Today is *officially* the first day of spring training (for pitchers and catchers) So It's time for the official threads to start up. Seeing as tho we've already started posting about it, I think we should consolodate the rest into this thread since it's now "officially* (I like saying that, can you tell?) spring training time

Mets win NL-East, Cubs win NL-Central, D'backs or Dodgers win NL-West. NL Wildcard goes to the Rocks...
Who cares about the AL? they don't play real baseball.

^^It's true^^
Although dude put the dh into the rules when he invented the game, it's too differant of a game.
I'm not into predictions this early, I'll say my hopes tho.
I hope the Cardinals win, I hope the Cubs lose. That's all for now.
Oh! I hope the red sox and yankees implode together so we don't have to sit through an hour and a half breakdown on baseball tonight when other, more interesting things happen every weekend

so, 'player, what do you think of La Russa wanting to get Barry Bonds into a Cardinals uniform for the last two years?
Personally, I think it sucks. I'm glad that the upper management in the organization did not bring him onto the team... I'd just as soon see him fade away...

If he's serious about it he's smokin crack. He claims he doesn't think about any outside interferance just that Bonds would provide protection for Pujols.....
Yeah right, you only think about on field play huh? Where's Scott Rolen? Or David Eckstein?? Why did Brendan Ryan get a raw deal last year??
I think he did it knowing full well the Cardinals were not willing to pay Bonds, or Clemens for that matter, what they're going to demand so he does it as a jab to reporters or whoever this guy thinks he's sticking it to.
Personally I don't thin it's funny.
Can you imagine how big his uniform would be? He'd need 4 birds on the bat!!

Weaver is a bad idea, dude had a chance. I don't like that he ran for the money as soon as we revive his career. He coulda stayed here and been a huge fan favorite and helped tremendously last year. Now it'd be like taking back a bad boyfriend/girlfriend.
That being said, we do need more pitching so I don't know. If they do it, I won't object too much, but if they don't I won't be mad

Just think what two full years under Duncan's instruction could have done for his career and marketability. Pitching is where we're hurting and he responded to Duncan before.

It felt good to hear mike shannon on the radio today. Even tho we lost, big (10-2), with the snow on the ground but baseball on the radio even a loss was nice to hear.
And Colby Rasmus went yard today
