Any baseball fans here?

[mathfa]

The first spring games are only three days away!!! I've been missing watching my hapless Orioles lose

Anyone else here excited for the new season?

I'm a Tigers/ Dodgers fan. I use to sit and watch baseball with my grandfather when I was a little girl. I remember him listening to the game on his radio when he was working in his garden or sitting outside.

Ummm Well Even Batman has to root for his team that is not in Gotham City.

@Funtastic curves That's awesome, the memories are part of the fun of the game.
Also, Tigers/Dodgers? You got polar opposite teams there

@Joker How about that Yu Darvish trade?

We got rid of him just in time.

My girlfriend is a Red Sox fan, I'm an Orioles fan, so the rivalry is fun

We get to hate the Yankees together.

I hate the Nats, cause they ain't the 'Spos, I live in Toronto, and plan to take in some Jays games if/when they ever come back, but I'm from Ottawa and cheering for Toronto teams is still icky to me. I'd possibly be open to the Jays, and maybe Toronto FC, but nothing else. Ever.

When the Expos left, I couldn't bring myself to cheer for another National League team. I chose the Red Sox since I could get the games, and after the 2004 regular season was over I figured since they hadn't won in 86 years it wouldn't be like jumping on the bandwagon. Go figure, they won right away.

(I would have been cheering for them during that 2004 ALCS comeback anyways even if the Expos weren't moving, seeing the Yanks blow the 3-0 series lead was damn sweet.)

I will say I have nothing but fond memories of Expos games at Olympic Stadium, but the concrete monstrosity is as ugly and uncomfortable as it looks. When it was packed though, it was awesome.

i am so sorry. They run such a good Twitter account but they’ve been getting dunked on for the Arenado trade. I get what that feels like given we sent Betts to the Dodgers

They should be getting dunked on for that trade! Rockies fans need to revolt the way the Kansas City Chiefs fans did in the 2012 season. The result was Andy Reid and the best stretch in Chiefs franchise history from 2013 through the present. The Rockies benefit from a few things though. Despite running a lousy baseball operation the team is a perennial top-10 powerhouse in attendance. Why? Because Coors Field and the surrounding LoDo neighborhood are so incredibly awesome that even though the team sucks the ball park is just such a great place to be. As long as they keep filling that stadium nothing is going to change. The fans complain but enough people keep rewarding the team by showing up to games that the message will never get through!

its on my list if ballparks to visit towards the top. I hope the Rockies get better. They don’t have enough pieces in the farm system atm.

I don't know much about MLB but I love baseball. I'm very sad this year's local A and AA baseball season was supposed to start this weekend but there will not going to happen.
