Happy First Day of Spring

The first day of spring means that Opening Day cannot be far behind. Nature and baseball go hand-in-hand at this time of year! Only 11 days till the first pitch of Mets at Cardinals, the Sunday Night Opener on ESPN. Make sure MLB.com is already a regular part of your routine and watch some MLB.TV now to get in the flow of being a serious baseball fan! Below is what Busch Stadium looked like the last time I was there -- late October of 2007, courtesy of my Canon PowerShot A540. Where will I be this October? How about a Rangers or Rockies bash? This decade is all about crowning the shockers and spreading the love, so that Rally Monday early each October is new blood everywhere. Just do me a favor and completely throw away any preseason publications after you read their picks. Everyone will be wrong again. Now that I'm in my sixth year with Major League Baseball, that much I know as absolute gospel. Yankee fans, not a good idea for my buddy Johnny Damon to say the Yanks are best. The best shall be the rest. Again. Best to go into a season not expecting a whole lot and even better to win that Wild Card!

I am ready for this..... I love this time of the year, a fresh start and the only time when 'my' teams have a chance. The royals and the rockies.... I have been a season ticket hold of both clubs for about 15 years. This year is different. I did not to buy the tickets. A hard decision, but still one that, at the moment, I am comfortable with. But it is an exciting time.

I am going way out on a limb and have told people close to me that I like Rangers over Rockies in the 2007 World Series. I'm not joking. Anyone who has watched closely this decade knows that nothing is far-fetched. All you have to do is make it to October and then there are ZERO favorites. Thanks for the comment, let's play ball!!!!!!

Maybe '07 will be my year for baseball. I must admit, I like the hot dogs more than the games... but give me a beer and I'm ready to play ball!

You're in Chicago, right? Cubs should make you very happy this year. Of course, we say that every year. But really, they should make you very happy this year. (Repeat chorus.) Dodger Dogs are The Legend -- make sure you get one sometime in life if you haven't. Freshly steamed and you open the celophane wrapper and the smoke rises and the dog sticks out 1 1/2 inches on each side of the long bun, and smother it with Dodger Mustard, and you are pretty much in heaven while you look out over the San Gabriel Mountains. My favorite dog in baseball. But they're all good at the game! And the brew.

I kind of like it when the Cubs stay in perpetual mediocrity. What makes you think this year is going to be different?

Lou Pinella--the huge amount of $$ they spent in the offseason. We may not be talking World Series..but I'm hoping for competitive.

newmanmlb > you have got me curious about baseball now, i have cable and they broadcast the games here in Oz, so I am going to catch a few games and see if I can get into it.

In return, you have to checkout Aussie Rule football. My company sponsors the Sydney Swans www.sydneyswans.com.au

Lets see if we can find any interest in a sport on the opposite side of the world - look forward to swapping thoughts with you.

BTW - Having a baby is the best thing in the world - its no hassle at all and full of joy! Life is amazing.
