While watching the Yankees v Red
Sox game, I was reviewing my fantasy team, trying to decide who to replace
Avisail Garcia with, as the young White Sox outfielder is out for the season with
shoulder surgery.
Yengurvis Sulerte had
been having a nice game for the Yankees and is at roughly 50% owned on CBS
Sportsline, so I did what people do these days - I tweeted at Eric Karabell of
ESPN for advice.
Much to my surprise, a few minutes later@SulertePls favorite
my tweet. This totally freaks me out.
We not only live in a world where
I can regularly communicate with analysts from ESPN, but we live in a world
where I can misspell a player’s name in a tweet with a hashtag in front of it
and he can pick up his telephone in the locker room in New York right after the
game and see that he was mentioned by someone he doesn’t know 3000 miles across
the country in Seattle and favorite that tweet.
I couldn’t even have dreamt of
this when I was a kid watching the ONE baseball game a week on my little nine
inch black and white television.
I can’t wait to have Yengurvis
Sulerte on my fantasy team. Excuse me
while I go up my FAAB bid.
