies are discussed. Pay me and I'll tell you what they are.
9:35 a.m. - The bottomless pit of a draft finally ends. I think there are two high school sophomores on Brian and Tim's team.
10:00 a.m. - Brian talks about how tired he is. Blah blah blah.
11:10 a.m. - Brian decides what to wear to his first scrimmage for the Bay Area Legends.
11:30 a.m. - Brian leaves for his scrimmage, which starts at noon. "It will probably last a couple of hours," he says.
4:15 p.m. - Brian returns home from the scrimmage, and he doesn't even remember the score. The game was 4 hours long and you didn't get the score?!
4:16 p.m. - Brian says he took a ball to the shin, his arm is killing him from throwing, and that he even sprained his big toe. I've never heard of a sprained toe! Apparently you can sprain anything with a muscle.
5:00 p.m. - Nurse Katie ices Brian, who astutely comments, "Maybe the game has passed me by."

Poor baby!
"I was always injury prone," he says.
