Spring Training Begins,

[dkphxf]

Three most important words of the day -- pitchers and catchers. Where does this day rank on a baseball fan's season?

 

[Michael_ Gee]

Somewhere below the amateur draft. Men play catch!!! Whoopee! Since it happens every year, and since the chances you, the fan, will get to go to spring training this year (which is delightful) are very low, it's not that big a deal.

Getting Halladay, Lee, Hamels and Oswalt in the same place at the same time makes this day pretty damn special to me.

And pretty damn depressing for me

Yep, get four guys who lost to the likes of Lincecum, Cain and Bumgardner and all of a sudden the Phillies are world-beaters. This has epic fail written all over it. Older staff, older team.

Wow. Did someone **** in your corn flakes this morning? I'm going to 3-4 games this spring. Plus, I'll be watching closely to see which players break camp with the big club and which pitchers earn spots in their rotations.

Pitchers and catchers and it's 51 degrees here today.
Makes me feel that spring is not far away ... and it won't be long before I'm saying, god, the Mets suck.

This is the time of year where I can imagine the young Pirate hitters coming together just enough to buoy the arms to a .500 record come late August.

Sources have confirmed that Jayson Werth's beard has arrived in Viera.

Keep dreaming. Reality will set in by June 1 at the latest

I swear you called the Boomer and Carton Show on WFAN this morning.

 

[trifectarich]

The Pirates are tied for first place.

(That's going to be the last time in my life I can write that, so please, let me be.)

Awful optimistic there, aren't ya? I was thinking April 1 for the Pirates.

June 1 would be when the Tigers start fading.

They're ****ty.

 

[cranberry]

I'm leaving for Fla. a week from today but I just keep thinking it's too soon and that there's way too much to do this week before I go. I guess I'll be OK once I've settled in.

You dying sometime soon? Cause I'm pretty sure you could write that every February.

If I follow the Bucs too closely, you never know how bad it might get around August.

 

[JackReacher]

Damn good point.

So you are saying I can enjoy April and May!

 

[NightHawk112005]

The Blue Jays' pointless march toward 70 wins begins today. I don't know what I'm going to do with myself this summer.

 

[93Devil]

At least the Bucs have better young players now than they have had for 15 years.
