A Tale of Two Baseball TeamsBy Ryan, July 11, 2006
It was the best of teams, it was the worst of teams. It was the 2-time Texas League Champions, it was the Colorado League’s 3-time last place team. It was my hometown Frisco Roughriders, it was my birthtown Tulsa Drillers. And they play each other tomorrow... or should I say later today?  @  Frisco Roughriders (7-11)Tuesday, July 11th 7:00 PM For the record, just because I alluded to Dickens does NOT mean I enjoy his literature. Back to the future-- I mean the original topic, which kinda takes place in the future-- who do I root for? I mean, I could keep my loyalty to the Drillers, who have been my favorite team since golly-knows-when, or I could go with the crowd and be a Riders guy. I mean, it’s the Minor League... who’s gonna drive 200+ miles to see the stinkin’ Drillers play on the road? Would I be the only Tulsa fan there? But then again, is it really so bad to be rejected? Yeah, all my friends would call me crazy, but is that such a break from the ordinary? Not really. My uncle gave me some wise advice... “Root for both and really confuse the people around you. Have fun.”Didn’t the Bible say something about serving two masters? I just want to know why the Frisco Roughriders felt that their bathrooms were so worthy of being on their website. After all that rambling, we finally get to my point. People obsess over many different things; in the case of the Roughriders, it’s hiring an interior decorator for the Ladies’ room. But for people like me, it’s TV, PlayStation2, the Internet (surprise, surprise), and CORNBREAD. (You’ll have to ask someone from Troop 216 about that last one...) Rewind and pause at TV. I have a friend that knew how to not let TV corrupt his life. My best friend, Justin, does not watch television. I think that’s a rather good idea; I might try and wean off of the idiot box myself. I still gotta watch the news so I can keep up my political blog, and maybe Wheel of Fortune or Jeopardy now and then. And whatever OSU game is on; that’s important. I want to see a comment about what other people are doing to get rid of non-Christian obsessions. And then I can talk about it in my small group on Sunday night. Leave a comment, ready, set, go!
