Spring training is just around the corner.
Ever since 1987 I've had my heart torn to shreds from April until September.
There have been times where I've been convinced that the hemorraging will stop, that this year will be the year that they turn it around.
Twice I have vowed to just stop, to swear off my allegiance and never watch them again.
Twice I've seen my favorites shipped off, once for nothing, once for the "future".
Yet I still cheer.
Those around me who enjoy the sport ridicule who I cheer for, but I don't mind.
1984. Nearly 20 years ago. I can still remember how much fun it was watching what few games I saw on the TV. I was 7, going on 8.
If I knew then what heartbreak one fateful day in 1983 would bring, after I saw a picture of #1 and #3, I still wouldn't stop it from happening.
Pitchers and catchers have reported.

The Hall of Fame voting committeeis run by a bunch of sportswriters who are poopyheads who should be flogged for not having #1 & #3 in the Hall already.

I have a healthy respect for goons. I just don't like it when the entire team plays like a goon. It gives the good goons like my Scott Parker a bad name. I like people who've got some scrap, but you can be big and tough without being mean and dumb, as Rob Blake proves.
