Whose excited about baseball season????

Baseball was my true love. I played since I was 6 years old and ended up being by far the best player in my highschool ( I once stole 2nd 3rd and home base after hitting a single lol) only to have my future at U albany derailed by a leg injury. I am not an expert on football, I know a lot, but not as much as some people that post here, admitingly. However I know everything there is to know about baseball

I have always been a die hard Yankee fan. I made it down there to watch some of their games. It was truly Surreal to see players like Derek Jeter, Bernie Williams, Paul Oneil, Roger Clemons, and Andy Pettite in the late 90s and early 00s when they were dominant.

I haven't been impressed the past 10 years or so because they have been investing big bucks in aging veterans that dont pan out. Like C.C Sabathia, Alex Rodrigues and Carlos Beltran. Tanaka has not panned out as hes been pitching with a bad elbow for 1 and a half seasons and should have had tommy john surgery 2 years ago. Its amazing that Brian Cashman still has a job. They need to build their organization from the ground up, like the steelers do. Or at least sign young players that still have years ahead of them. Who can forget the unexpected heros like Aaron Boone or Scott Brocious back in the day.. wow that was a dominant team. The rivalry with the red sox was so heated. Then there was the time Clemons through a broken bat at Mike Piazza, LOL.

Now they have invested in chapman so they have 3 closers Miller, Bentances and Chapman? That nice and all but we need a strarting pitcher that can go 7-8 inning on a regular basis or that bullpen is going to be tired as shit all season. We could sign Cliff Lee but im afraid his best days are behind him, and if they arent he would only be good for a year or two as I believe he is 37 years old.


Anyways.. yeah baseball, gives me something to do untill football season begins. Watching football is more exciting but I truly love to play baseball I am very gifted at it but keep re injuring my stupid right leg.....

Anyone else a fan of baseball?

i'm a phillies fan so....not me

they play like 400 games a year so No!

baseball, hate it, not violent enough. I mean they got the bat

I like being at the park and watching a game, but on TV, its not interesting enough for me to watch 3 hours of guys failing to get on base 70-80% of the time.

I really don't tune in unless playoffs become compelling, and by then, I am coaching football and don't have much time.

Me! I can't wait to see what fry cook the O's trot out to fill their rotation this year!

Did someone mention baseball?

*falls asleep*

Baseball? What is this baseball you speak of?

Oh wait, I remember, it's the boring elongated season of pitch, hit, catch which takes up most of the summer while we wait for football to start again.

Nailed it!

It was more interesting when everybody took steroids, then it was at least kinda exciting on sportscenter. then the league cracked down on it and then i didnt care anymore. if people were still hitting 100 hr's a year i'd maybe watch
