I enjoy baseball enough to listen to a Royals/Rays game on the radio on a Tuesday night. Usually come the end of November or beginning of December up until the middle of February I go through some serious baseball withdrawals. This year, those withdrawals came early. Anyone else have this delima?

I miss baseball terribly. I love having a game on in the background, checking the stats constantly to monitor my half dozen fantasy teams...sigh.
Now with the stupid writers strike there is going to be nothing to watch on tv! Guess Ill have to go back to Pokerstars! oh well.
Of course I was in the finals of the Football pool with 41 points. Not going to happen.
Okay, bring on Spring Training!!

Maybe that's it, the Red Sox are in my blood and I need a fix. Although I am not from New England, my Mom was born and raised in Haverhill, MA, so the Red Sox are part of the family tradition. Having won twice in the last 4 years, I don't know what to do with myself. Don't get me wrong, I am following all the trials and tribulations of the off season - but I sure could use a ball game.
I am looking forward to Spring Training in Fort Meyers already!

Me, too...

The cost is about $20 , you select players from the past, and compete against other people who form the full simulated league. Stats are provided, as well as daily boxscores and updates.
It's not for everyone, but usually true baseball fanatics enjoy it and participate. A full computer season of 162 games takes about 8 weeks to finish.
A fun way to research a few non-superstar players, and organize/manage a facsimile baseball team.
simnasium.com is probably my favorite, however, there are many other providers, who may be found through sources like The Sporting News or MLB.

not the slightest bit.
As i heard on the radio today there are only 2 seasons--Football season, and and waiting for football season.

THey just need to show some old games on espn classic every now and then and throw us a bone. And i mean old games, not 80 to present day stuff.

<< <i>I'm glad baseball season is over so I finally get to wake up out of my "fan hibernation" to watch some real sports. >>
Ya
Even with those thoughts, I still collect only vintage baseball because that era of baseball is still special for me.

If anything, I think they should shorten the season to 148 games. Obviously, this will never happen for financial reasons. That way, we can enjoy an actual Fall classic in early-mid October instead of pushing early November. Hey, maybe they can even have day baseball in the playoffs, what a novel concept that would be...
Basketball is my first love and this time of year I really enjoy the beginning of the hoops season at the elementary school, middle school, high school [my oldest son is playing his first year of high school hoops and in a game last night got 13 rebounds], college and pro.
The Warriors play in my neck of the woods and I expect that Don Nelson will have the W's playing an uptempo, fast breaking, three point shooting brand of ball the entire season before sell out crowds at the home arena.
I like the NFL, but I don't feel bad if I miss some games as I could always go to the local maximum security prison and watch guys with similar personality traits, if not see former NFL players themselves.
NBA was a great product in the past, but that has come and gone as well.
It's either that, or going to my local minor league hocky game. That's great, too, and you get to see fights!
games. I go to a few local Class A farm club games but I don't get into it much more than that.

your sox need to rest and recuperate this year...
take some time off, then NEXT year they can win another title.
baby steps. baby steps!
p.s.
a prolonged losing streak would ensure I could get discount tix from work for $5 the day of the game... (and yes, you can come too)

Tell ya what Leo, maybe we can take a game in at Fenway this year when the Tribe come to town! We could make it fun like the loser of the game pays for the beers!
sounds like a deal Paul.
Can't wait! and Just about all the angels home games will be in HD this year! WooHoo!
