Baseball. MLB season starts in one month.

[my2¢]

I'd like to see MLB expand to 32 teams and put 24 teams in a championship league made up of 4 divisions of 6 teams. Have another 8 teams regulated to a non-championship league. Each year have the 4 worst teams in the championship switch leagues with the 4 best non-championship league teams.

Same with the NFL about a 24/8 team split. Make incompetent ownership suffer and the game more competitive.

I think Salt Lake City and San Antonio could market viable, competitive teams.

I'd also add Charlotte and Nashville, but that would ruffle some owner feathers.

As a lifelong Red Sox fan I’m buckling in for another season of disappointment. I’ll avoid Fenway again for Polar Park in Worcester to watch the AAA affiliate a couple times but that’s about all I’ll be investing in this season.

Stop your whining!

Whine, whine, whine all you want but you have one of the most expensive line ups in all of baseball and have a few world titles under your belt in the modern era to show for it as where some teams don't even have one world championship and never will since they are a small market team, never seeing the light of day for all of eternity.

See we have this odd thing here in Bew England when it comes to sports teams… regardless of the sport or the level… it’s called expectations.

That means when you start winning you don’t get the right to go back to losing without the fan base bashing you incessantly and brutally. Especially the pro teams that wants to spend ridiculous amounts of money to watch them play.

Massholes are bad enough. They've now infiltrated New Hampshire and promoting their marxist politics.

The college baseball season started on Valentine's Day. And that's not just in Florida. Oh man and no thanks.

March 27th is the earliest opening day ever. I never attended a game in April, let alone March.

But it's still baseball. The grass. The brick. The crack of a ball on a wooden bat. The timelessness of summer. God, I love baseball.

went to scheels. all they had was dodger and yankee stuff. Didn't see any Reds gear.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Why would you see Reds' or Royals' gear?

Some merchants sell all teams, but yeah, Yanks are the top selling around the world.

Gerrit Cole out for the season. Bunch of other pitchers going down. Smotz has it right. Managers are not managing pitcher rights. Hell, I saw this in single A ball last season.

10 years

10 years

I remember an old baseball book that said Walter Austin and Tommy LaSorda were not the only managers who mismanaged pitchers and the resulting injuries, so this has been going for maybe more than fifty years.

I'll listen to the radio before paying for TV. The radio is often ahead of TV by at least 45 secnds anyway.
