Like you heard me say on another forum, "Talk to me in June."

Fair weather fan.

I've been waiting for this day since November, can my Giants repeat? Probably not but it will be a fun ride along the way!

We'll see how the Rays' bullpen shakes out. Still a solid rotation. Especially, if they can foist Shields on someone.

Opening day is tomorrow. At least that's when the Phillies (and my new Cliff Lee jersey) will debut.

Go Cubs Go!

I hate it when I hear people pick the Cubs to do well....I was actually looking forward to having no expectations for them this year.

The only people that picked the Cubs to do well live in a room with rubber walls. And you will be rightly rewarded for your expectations when the Cubbies are eliminated from Wild Card consideration....which should be somewhere around next Wednesday.

I can honestly say that I have heard no one - not even a member of their own organization - pick my M's to do well this season. So I don't have to worry about any jinxes...just worry about another 100+ loss season.

For the cost of the Rays' entire rotation, you could get A-Rod for about 80 games.

The Rays ain't that stoopid. I just finished watching RoidBoy do one of his patented home run trots. On a double.

The over/under on Joe Maddon throttling Manny should be about April 15. And wait until he gets a coupla months of Kyle Farnsworth in too.

Expectations were high......but the temps weren't = 42o, drizzly and breezy. But, it was nice to hang out with my bro and talk sports for a few hrs!

We hope to get a sniff of .500 ball this yr. Just a sniff. Today, before the first ball was tossed, may be as close as we get.....
