My first game-scoring attempt was made while watching Game 5 of the 1986 World Series (shout-out to Netflix!).  It required a great deal of rewinding and re-watching stuff (is that what you call it in the DVD age?  Or is it maybe... "back-tracking" or some such?  Well, anyway...) and a fair amount of erasing and re-writing stuff.  Fun for kids of all ages!  I've scored a handful of games so far and at this time feel that I am *almost there* with it.  Someone had told me it'd be a hassle and interfere with my fun at the ballpark, however this has turned out to be very much not the case.  I think I'm having even more fun now, so there!

Uptight-Yankee-Fan-Big-Brother has been extraordinarily patient in handling the sudden onslaught of phone queries from his clipboard wielding little sister, although, contrary to popular belief, 'scoring is personal, you have to do it however it makes sense to you' is not a terribly helpful direction when the directee is clueless as to what they are doing.  Yano... FYI.  Love ya' though, don't go changin'!

I'm frustrated because I'm sure that I'm getting things wrong, but I have no way to, well, score my scoring(?).  However, there is the added bonus of games taking twice as long to watch now, so I've got that going for me...

... and it's actually a whole lot of fun, this scoring business, and has instantly made me better able to know and remember all of what went down in the games I've seen.  Go on, ask me what happened in the game last night... go on, ask!  6-4-3, baby, yeah! Haha!

At various points across the New York metropolitan area, my loved ones are groaning and muttering to themselves 'first the MLB.com full-season on-demand subscription and now this, when will it all end??'

If you want me, you know where I'll be; on a couch in Bay Ridge, or in the upper deck of a ball park in Flushing.  Play ball!  :scribbles earnestly on scorecard:
