I'm here,sonny!And yes,I'm very excited over the new season.
I'm really happy to see Chipper Jones extended for three years,with the possibility of an option year in 2013 to end his career with the Braves.As much grief we Mets fans give this guy....he's always been a true professional and most worthy adversary.He loved the give and take with Mets fans....and named one of his sons after Shea Stadium,and bought some momentos from Shea before it was torn down.A great player and guy who I'm happy to see will be a lifetime Brave.
I am glad you wrote that, I always considerd Chipper to be a class act. Even when the Braves were the Mets biggest enemies, Chipper always said great things aboiut playing in NY and the fans.
Speaking of the Braves, do you feal as I do that they are going to make a come back this year and give the Phillies fits and fight it out for second place behind the Mets.? 
/QUOTE]Chipper and his interactions with the Mets fans makes things fun!
I have read about the Braves resurgent farm system and it does worry me a bit.Not immediately necessarily....the players have to learn and grow and who knows if they will live up to the hype.But the Mets CANNOT rest on their laurels having earned no playoff appearances the past two seasons and the Phillies will remain tough.I have faith we have enough on the major league roster and on the farm to remain competitive for the forseeable future.But I don't dismiss Atlanta at all and the Mets I'm certain will not either.The mark of a championship team is one that will never stop trying to get better,and the Mets haven't even proven themselves good enough to be a championship team to assume anything but the need to go at it 100% to give the Mets fans something to be proud of.
Your a Nats fan???
Oh you poor baby 
I am confident that my favorite team will
not finish in third place in the AL East this season as they did last season and I am equally confident that my hometown team will once again finish in last place in the NL East.
Good luck to everyone's favorite team.
(New) Yankee Stadium as viewed from the pressbox.
It's really impressive and gorgeous...has everything and more you could imagine in a baseball stadium.I really respect the players and tradition but I can't really feel good rooting for the Yanks because the club has taken so much from the txpayer in largely funding the stadium with interest fee loans,keep coming back for more and dors shit for the average fan.Luxury boxes,high cost of most seats and concesssions are a ripoff.No break for the little guy except a few crumbs thrown here and there.In these tough economic times,the Yanks may have their best of everything cathedral.....but risk losing the hearts of many New York area fans who will be much harder pressed to go see their Yanks play.
Though rooting for Boston,while similarly respecting their talent and the way they play isn't an option for geographic loyalty reasons.They are staying in a somewhat renovated Fenway though and not looking to milk the taxpayers and loyal average fans so that is something to consider.
Don't sell the Nats short,flyingfree.It's early....everyone has a right to dream and they could surprise.
Lets go Nats.......
