Well, for those who don't know, I'm a HUGE baseball fan I'm also a huge hockey fan, but I love baseball.

So has anyone else been following spring training? Anyone else psyched up for the start of the regular season? Baseball isn't huge here, Canada of course only has the one MLB team, but thankfully they're local and I frequent all the games for work

Anyone planning on attending any home openers? A friend of mine scored a bunch of Yankees vs. Blue Jays season opener tickets for Yankees Stadium... I really want to go if I'm okay with traveling. Two of my favourite teams... you can't go wrong with that!

You may note by my avatar I'm a rabid Brewers fan.

No home opener for me, as my team is now 4 hours away from where I live, but I *am* going to a game with a bunch of friends at the end of April, so I'm looking forward to that.

The Brewers beat writer for the Milwaukee paper is maintaining a spring training blog, so I follow along, yeah.

If they can keep half their pitchers healthy and the other half from sucking horribly, it's gonna be the Crew's year!

Lol baseball is uber boring, I think.

I love baseball

ledge why would you have a problem with traveling? Didnt you just get back from Germany?

<font color="purple">Hehe, I'm not a big sports fan unless I'm playing them, but everyone else seems to love baseball were I live. My dad is a huge Yankee's fan, and my brother is a big Blue Jays fan. </font>

Ah, I don't follow NL much... I'm an AL guy. Good to follow spring training though!

Yep, did get back from Germany- it murdered my shoulder and I'm not eager to try that little escapade again. Although, for the sake of baseball, maybe murdering my shoulder again wouldn't be too bad I'm probably going to skip town while my brother's in court as a distraction- what better way to distract then a day at the ballpark with family, I figured?

Oo, must have some rivalry in your home, Kaika! My girlfriend is a Red Sox/Jays fan and I root for the Yankees/Jays/Indians... so we debate Red Sox/Yankees a lot.

<font color="purple">It's funny you say that because my step-mom is a Red Socks fan, whenever a RecSocks/Yankees game is on, they call eachother every time their team has a run, it's really funny </font>

Wherever Yankee and Red Sox fans meet, rivalry is sure to follow! One of my best friends is a die-hard Red Sox fan... he refuses to be seen with me in public if I wear my Yankees cap

<font color="purple">They are like that too, but only joking (instead of being super-serious) </font>

LOL, good natured baseball rivalry is always nice... it just gets taken very far

Plus I always tease my friends with Red Sox jokes
