@Greek McPapadopoulos: Yeah, at least the guy is a damn Marlins fan.

If you're not a Marlins fan, you don't understand what its like to reacquaint yourself with your team every three years. Lot of reading the Miami Herald is involved.

There's no way anyone would call someone else's boss over something written on Deadspin...

@crazyjoedavola: No, the Washington Nationals knocked the Mets out last year. Two killer series, and then the Nats bent over and took it from the Phillies. It was a happy time in our nation's capital.

Actually, the Mets are the ones who really knocked out the Mets last year.

Nothing soothes the soul on a Wednesday afternoon like the disenfranchised spirit of a Marlins fan. I'm going to go youtube some Ralph Nader to cheer me up.

If nobody actually shows up to view a team's games, does a pre-season discussion of those games and their possible outcomes constitute a "preview"?

@Chamomiles Davis: Maybe we can get one Philly team in the dance, but it'll take at least one more win.

Go Wildcats!

That was an amazing second half by 'Nova. They more than doubled their points from the first half, which made Chamomiles a very happy man. Rumor has it Isiah Thomas was running down to the Wildcats locker room at MSG with fresh contracts clutched in his hands.

As the t-shirts on campus used to read, "Syracuse Sucks and Georgetown Swallows." Bring on the Hoyas!

All the stuff the Marlins ownership does, and you're just now reaching your breaking point?

Having won the same number of World Series titles in the last 89 years as the Red Sox will do that to a fanbase.

This post did remind me of what it was like in the post-1993 Selig-Prieb-owned era of Milwaukee baseball. In a word, hopelessness.

Brewers fever, catch it!

(not to be confused with the Cryptosporidium outbreak of 1993)

I like baseball team previews that are written solely to discuss fantasy projections of players on that team. Really says alot about the outlook of that organization.

I'll never understand why teams in southern states put retractable roofs on their stadiums while I'll be freezing my ass off during the World Series* at the new Twins stadium.

*not really - I meant in April
