Well, the NHL season is winding down... And while it was a fun season...the Ducks are essentially done, as are the Jets (though obviously for you guys, it's a winning season no matter what, and you're soaking that until the final horn!) So, while the NHL playoffs rage and I hope the Red Wings or Kings don't win and make the offseason even more miserable for me... MLB Baseball is back, starting tonight, Cardinals/Marlins! And Opening Day is the day after that! And my pride and joy, my beloved New York Mets are...are gonna...ummm... Probably fall flat on their face and it'll be a miracle if they don't lose 90+ games. BUT baseball is back, and even still, that's reason to celebrate! (Baseball and Hockey complement each other so well...basketball takes scoring for granted, but baseball and hockey fans appreciate it, they know how important each goal and each run is!) SO! Favorite teams? Predictions? Who's gonna win it all? Batter up!

Red Sox fan since birth right here in Yankee country....saw a game up at Fenway in 2009. We won 6-0 over KC, Beckett with a three-hitter. I typically catch a PawSox game every year, either at Scranton (who's the Empire State Yankees, playing in Upstate NY this year), or Lehigh Valley. (Interesting note, the IronPigs were supposed to be called the Porkchops, but the Portuguese community in ABE took offense to the name, since apparently that's the derogatory term for a Portuguese person.)
Anywho I hope to at least get back in the playoffs and forget about last year.

Twins fan, born and raised. I do have interest on several MLB teams. I do like Oakland, St. Louis, Milwaukee, Kansas City, The Chicago Cubs, LA Dodgers, and now, the Miami Marlins (Go Ozzie!). I'm not a fan of the Yankees, Red Sox, or the Indians.
Hopefully the 2012 Twins can stay healthy enough to make things interesting until August, if not later. If they would quit this smug allegiance to "The Twins Way," of defense and hitting to the opposite field and just go out and play the game, they might be better off. We'll have to wait and see what happens.

Go Rays! I've been a fan for as long as I can remember, back in the 90's with the bright colourful Devil Rays logo, loved that logo.
I follow the team almost religiously and I was laughed at in '08 when I said they were going to be a heck of a team. This year is the year!
I also like the Jays, and I'm hoping they can pick up a wild card spot this year. Even if the MLB's playoff brackets are stupid beyond belief.
