Title: It's time...
Post by: ursus on March 07, 2005, 12:57:52 PM
Baseball is starting up again.  :D

Anyone got a fave?

I think that the Dodgers are a mortal lock for 3rd in the NL West.

I'm a closet baseball fan.  I hate MLB and how its run, but I've been a Brewer fan since grade school.  I'm not into following them daily, but I do try to get to a few games each year, and will listen to the Uke call play by play for them on the local AM station.  its just so... quaint.

Glad to see you coming out of the closet Mr. Dog. The more the merrier.

I try to be a good boy and stay true to my indignation for how the sport is managed...  but on the inside I do love the game so and attending a game is such a guilty pleasure.

Sign up for Little League is this month for my son.  Last year his team only won four games but they all had a good time and the coach made sure that each boy got to play as much as possible.   I can't wait until opening day!

From the Milwauke Urinal:

PROJECTION:

It's been 12 years since the Brewers had a winning season, and they're hoping that this is the year they can break that streak. They have a lot of young talent who will have to work hard to be in contention in the NL Central. The Brewers are in a tough division with the defending NL Champion Cardinals, the Wild Card winning Astros and the confident Cubs. Milwaukee's goal right now is to just get over .500. If the Brewers are able to do that, then they might see themselves in fourth or fifth place in the NL Central, instead of in last.

This is the Dodgers good time. No games have been played, so we can sit back and daydream. In a couple of weeks the team will actually have to play, that's when it gets ugly.


I love the preseason.

I love going to Orioles games.  Sure, the Orioles have been sucking big time for quite a while, but some of them have some really cute bums.

I like the Indians. I got to go to my first MLB game last summer and it was awesome. There isn't anything quite like going to a baseball game on a sunny summer day!
