Welcome back blogger...

Thought I would actually contribute on my sports blog as it has been a minute or two since I have done so. Despite being named so appropriately for my passion for the Philadelphia Eagles, this "A Birds Eye View" is of course dedicated to all things Philadelphia and Penn State related.


It is in that frame of mind that let me first say this; fuck preseason baseball. For every ounce of me that loves the game whole heatedly and entirely, it is with every bit of truth and honor that I hate preseason baseball. Pre season baseball is your first girl friend, teasing you, taunting your hormones, never even actually considering giving it up, never the less at least casually brushing up against it. Instead you are sitting there awkwardly with your erection just waiting for the day you can finally get off and maybe concentrate on more important things in life. But no... instead you waste time, looking up stats, researching rosters, doing fantasy drafts. Fucking dick tease. FUCK YOU PRESEASON BASEBALL, FUCK YOU IN YOUR STUPID FUCKING FACE. Isn't there like some curling on? Or maybe darts? At least if they were they would matter! To somebody! The day I care if Delwyn Young gets another crack at the bigs, or if Brian Bocock finally sticks as a utility infielder is the day I have officially gone too far. And that is a bold statement for a phan as fixated as me! I have season tickets... I do a Phillies podcast... I blog... I do a monthly 25 man roster for the Phils best minor league prospects... I HAVE ISSUES! And yet... I cannot be bothered to care about this shit. Wake me up in April please.

NOTABLE NOTES... Penn State plays Ohio State Tuesday night at 9pm, a win puts PSU in sole possession of 4th place in the Big Ten and would give them a big leg up for making the NCAA tournament... Big ups to Debs Alma mater Cedar Cliff for winning in the last seconds of OT in the quarterfinals of districts, we were there, and will be at the Giant center Tuesday evening when they take on number 1 seed York High... Congrats to PSU-Harrisburg on a great season, ended up ONE WIN AWAY from the NCAA Division III tournament losing 75-72 in OT to Wells College in the NEAC Championship game.
