With pitchers and catchers reporting to camps today, it's officially the start of the 2020 Season!!

The Long Dark is over.

I am so excited for this season. I love baseball more then football. my mom and I watch the Reds together and it really brings us closer. The Reds made some off season moves this year. Dont know if it will be enough to get them over the hump but they are trying. it is good to see a Cincinnati team try after years of watching The Bengals half ass it.

I’m 61, and baseball has always been my first sports love, so yeah, I’m ready for the new season. My Phillies has pitchers and catchers report yesterday with a new manager (Joe Girardi), a pricey free agent acquisition (Zack Wheeler) and a full preseason for Bryce Harper as position players report over the weekend. Can’t wait for baseball!

What do y'all think about the Astros apology?

What do y'all think about the Astros apology?

I thought it was lame and contrived, like players were sorry for having been caught rather than for having cheated to win. That’s my opinion.

I love how the owner said that their cheating didnt effect the outcomes of any games. WTF!

Astros fans who follow the team on road trips would be advised to leave their hats, jerseys and related paraphernalia home this season, otherwise they could face hostile crowds in other ballparks.

The most incompetent attempt at a press conference I can every recall. Utter disaster.

I'm a die hard baseball fan, but the sport has already died. We're going to watch it try to gasp back to life but it won't be long before it's national prominence is completely gone. Probably in our lifetimes. A scandal like this generated some attention, but not even all that much outrage among fans. That's not a terribly good sign.

People said baseball died after a work stoppage cancelled the 1994 World Series. People say baseball died at the height of the steroid scandal in the early 2010's. People have been throwing dirt on baseball's grave for the longest time, but, like Dracula, the sport refuses to die, and since it's my very first sports love, I'm happy for that. While football is top dog in terms of popularity, baseball is number one in my book, and the Cheatstros scandal won't diminish that love.
