Just felt that I had to express my happiness of the start of baseball season! Respond or not, just felt it had to be said. :)

Of course President Bush is throwing the opening pitch here in Cincinnati so it kind of messes with my glee. I'm just glad I'm not going to have to deal with the extra security at the ballpark just for the pleasure of Dubya being there. :p

It may be the opening pitch, but if it's the opening pitch at a Reds' game, then who cares anyway?

Yeah, the Reds are going to suck yet again this year. They lost to the Cubs 16-7. The start of a great season. :p

Luckily as a Red Sox fan I could care less about the Reds and at least Boston won today. :)

Tigers won today! And the bullpen (The HUGE weakness of last season) allowed a single hit in 3 innings of relief.

Granted, it was against the Royals, but it's a start!

Beating the Royals is a starting point eh? Aiming pretty low.

We've suffered through losing seasons for the past 10 years. We need to think positive.

With Chicago and Cleveland in your division it will be difficult. Third though isn't too bad right?

Yeah...we don't expect much.

If we had only stayed at Tiger Stadium...

it's the TIGERS. If they aim much higher they'll just shoot themselves in the chin.

Yeah right. We may be sad and desperate Tigers' fans, but we're still Tigers' fans.

They'll eventually get better. it may take half a century, but it'll happen.

We hope.

I WAS AT THE METS GAME TODAY!!!!

The atmosphere was electric, it was crazy, complete with a fistfight, a car catching fire in the parking lot, fireworks, DAVID WRIGHT, and lots of beer flowing(although not for me, im still too young). It was one of the best baseball games i've been too.

The Mets are unseating the braves for the NL East title!!!

This year I'll probably do my patriotic duty and cheer on the Blue Jays. I stilll love the Brew Crew too, though.
