I'm scared...but it is something I must do.

So ever since I picked up a PS3,  I've realized that NOBODY I know has one.  Well, almost nobody.  I've got a buddy at work who bought a PS3 at launch for the sole purpose of playing "Madden" online with his fellow sports friends.

Anyways, when I found out he had a PS3, I convinced him to rent Call of Duty 4, since I didn't know anyone that I could play online with, and I already had played the hell out of the XBOX 360 version.  So being a good friend, he played his first non-sports game just so that he can play online with me.

Well, just like in the mafia...he did me a favor, and now I must do him a favor.  That's right, folks, he asked me- NO-, he insisted, that I rent...MLB: the SHOW.

Oh man.  I don't think I've ever mentioned this...but I absolutely despise sports games!  As a matter of fact, I can't stand Baseball or Football!  Maybe this comes from growing up in Chicago, where we've had a civil war between the North and South Side for ages, and where we once had a great Basketball team, and where we once had a great football team. 

But none of that matters now, as I must do my part of the bargain, and I must pay $5+ to rent this game, I must invest 2+ hours (at least) to learn how to play, and then I must invest another 2-10+ hours to play online with this guy, because apparently he doesn't have many buddies playing online either!

I'll definitely discuss this tragic situation in fine detail on episode #7.  But until then, pray for me and wish me luck in my Journey of Sports and Sorrow.
