The MLB All Star Game was last week, and the two days after it are the only days of the year when there are no football, basketball, hockey, or baseball games taking place. The weeks between the MLB All Star Game and the MLB Trade Deadline is the worst time of the year for die-hard sports fans. Everyday is filled with nothing but baseball games, and if you are a Chicago White Sox fan, that’s not a good thing. Most of the day, the top sports news stories are previews about the upcoming college and NFL football season and the speculation of who is going to get traded at the MLB Trade Deadline on July 31st instead of the baseball games that are going on that day. Right now the only thing getting us through these horrible weeks is the fact that football training camp is right around the corner and we will soon get to see Jay Cutler throw touchdown passes to the other team again. But it’s not all bad. This is the time of year when die-hard sports fans can take a break and do other fun stuff like go outside and enjoy the summer weather, go to concerts, fairs, not think about Jay Cutler, find a hobby to do instead of spending the night on the couch watching the White Sox give up multiple runs in the first inning, etc. Life isn’t meant to be spent watching sports all the time.

After you read this, go and enjoy the weather outside. It’s finally starting to get nice out.
