The midwinter time killer that is Professional football is at an end...time to crank up for the greatest sport on earth!!!

1. Twins pitchers and catchers report Sunday, right?

[SaveElmer]

2. That's right!!!

I'm seeing rumblings on ESPN, and listening to some of the beat writers that the Twins are slipping under the radar this year. Some are picking them to be the surprise of the year!!!

I think they may be right. Terry Ryan is a genius!

3. Rarely has a man done so much with so little

:hi:

6. I don't know about all the teams

But my team's batteries report TODAY! Workouts start tomorrow!!

It's just around the corner. Warm days sitting in the sun and watching a game, warm evenings sitting at home and listening to one on the radio or watching one on television. Watching the ball sail out of the park or watching it shoot across the infield. Red dust billowing around the players as they slide into second. Popcorn. Hot dogs. The expression on a kid's face when he catches a foul ball. The expression on a kid's face when someone gives him a foul ball.

Football is just a place holder. Basketball, too.

Hockey I didn't even miss last year.

It's time. Let the games BEGIN!!!!

[SaveElmer]

8. Outstanding...

You said it better than I ever could!!! My son and I get season tickets to the local Single A team...minor league baseball is the best!

[KitchenWitch]

9. for some reason, the Twins are a late report this year!

I agree about football and basketball being placeholders.
