    We just started planning our Peoria, AZ trip, to watch the lowly Seattle M's. This is our 12th year in a row. Can't wait!

    Love the desert in the Spring.

    I have a winter home about 20 minutes south of Fort Myers. Never been, but I do plan on going to see a game at the new Fenway South. I heard its a great park.

    Canadians should have a very good reason for excitement this year!!

    Very interested in how the Jays will do this coming year. Should be exciting.

    I was thinking just this thing today while I was watching the broadcast of the WVU-Syracuse game at NYS.

    We shall see what happens with the Jays .

    The Sox tried that with a whole bunch of prima donnas and it did not work out very well.

    Sometimes 25 players, with attitudes in 25 different cabs going someplace, just don't seem to arrive at the same place at the same time.

    At least we get the Astros a few times this year, that should help

    I'm certainly getting excited! About a week away I'm always pretty anxious!

    Best time of year. My birthday is March 1st and my office is 3 miles from the Phillies and about 4 miles to the Blue Jays.

    February 28th is Braves at Phillies and March 1st is Rays at Jays. Can't wait!

    They did win two WS recently. That strikes me as working out pretty well.

    Yes, they did win 2 world series but it was after that that they went crazy signing all the prima donna's which did not work out at all.

    November through mid February must be a very lonely time for hard core baseball fans.

    Of course the same thing can be said from early February through the end of July for hardcore football fans.

    Basketball and Hockey. Who cares.

    I'm still in "the jury is out mode". I have no clue (nor do the Red Sox) what the starting lineup is gonna be this year. I suspect more deals are in the works.

    I think I'm more curious at this point than excited. Could well be the Fenway sell-out streak is in danger. Don't forget, uber-toad will be pitching...aka John Lackey. Farrel might be the bright spot, but we'll see.

    Happy New Year guys.
