The scent of baseball is in the air, not that it means anything yet but still... I love the smell pine tar, fresh cut grass and a hint of popcorn!

I hear ya qikgts , I hear ya . Can't wait ! I've been following Spring Training games trying to get a feel for what to expect . Still way early though and I know the sole purpose of these games is for coaches and management to evaluate . In the N.L. Central it's gonna be a dogfight between my Cardinals and the Reds again .
Countin' down the days.........

Yep, still another few weeks until I really pay attention. The Nats train just down the road from my house, like 3 miles away, and today they were playing Houston. I didn't stop but it's easy to see guys during BP/doing drills/taking ground balls on other fields right from the road. Starting to get jazzed!

Pine tar is great until someone puts it in your jock strap. It doesn't wash off and man does it heat.

The next round of the World Baseball Classic is going to be a pain in the ass. Fuckin' Puerto Rico and The Dominican Republic are the same Pool with the USA.

[Green Manalishi]

Opening day couldn't get here fast enough . Been salivating for this one since last late - October .
One week from today is the holiest of all days for Cardinal Nation .
Can't wait for the start of the 121st. season in St. Louis . Looking forward to a 11th. division title , a 19th. pennant , and a 12th. World Series Championship . Go Cards ! Play ball !

Lackluster start for the (might as well have been) split squad Yanks today...

Harper and Strasburg both had a hell of a day today for the Nats!

[Zing!]

Yankees rebuilding should be great news for the Twins.

Now if we only had some pitching.

Damnit!

[DLR Bridge]

Uhh, I think we need a thread with a 2013 in the title. This is going to make start dating checks wrong.

[Zing!]

I'll trade ya Phil Hughes for joe Mauer.....

We don't have any pitching because we resigned Mauer!

[DLR Bridge]

We'll give you Joba for a six pack of Schlitz.

[Zing!]

We'll give you Joba for a six pack of Schlitz.

A sixer of Schlitz and a pound of back bacon - PLUS a new set of tires for the grounds crew's mower and you got yourself a deal.

[DLR Bridge]

Joba is about 300 lbs. of bacon, but I'll throw in the tires 'cause you're a good guy.
