I was thinking about how I'm vaguely disappointed that the Suns aren't playing a game today (I've become a bone fide fan over the last 3 years or so). But then I thought, well, it's ok because basketball is a really tough game when you have back-to-back games, especially when playing the frenetic pace they do.
So I started thinking about how it must be nice that baseball teams play all the time - sometimes twice a day. But does that make them lesser athletes? Not really - I mean, they train to the highest physical level that they can. That's why they're professionals. There isn't a ton of exercise involved in baseball - it's sitting on the bench or waiting for a pitch. Then I came to a weird conclusion: I bet that baseball players have harder, more exhaustive days on the days that they train - their 'days off' - than days with an actual game. Weird. "Oh, man thank God we have a game today - I could use the break."
Oh yeah and I lost my job. I hated it passionately, so how bad this news is depends on how long it takes to replace said job. EDIT: I talked to the father of a White Sox player, and he says that because they do a lot of drills and warmups before the game on a game day, it ends up being about the same amount of exercise.
