So the MLB All-Star game has come and gone, and each team's representative(s) is/are now back on a flight to join their team in the upcoming series. As such, today, and every other day following the MLB All-Star game, signals the lone day in the entire sporting year where there is not a single professional game/match played.
For this is the one day of the year where we as fans can take a step back from our vested interest in sports and perhaps spend some time with our family, enjoy a BBQ, do some gardening, go for a walk, et cetera, without illiciting a mere thought of checking in to see how our favourite team is doing.
It's funny -- we as fans clamour for days like this but end up having this voided feeling (similar to how hockey fans say the season drags on way too long into mid-June only to look forward to training camp by the end of the month). I will say, it will be weird flipping over to the various sports channel tickers to not find a boxscore, as it will checking the boxscores online or in the paper tomorrow morning.
Oh well, time to decompress. Hope you enjoy today because come tomorrow, it's back to the grind and today will have been all but a distant memory.
