    Two more weeks of ST. Heck. At least the weather may be better.

    Victor Reyes packed on 20 lbs. of muscle over the off-season. The good old days are back!

    The interview with AJ Hinch was good. I haven’t followed the stuff too closely until now I didn’t realize that Miggy had volunteered to DH only so they could always get Tork and Shoop the time they needed at first.

    You really know baseball is back when you’re watching a spring training game, the TV crew is bantering joyfully,and mlb.com is playing erectile dysfunction ads. It is morning in America!
  5. IdahoBert
    The TV guys are claiming that Miggy is back. Basically he “looks” like a baseball player.
  6. IdahoBert
    Baddoo triple!

    The goal of a historic ST perfect game has cleared the first hurdle.

    I would never hope for someone to be injured because that would be morally corrupt. But if Correa just sucked up a storm and screwed the Twins for three years that would make me happy. I don’t want him to be hurt because I’m honestly not Evil but I will root for him to suck because it hurts the Twins.

    Gamel hammers one.

    Spring training, hot baseball wives.

    Those were the ones I was thinking of that I didn’t like. I think that was the ‘79 World Series team. At least the hats.

    He killed Keller!

    Those uniforms have a quiet traditional dignity about them.

    So, we are playing the NL team with whom we have been most associated for 121 years.

    I am starting to get optimistic about this season. My optimism has a poor track record.

    I feel like one of those Japanese soldiers after World War II who wasn’t sure that the war had ended. Is it safe to come out now?

    Forget Correa. I wouldn’t authorize a 10-year deal for Jesus. Yes his first three seasons were spectacular, but he got to the show at 30 and he’s 33 years old. His inordinately high BABIP is clearly unsustainable. He hangs out with a pretty rough crowd too. I think he’s a public relations problem waiting to happen. I vote no.

    So let me get this straight; instead of playing teams within our own division something like 72 games a year we will play 48 games a year? That’s like a dream come true. Also, can owners make major changes to the structure of the leagues and basic rules at will? Like abolishing separate leagues altogether? Or is that years away when there’s another CBA negotiation? I guess I could look this up but I don’t want to do my own research.

    I’m glad the DH will be universal. For me, celebrating a pitcher’s AB is the equivalent of applauding Jim Crow, lynchings, and book burnings.

    I will be glad not to play the same damn teams in our division over and over again. And if part of the price I have to pay to get that is to play more interleague games I can live with that.

    I had honestly given up and stopped following the news on the CBA and was on the verge of burning my baseball paraphernalia, rubbing the ashes all over my body and walking through the streets shouting “Woe, woe, the End is near!” I’m glad I didn’t do that.

    Ay, caramba como en el fútbol?

    When much of the season was canceled in 2020 I discovered how little I really need this hobby. The part of me that’s a cynic and a nihilist thinks Pol Pot was pretty much right about burning the whole thing down (although I do disagree with his position on people who wore glasses). i’m really tired of this But I’m not a cynic and I’m not a nihilist and I know that as soon as baseball begins I’ll be back like a dog excited that his owner has come home at the end of the day. But I might bite him really hard.

    AH-knee-BALL, at least that’s what Dan says and I’m sticking with it. When you pronounce it “Annabelle” you should be playing a banjo at a hoedown.
