Spring training starts in 40 days. I can't wait. I was just wondering who the favorite team is on here.

Sorry I didn't put down the Indians or a few favorites. I tried to put mostly midwest teams, and a few that are popular all over.
 
Cardinals all the way. I'm curious to see how this Rolen for Glaus trade works out. I think it's a matter of which player comes off of surgery better. I'm about 60% sure that Rolen will never get back to his pre-injury self, but the other part of me fears he will be back with avengence this year for the Jays.
 
I have lost so much respect for baseball, it's very disheartening. This used to be by far m favorite sport. After the big strike though, I just lost more and more interest. Now, the fact that our government is involved in their whole HGH/steroid issue, it just makes me care even less. Honestly, if my tax dollars could be put to better use, I'd rather baseball fold all together.

Sorry to rain on your guys' parade here. I don't mean to do that so much. It's just that I am really depressed as to what baseball has come to. I don't have a favorite team at all anymore, but, where I live it's all Cubs and Sox. I'm sure it will be an intersting year.
 
Cardinals since I was about 5 years old. I just want to know when they're going to get some pitchers that aren't always hurt and or don't suck.

So do you like any sports? college? high school? They are all dealing with the same issue. Baseball is just getting the brunt of it...
 
Scotty Rolen was one of my favorite players, but I think the Cards got the better end of the deal Salary Cap wise. This is supposed to be a rebuilding year for the cards, but I think their hitting will be there, considering Yadier Molina is always improving, Ryan Ludwick has pretty good power, Ankiel is a good all around player, and there's albert. I am a little worried about the pitching staff now though.

Wait, are you saying Kip Wells was NOT a good signing?! You sir, are in the wrong! Just kidding...that was the worst pitching performance (for the entire season) that I have ever seen. I could not believe the Cards kept trotting him out there when he was 1-10, 2-13 or whatever! He drove me insane because he would pitch 2 innings, give up 9 runs then in the post-game interview he'd be like "I felt like I had good stuff today, just missed with a few pitches and gave up some key walks" Are you insane?! Sorry for the rant :wink:

I have the same fear. Glaus' numbers look a lot like pre-battered Rolen, so I'm a hopeful that the Cards can come out ahead in this trade. I wish Rolen nothing but the best in Toronto.

Added Matt Clement this offseason. Probably going to be a bust. I'm somewhat hopeful he'll be back to form. I will enjoy watching Wainwright continue to improve. Mostly I can't wait for Carpenter to return (may not happen until September). I have zero expectations that Mulder will ever be serviceable for us again. We'll find out in May if he's worth anything.
 
I am a Red Sox fan, Green Bay Packer fan, and Phoenix Suns fan. Right now I got a World Series this year. My Packers are favored to go to the Superbowl, and PHoenix still has Nash. Now if the Clones can get there crap together I will be GTG. Just to let everyone know. I own the state of Colorado this year.\

Red Sox Sweep the Rockies
Packers Beat the Bronco's on MNF at Denver in Overtime
Clones whip the Buffs in Football.

I kind of feel the same. However, I think (hope) Clement will do good things. I think since he's younger he's got a great chance of getting back to his old form.

I don't know what the deal with Mulder is. The guy was a stud and now it's like he's forgotten who he was. I know he's been hurt, but his case seems like a big mental thing too. What I don't understand is how guys like him go through extensive rehab and then come back only to realize they're still injured. Are these guys just pushing themselves to get back too quickly?
