Most dreaded day in baseball


Ok, so I exaggerate. It is not the most dreaded day in baseball for fans.


I'm sure many players love having 3 days off in the middle of the season so they can spend time with family, friends or just do anything besides their paying job.


There are other players who think this 3 day span messes up their stride, their momentum and they wish they could play right through the All-Star break.


For me, though it is one day, it's like a foghorn sounding all day long.


Monday of the All-Star break you have the home run hitting contest and other fanfare.


Tuesday is the actual All-Star game, and Victor Martinez was a wonderful representative for our Cleveland Indians. I still can not believe Charlie Manuel walked him!


Then Wednesday comes. No games. Nothing baseball. The minutes drag on like they are hours.


But there is that glimmer of hope that tomorrow ushers in a whole second half of the baseball season and we will have baseball through October.


Whether the Indians win or lose, I enjoy the game of baseball.


Even if they don't make it to the World Series, someone will and I will be there watching!
