Angst…

11Apr11

We all know that as sports fans that there will be agony and ecstasy along the way. Ups and downs that hit harder than they probably should. The end results of a fixture or season can define our mood for the hour or the day or longer depending on the magnitude of the occasion. So here I am writing this as a self confessed Chelsea and Seattle Mariners fan preparing for my next mood change!

There is a small fixture tomorrow evening in the Champions league, catch it at Soho and Tower, between man utd and Chelsea that will either mean agony or ecstasy for me and the other fans. I am not looking forward to this thinking it will be a great match etcetera but all I am feeling is angst. That feeling that won’t go away. This game is massive and as Chelsea are 1-0 down at half time, so to speak,  it’s looking a bit bleak but one can hope. We came down from 1-0 down at half time at Stamford Bridge in the recent league game and we beat them at Old Trafford last season so one hopes of victory but always that feeling in my stomach…

Now with the baseball season 10 days old, we still have a long way to go. Over 94% of the season remains, But I have a bad feeling for my M’s. We are 2-7, with an offence that is anaemic again! We had one of the worst offences of all time last year and though while the sample sizes are small. And yes regression to the mean is still a possibility. And yes I know if the Rays and the Twins will improve on offence so can the M’s. With so many many players not performing as they should they have to get better right?After last season though, what I feel is that feeling in your stomach. That nervous feeling that won’t go away. Angst…
