It's back ... and despite my allegiance to a turd of a franchise, I am pumped that baseball is back. I am going to Citi Field to catch the Mets-Nationals game on Friday.

Who else is ready???

Worse time of the year for me. Baseball is America's "past time" for a reason. I'm not trying to see this on SportsCenter all day for 7 months. It will only get worse once basketball season is over.

I'm just glad we get to kick off the season tonight with the Yankees and Red Sox. The first of about 300 games ESPN will televise involving at least one of the two teams.

Yeah once the NBA playoffs are over, it's pointless to watch sportscenter until football starts up. Just a long snoozefest.

I hope so! (he's on my fantasy team) ... My bold prediction for this year: .290, 26 HR, 92 RBI

I'm pumped! Even though I'm a Low-rates fan. :(

Which means I'm like CinciX12...except for me, it's just "I love April. Don't talk to me in May."

Good game tonight. 9-7 Red Sox lead in the bottom of the 8th, Youk and Pedroia getting it done for Boston. Great night for baseball here, great to have it back.
