Who knew and\/or who cares? Yeah I don&#8217;t know and\/or care either. However, there are a few benefits to the season starting up again, so to perk you up out of your Thursday rut, I give you<strong> BCU&#8217;s TOP 5 BEST THINGS ABOUT BASEBALL SEASON.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Cheap tickets<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Unlike football games where you basically have to sell your child to get the money for a seat 400 miles away from the action, baseball tickets are actually affordable. Well at least in San Diego they are. Maybe at Yankee stadium it&#8217;s expensive to get a baseball game ticket but in San Diego they&#8217;re like &#8220;do you want this? No? How about I give it to you and pay you 20 bucks and we call it even. Please take this ticket.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. A reason to drink on a Thursday at noon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Along with perfect weather (it&#8217;s over 80 today in case you were wondering which I know you were) and prettier people, being on the west coast has another advantage: everything is always on TV all early and stuff! Whereas when we have a late game everyone on the east coast has to down two 5-hour-energy drinks just to stay awake for it, we get Sunday morning football games at 10 am and Thursday baseball games at noon that DEMAND we crack open a beer with breakfast. It&#8217;s called support for the home team and you need more of it, bro.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Nobody really cares what&#8217;s happening<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Baseball is the only sport where you can show up halfway through, leave before it&#8217;s over, sit the entire game with your back to the field, and still walk out and say you had &#8220;a great time at the game.&#8221; Until game 140 everyone is just kind of waiting to see the news after the game so they don&#8217;t sound like an a**hole for not knowing the score. This fact is great for people like me who have the attention span of a small rodent.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. There is always something on to take a nap to<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>During non-baseball season, naptime requires me to flip channels for 20 minutes until a find a suitably crappy 90s action flick to fall asleep to (Point Break, I&#8217;m looking at you). During baseball season there is ALWAYS something on TV with the drowsiness-creation powers of Ambien. Something about watching chubby guys squint in the sun combined with the monotone sound of Grandpa Announcer Jim puts me to sleep in SECONDS.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Sports?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Also something something sports.<strong><br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-9136\" data-postid=\"9136\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-9136 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>via holyjeez.com NEWS FLASH: today is opening day of the MLB season.
