So many jumped on the A's (Canseco/McGwire) bandwagon that year, felt pretty good that 1st morning of school. Around here it's usually Braves fans, like yourself, or the Reds, I was always the oddball...only time I could get to see the Dodgers was when they played either the Braves or the Cubs (WGN or TBS) and occasionally game of the week on a Saturday.

Loved watching "this week in baseball" (TWIB) as Mel Allen would say "How 'bout that"!

Lol, "This Week in Baseball" wow. That's great memories for sure.
Mel Allen......they'll never be another.

What do you guys think about the crew on the MLB Channel? Sometimes I enjoy them, sometimes I wish they'd shut up and let me watch the clips.

[MacLaren]

Ya know, I very rarely get to watch mlb channel.
But, I can surely empathize with you.
I can surely see how they could be very annoying.

The Harold Reynold's constant ego rub is tiresome but I do enjoy it. Love Pedro! I had no idea what a character he was while he was playing but he cracks me up.

[MacLaren]

I do however try to watch High Heat w/ Christopher Russo ( Mad Dog )

I am the exact opposite of a baseball fan. I consider myself a baseball foe. I started a club called “Move the Orioles” but thus far I’m the only member. Sometimes when you’re right you’re by yourself.

That made me laugh!

As a Dad and coach who is on a ball field with a glove on my hand probably 5 days a week, I’m very glad baseball is back, I could give a crap about March madness!

I’m 53, grew up a diehard Big Red Machine fan, Johnny Bench is still my childhood hero, but that mid-seventies roster is still probably one of the top three lineups in baseball history!

My daughter is a senior in HS this year, she’s committed to play college softball at a D2 program in Greenville, SC this next coming year. I helped coach our HS to a 3A State Championship last year, and my daughter has played all over the East coast in travel ball for the last five years, we’ve got the hotel thing down to a science!

I grew up a baseball guy, was a very good player, having said that, I’ll take women’s fastpitch over baseball everyday of the week, it’s just a way faster more exciting game, especially at the level I get to see on a weekly basis!

The Josh Donaldson interview that was on there awhile back was awesome! I linked that interview to every girl and their Dad on our team, best free hitting lesson I’ve ever seen, I saved it to my favorites!

I know it is still early, but which team looks the best, so far?

[TkoK83Spy]

I'd say my Brewers :cool:

Phillies and Rays are playing great as well.

[Doc Dan]

I am astonished that the Phillies and Rays are doing so well this early. All of my favs are in the middle of the pack. Still, it is early, yet.

[TkoK83Spy]

I think the Angels are going to learn that locking up a superstar to an ABSURD contract...isn't going to make them any better and will likely be detrimental to their growth for years to come. Takes more than 1 player in baseball to carry a team. It's not the NBA!

[MacLaren]

I'm not so suprised about the Phils.
Not with Harper on the team now.
But.....and, it's a BIG BUT lol.
April. Its just April.

[TkoK83Spy]

That's like the random Mets fans around here...always so excited in April, like last year when they started out 12-1 or something like that, and then...their the Mets :p

Though I think this year they could be much better and maybe compete for the division if the Phillies don't run away with it.

Dam. I've watched a lot of baseball. Played a lot too.
And, that is prolly the nastiest stuff I've ever seen.
To do what it does at 99mph+ .....you wouldn't stand a chance lol

[James Y]

I only hope the Padres start winning more consistently.
