Tonight, the White Sox return to Comiskey Park for their first game since winning the World Series after 88 years.
Baseball season has begun, and with it 162 opportunities to stare at future husband Scott Podsednik for hours at a time. (His wife? I have people working on it. That playmate is going down).
If I vanish mysteriously, chances are I'll be camped out in the bleachers for the next few months.
Tonight's game is airing nationally at 8 PM EST on ESPN2. Interested parties should visually stalk left field.
Update - He is hotter than ever:
Robbie - the playmate has probably already gone down far more times than you could engineer...

Scott's ass really is pleasingly round, isn't it?

Go Pad's... Crap, I'm such a loser!!!

Baseball fan, Robbie? Me too. Big time. Red Sox fan since, oh, before you were born, brother.

Uh, let me clarify...Robbie is a Scott Podsednik fan. It just so happens that Scott plays baseball...

I grew up on baseball and played in leagues. After many a year of enduring Chicago teams, I gave up on tracking the Cubs and Sox, going to games more as a social outing than out of concern for what was actually happening on the field.
Since I'm a South Sider, the White Sox roped my attention towards the end of last year's season, and now I'm planning on following them season-long this year.
Scott did have a rather, uh, large role to play in this reinvigoration of interest =)
I've always gone to a handful of games every year, but this year I plan on attending as many as possible, always seated firmly in left field.

I knew something could get you in left field.

Ahem...I rest my case.

LOL, I thought it was possible to be both, but I suppose a guy has his priorities.
I'm a big fan of that entire family of sports. I was a perennial all-star / all-state infielder, my daughter is a softball all-star. Over this weekend, both daughters and I actually played cricket at a Civil War Days weekend. I'm one of the thirty people who actually followed the World Baseball Classic this spring. I assume that qualifies me as a junkie.

Okay - I grew up in Mississippi and I live in Georgia. Crickets are bait. WTF?

Well, I'm probably understating my baseball interest a little bit. When I lived in Britain, I had to subscribe to the unholy North American Sports Network for my baseball fix =)

Well QC, since Robbie lived in England previously, I'm sure he can tell you about cricket too. It's a lot of fun to play. And if I say so myself, I adapted my aforementioned baseball acumen to cricket and played very well against much more experienced players. I'll do it again.

I explained the concept of the tea break to QC =)

LOL. I suppose that'll have to do on a gay blog, won't it?

When wandering the pink realms, it's always best to discuss sports while making little asides that make them palatable to the natives =)

For example: A home run is when a man wearing pants so tight that they accuentuate his firm, taut buttocks connects his loooooong haaard piece of wood with a white ball that is thrown from a "pitcher", thereby sending said ball (normally comprised of "leather") into an explosive trajectory that propels it out of the ballpark and onto your headboard.
.... That team then gets a point.

I like they Chad said it!

Or...
I like the way Chad said that!
sheesh.

FYI: That was my imitation of Ike Brofloski.

"...and onto your headboard..."
Your entire description of the home run is applicable up to that point. The headboard thing seems to indicate that you may have been, uh... distracted?... by something, uh... other than baseball?
Seems Chad may have to clean his headbord. I recommend pine soap.
