I have to admit 2 things:
1. I am a weirdo when it comes to baseball... Super-passionate, uber-excitable, avid follower. Anyone who knows me at all can attest to this. Which leads to my second revelation of the day:
2. I play fantasy baseball.
Not only do I play it, but I'm that guy that checks it daily (and still isn't number 1 - grrr), updating my players, checking who's being dropped, added, figuring out new ways to evaluate my players - I even get all of my players' stats for the day sent to my phone (ok, so this is complements of one of my clients at work, but that is neither here nor there).
I also enjoy a tiny bit of sh** talk. Smack Talk. Making Cracks. That's right - I like to goad people, make them feel like crap when they can't beat me, and even stoop low enough to claim "At least I'm prettier than you" when they do beat me.
And yet, this year, NO ONE has said a word back. There's a part of me, only a small speck, mind you, that is feels the tiniest bit bad about making snarky comments to everyone. This is supposed to be a game, people! Games are supposed to include people that WANT and LIKE to win... People with a competitive spirit that enjoy trash talking. It fires you up (unless no one bothers to care that you are trash talking).
And this is the problem that I'm running into.... very disappointing, I must say, very disappointing.
