Okay I got it all out over on the blog so that I can stop bothering you fine Tumblr folk with it, but for the few of you left who still want to read my feelings about baseball, here you go. (And how could you not be curious with lines like “I pity heterosexual boys who are into baseball”?)

Cicadas and all.
