    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.

    I think it could be a distinct possibility. I'd be surprised if anyone on the jays starters won more than 13/4 games this year now halladay is gone - we may get a quick start cos of the kids but it will all peeter out by mid june

    You may be right. Many a night was spent on the porch with Grandpa listening to Ernie call a game on an old brown leather transitor radio.

    Being that I lived in NY I never got to really hear him except for an occaisional TV appearence. He had a great voice for baseball.

    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.

    Its so hard to keep track of how my Jays are doing - checking the standings only tells me so much

    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.

    I gotta tell ya, if the NL East weren't so weak, the Braves would be stinking up the place a whole lot worse than they already do.
    Uhhhh...
