Countdown to Opening Day

[sspadowsky]

Baseball is just 13 short days away. I pay only enough attention to March Madness to know when it is ending, as it is the final hurdle before baseball makes its glorious return. As weather in St. Louis this winter has been more like Ireland than Ireland, the promise of springtime and baseball gives me a boner of happiness.

I think the Cardinals are going to fall on their faces, seeing how their pitching staff is made up of castoffs and amputees, but they surprised everyone in 2006, so I will watch them with the requisite dumb hope that comes with team fandom. I will also root for every conceivable misfortune to befall the Yankees.

Who do you like this year?
