Four little words...

...that bring so much joy.

Pitchers and catchers report.

The Giants opened spring training yesterday.

So, how many days until the first recorded instance this season of a Cubs fan saying "Wait 'til next year!"?

I give it a week. Ten days, tops. ;-)

(At that, Cubs fans are better off than Montreal Expos fans [all seven of them]. They're wondering, "Will there be a next year?")

I mean this most sincerely, and most politely, go soak your head. :-)

The Cubs fan from Down Under who lives 15 minutes from the Friendly Confines.

Care to put some money where your misguided faith is?

$20 on the team with the best record at the end of the regular season.

Hey, I'm game. $20 says the Redbirds will rule the regular season roost.

To heck with Lasorda bleeding Dodgers Blue. I can prove that I bleed Cardinals Red (although, for reasons which should be obvious, I prefer to keep this to a minimum...;-). I even named my NationStates (http://www.nationstates.net) UN member state Musialstan (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=musialstan), with a pennant to match.

Any other NL fans want to get their money down? No AL, they don't play real baseball.

Calm down, after all you have Dusty Baker now. The man who pulled Russ Ortiz in game 6, and let Livan Hernandez pitch game 7.

You want me to calm down with that info??? I'll see what happens... I suspect more of the same, with a chance of a better season than last season.
