Baseball, Fatigue, Sex?
First of all, this is a grownup topic. All you young'uns around here, go play in the Daily Link Dump or something. Mommy & Daddy are just having a private conversation in here. We'll be out in a little while. Yes! You can watch tv!
For all you folks without kids? This might not be for you either. There needs to be a level of fatigue which I believe can only be achieved with parenthood for you to relate to this diary. And maybe both partners should have a full-time job. 2 kids might be especially good for relating. And a longish term partner, not one of them newfangled shiny new relationships that are just so exciting still.
OK then. Here's the thing. Baseball season is back, and I am happy happy happy about this. But it does have certain affects that are not so blessed. I am speaking, of course, about the game-doesn't-end-until-10pm-or-later-and-by-then-I'm-really-tired-honey situation. That is to say, Mr. Lurker D and I have a lovely habit of listening to games on the radio in the bedroom after the kids are finally asleep. But lo the fatigue and sleep doth often overtake us, and lo, well. What I'm trying to say is that the sex life does take a hit during the baseball season. And I don't mean it gets a home run, either, no! You know what I mean? Am I the only one?
I feel a survey is in order:

I'm gone in Sixty minutes... before you.
Lost g/f's are the biggest problem because I can sleep when I'm dead. I honestly should move to Oakland where a girl of the same interests can actually be found.

Thanks goodness for the MLBPA

Most runs suck, unless scored by the A's ...
Runs in pantyhose, not good.
Runs in the World Baseball Classic ... sometimes good, sometimes bad in determining tiebreaks.

Solution:
Just do as the game, for lack of a better word, dictates.
A's get to first base, so do you...Second and so on.
There can be side bets, like, if Marco gets this hit, then I'll do x, and if he doesn't, then, you do x.
Hopefully there will be no shutouts, because a night with no scoring after being on base all game can be a new level of frustration!!!

More Reason
My last relationship went downhill after Zito pitched that hanging curveball to Manny in 2003 - I kicked a hole in the wall, and she thought I needed anger management. No more sex for me!

I guess I have to chime in on this one ...
Here's how we do it:
Get the kids to bed early and service the lady before the 8th inning. You can listen to the beginning of the game (dinner before the game starts, dishes and/or bath accompanied by Ken Korach - it's part of the routine), turn it off for bedtime stories, and a quick game check before going into the bedroom with your wife. Get down to business with her, then turn it back on by the 8th inning or so. Sure, you miss an hour of the game or so, but that's what you signed up for by having a family. After sex, you can turn the game down to a whisper and watch or listen as your wife sleeps. You miss some baseball, but at least you don't get your wife resenting you or baseball, right? Don't listen to blowouts, but make sure she knows that you are turning off the game to focus your attention on her (as opposed to because it's a blowout). BTW, baseball on radio before bedtime is an important part of getting the kids into it so they are begging you to take them to games, which is more compelling for my wife than me trying to convince everyone that's what we want to do on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. But whatever you do, you can't deny sex to your wife.

OK, something's screwed up here.
Orgasms rule.
I don't care if Harden's pitching a perfect game in Game 7 of the World Series, if my wife comes downstairs in something sexy the game is over and I'm headed to bed.
Or wherever she wants me to follow.
Not to be cruel or rude Mrs. D, but if you're asking the question "baseball or sex" than you're not doing the sex right! I've been married for nearly 5 years and we have a 3 year old son, trust me I know how tough it is to find the time and or energy for intimacy. I recommend purchasing the book "101 Nights of Grrreat Sex" by Laura Corn. 101 helpful and fun tips and scenarios to spark the imagination.

No kids now
That said, short of the game situation being one of the following ...
1)Late innings, close Yankees/Angels/Red Sox game
2)Late innings, late season, close game, jockeying for division/wc
3)Road Playoff game (if it's home, I'm there)
... if 'this sex of which you speak' becomes a likely prospect ... TV goes off (come on, really, there are at least {I hope} 162 games to the season).
