I must be lacking some deeply elemental gene that allows you to enjoy professional sports. I don’t know anyone else in the Bay Area who is so totally uninterested in the World Series. It’s not really snobbery. When I was a kid and my dad was watching sports, I really tried to get into it. I just couldn’t. It was like watching physicists lecturing in ancient Greek. Still is. People keep having to remind me that the World Series is happening.
My geek gene speaks to me loud and strong, though. Tonight, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is on, and that clearly outranks the World Series or any other sports event. Plus, we still have Doctor Who on the DVR. Nerd orgy!
