9. We're always in contention until about the middle of April, and then
the season is pretty much over. :(

24. Believe me, I've been watching them do this for the last 17 years.
Kind of ruins the love for baseball that I used to have.

to a perfect season, 162-0!

8. Our first "test" is at noon today-- we play the Skankees!
Your boys are probably still hung over a little from last year's triumph!

And you're right - it's time for someone to pull the beer bottles out of Chase's and Jayson's hands. :P

3. I'm a Dodger fan.
For us, spring training won't start until Scott Boras pulls his head outa his ass.

4. Dbacks 2-0
The Dbacks are a good team but the NLW is a tough division this year so they'll have a fight on their hands to win it this year.

43. I know but Baseball isn't the same when I was a kid
Free Agency spoiled it for me.

But I still love the game - we should go to a Blue Rocks game sometime. That's always a fun time for everyone!

21. It's supposed to suck.
The best teams (Rays, Phils, Sox, Dodgers, etc) start spring training barely using their primo players. They're looking at their deep roster, deciding who's going to stay. Some teams are already playing like it's September.

I watched the Sox game the other night, and I was like, "who the hell are these people?"

I'm simply happy for the Nationals fans who get to see their team at a staggering .500 for the first time since...well, since a long time ago.

32. Yes, in '05 they finished 81-81. Haven't seen .500 since.
Of course, you watch. With all my trash talk, the Nats will win the whole damn thing this year. At which point I, naturally, will take credit.

33. I'm still high from the World Series. That's my problem.
To go from THAT - to THIS - absolutely blows.

I hear ya, though....I don't know half the dudes playing for the Phils right now. :wtf:

Nice goad on TZ, btw. :rofl:

Even Luis Castillo is playing well...not that any of this even matters in the slightest, but I'm pleased so far.

I plan on watching them play against the Cardinals today
