Is it Spring Training yet?

1. Why bother? Is your team trying to throw the MVP off the roster?

Mine is. Go Marlins (well sort of). If Jeter gives away the whole team, I'm out.

2. MY team is the BATAVIA MUCKDOGS,

Short A for the marlins.

3. Mines done for years.

Just happy that Verlander got a ring.

Rest is bs. I'm done.

5. The Marlins have proven

they can dismantle a WS winning team win again. Twice. That was always amazing to me.

6. Hey, we have a ton of young prospects you can watch develop

The Marlins sold 15k tickets per game with the MVP hitting home runs almost every other day...

The previous owner poisoned the water in that market, so I can't be mad about the fans lack of interest... but Giancarlo would look great in a birds on the bat jersey

So, Mr Stanton...

Come to the Lou and play in front of 43k on a Wednesday night or 40k on a businessman's special Thursday afternoon.

Contend every year.

Bank that cash and be the hero to a rabid fan base that cares about baseball, come to the Lou

4. 78 days until pitchers and catchers report

7. We have nasty cold rain that doesn't end.

Snow will probably show up soon.

I wish spring training was starting soon. That would mean this nightmare called "fall and winter in the PNW/Lower mainland of BC" would be ending.

8. Most teams report on the 13th of Feb.

the rest report on the 14th, so 75 days for the Cards!
