Early season

"Before being relieved, Baltimore Orioles pitcher Darren O'Day #56 dips his head after allowing the bases to be loaded against the New York Yankees in the sixth inning during their MLB baseball game at Oriole Park at Camden Yards in Baltimore, Maryland, April 9, 2012. The Orioles lost, 6-2."

Baseball is back. The boys of summer are ready for the long season and their dedicated fans are already claiming 162-0 records for their favorite ball club.

The Baltimore Orioles were coming into Monday night undefeated, while the New York Yankees were looking for their first win.

For me, it was my first game back, and my first game shooting for Thomson Reuters, and I was rusty. Looking back at this year, I haven't shot much sports, and it has been a solid month since I've seen any game action.

The good thing is that I think I found my groove. After a slow start like the Yankees, I'm ready for some more baseball and excited to pickup where I left off last year.

It's still early in the season - very early. No need to be my own worst enemy four games into the campaign.

I'll be taking it inning-by-inning; and maybe waiting for some warm summer nights.
