Baseball’s back for another season.  Go Tigers!  And, yes, Go Jays!…unless they’re playing the Tigers.  But here’s what bugs me.  People who take cell phones to the game.  I understand if you’ve got little ones that you’ve left with the sitter and you want to be available, in case there’s a problem.  These aren’t the people I’m talking about.The guy I’m talking about is the guy in the first row, right behind home plate…or just above the home team’s dugout…seats you or I couldn’t buy if we tried.  Is he paying attention to the game?  No.  He’s on his phone!  But wait…it gets worse.  He’s on the phone with his buddy who’s watching the game at home.  Wait, wait…now it gets totally ridiculous.  He’s now waving at his buddy!  “Hey, can you see me?  Is the camera on me?  I’m wavin’ to ya’”  What a goof! Here’s what I think the people broadcasting these games ought to do.  You know how sometimes the guy doing the colour commentary will write stuff on the screen.  I think it’d be so awesome if they just put a big “L” over this clown’s face.  “Yeah man, I see ya’.  But guess what!”
