Yes, pre-season has started. Every year I get less interested in baseball. It's the same damn teams that win every year, and if you're not a fan of those seven or eight teams, then you know your season is over by the All Star game. Something's got to change in baseball.
This is shaping up to be another dreadful year. The only plus is that that dolt ricciardi is gone.
So the Orioles have a chance to beat out the Blue Jays this year? Seems like we have our competition and the Yankees and Red Sox have theirs.Quote:

I heard last night. I bet we're probably the only two here who knew who he was. May he rest in peace.Quote:

Sorry, Papaya.
Several pundits have said that we will remember this pitcher and his graceful acceptance of a "lost" perfect gameQuote:

I agree. But you know, Galarraga will forever be known as the pitcher who threw 28 perfect outs, a sort of super perfect game. He will stand out in the history books. :)Quote:

I have completely given up on baseball. The Orioles are about to have the worst record in the history of baseball and it's no fun.
Baseball is dead - long live baseballQuote:
