Really? Pitch f/x is the only way to live it man.
And Cubs GAF, it's ON. I prayed hard to my satanic alter last night and the magic is back for the fifth year running. Also the projected win variance for the Cubs is super high according to Grantland meaning that they will need a lot to go right to be up there in September but if even a few things go poorly, they'll sink pretty quick. Should be fun to watch the Centrals this year.
Probably the second most popular team in Canada behind the Jays. However some of the people who proclaim themselves as fans know very little about the team.

Personally I hate the pitchtrax (what they call it in Canada for Jays games). I'll flip over to another feed in hopes I don't have to put up with it. I tell Canadians it's basically the equivalent of the 90s when the NHL started colouring the puck for American audiences. It's distracting and stupid as the strikezone varies from umpire to umpire.

Really, I thought it'd be more closely aligned geographically to the nearest team south of the border. Red Sox popular in the Maritimes, Mariners popular in BC, etc. (other than the Jays of course)
Yankees are going to capture a lot of casual fans simply because of who they are. Kind of like the Cowboys.
However with that you get a bunch of fans who know very little outside of watching a few games and buying some merchandise.

I'm guessing SN has a deal with the YES network to show any of their games. During the season SNW shows a lot of Dodger games, so it's probably just whatever deals they work out with the various regional broadcasters.

Yay baseball. Boo to the stupid fucking drama in the fantasy baseball threads on yahoo. Jesus Christ I get a new email each time something is posted. Its the worst. The worst.
Turn off the feature on your team page.

I think also the fact that it hasn't even started yet and there is a ton of negativity is shit. But yes I did turn it off after waking up to 8 yahoo emails.

Nats-Dodgers face off to see who can choke the most. Winner goes on to lose to STL in the LCS.

The blindness of ChicagoCubsFan makes my day whenever he posts positive things.
It will be rough to watch his happy baseball soul get crushed this season. Nothing ever goes right for the Cubs. Oh to be an innocent new Cubs fan and not understand the pessimism involved with the team.
Cubs really need to put Murphy's law on one of those ugly things they decide to put in the "new" bleachers.

As a Cards fan, I'd be more than happy to buy you an Old Style draft during a game at Wrigley.
I'll admit, its gonna be tough to go against my lifelong hate of the Cubs to not root for their success here. Club is stocked w/ talent.
Sadly, you can't buy Old Style at Wrigley anymore. It's all Bud products now. There's maybe 1 vendor in the whole place that sells it. Not sure if they updated the agreement from last year.

100 years of failure means nothing with the present team.
Kris Bryant + Joe Maddon is going to be fun for the next 10 years.

I quite like this idea.
Said that with Lou's team, said it with Dusty's, said it in 84'.
You'll learn. It hurts the first time, but you'll learn.

I don't know what's more amusing: chicagocubsfan's unbridled optimism or your unwillingness to believe in your team because they're the Cubs lol
That franchise is in better shape than it has been in a long, long time.

Yankee council. our wayward son, Alexander Emmanuel Rodriguez is back and ready to prove doubters wrong. his glorious power and intoxicating zest for Baseball shall infect the rest of the New York Yankees and lead them to our rightful place atop the baseball world!
they've doubted the council brothers. they said we don't post enough, that we have constant bickering and infighting. that I've had attempts on my life daily, that Kev tried to ban us all and bring in carpetbaggers.
none of this could be further from the truth. the council is strong, Yankee fandom is stronger than ever, CC is back to eating captain crunch, Tanaka's arm is strong, Gregorious shall be glorious. there will be many Tex messages this season and the trapper keeper will guide our manager into making the right decisions. the A-bombs from A-Rod shall rain down on our hated opponents and all will be humbled by the return of the empire.
LET'S GO YANKEES!!! *clap clap clap clap*

Can't wait for the Jays to have their mid-May surge.
It won't lead anywhere, and injuries/a lack of depth/bad luck will sink them by July, but I'm looking forward to that brief period when it seems like the longest playoffs-less streak in North America might have a chance of coming to an end. I'm not allowing myself to get sucked in this year, but it'll still be nice to see good, quality baseball for a few weeks before the inevitable mediocrity sinks in.
Anyone want to share their predicted standings?

They will be fun to watch, but he doesn't realize how hard it is to win a championship. I believe in Theo, and I believe they can make the playoffs next season when everyone is settled and expectations drop again. Everyone forgets that we're in STL divsion, and PIT is good again. The Royals proved you just have to get to the dance, we're still too young to do it, and Lester isn't an ace, all Red Sox fans know this to be true. Lester was signed to win in the playoffs, gotta get there first.
Prediction: Arrieta will have a better statistical season than Lester this year.
e: can we please bury "go cubs go" too? shit is so stupid.
