What a grind it’s been. In 30+ years of following baseball, I can’t ever remember looking forward to season’s end, but that’s pretty much where I’m at right now. Actually, I’ve been there for a few months.
It’s a strange feeling, and kind of sad. I just want the friggin’ games to end so I can breathe a little and get back to focusing on research. Is that so much to ask? Just finish these 10 meaningless games so I can start working with final stats.
Sigh.

We’re driving to Vegas on Thursday for Blog World Expo. I made it out to last year’s inaugural event and had a blast. The sessions were mostly informative, and networking opportunities abounded. I got to rub elbows with the likes of Rob Neyer and Will Leitch, among many others.
I’m not really a Vegas kind of guy, and last year I didn’t do much beyond attend sessions. This time, however, we got tickets to see Tony Bennett. I’m hoping he’ll sing “The Best Is Yet to Come” because Lord knows I need the reminder.
Anyway, if you end up at Blog World Expo, let me know. I’ve got new business cards and everything…
Have fun in Vegas, and I’m officially jealous you’re going to get to see Tony Bennett. Though I really really want to see Wayne Newton, don’t ask me why…but I do.
