Yea, I Think I Have A Problem

Well at least I think I do. MLB playoffs started today and my favorite team, the Yankees were playing at 3:00 pm and I was on the couch ready to go, but I couldn't get something ot of my mind. It's like that bad song you can't get out of your head after someone has been singing it all day. Only, it wasn't a bad song, it was actually music to my ears. The Celtics were playing in their first pre-season game at 5:30 pm. What was I going to do? Which one would I watch?

The choice should be obvious, I know. Playoff game or pre-season game, playoff game or pre-season game, playoff ga... You get the point and hopefully my dilema. So I'm watching the Yanks play and my thought process goes like this,"ok, the Twins just won am emotional one game playoff to get the chance to play in the post-season and the game had gone twelve innings.... Maybe I'll just luck out and the Yanks will get up big early and I won't have to worry about my horrifying decision that I may have to make." Be strong Chris!

4:00 comes along and the Yanks are losing 2-0 Great, now not only do I have this huge decision to make, but my team is going to lose to a team that it beat seven out of seven times this year. Time to drink the nyquil and play in traffic. 4:30, alright, were getting better, Derek Jeter has hit a two-run homer and Nick Swisher added an RBI double a few innings later and we are up 3-2. Quick side note, has Jeter ever had a bad post-season? He just seems to always get the big hits unlike some people who will remain, cough Arod, nameless. Side note two, I feel strange for wanting to reach through the screen to hug Jeter after his homer. Not that strange though...anyway, moving on.

5:00, Celtics pre-game show is starting. Am I actually watching a pre-game show of a pre-season game over a one-run playoff game? You're damn right I am! Come on Yanks, break it open, end my anguish! 5:30, yes, wheels falling off the feelgood story that is the Twins, Yanks go up 6-2 and just in time for the Celts game.

Of course I switch over on commercials to make sure the Yanks don't blow it. Thankfully they don't. Can't say that much for the Celts since they lose 96-90 to Houston. Am I really that upset over a pre-season game where the starters play like six minutes in the first and third quarters? Again, you're damn right I am! And that's why I have a problem.
