Ok, so the Cubs Opening Day isn't until Friday, but Opening Day for some other teams is..........TOMORROW! Yay! Baseball is finally here! I've suffered through a hideous Blues season and I've finally made it to my #1 sport. Thank you, baseball gods.
Do I have high expectations for my Cubbies this year?Meh....probably not. But....maybe. I'm telling you, I am loving myself some Mike Quade. I think he's going to make the most of the mediocre players he has (save for a few that I'd actually consider good. Very few.). And if all else fails, Carlos Pena, Aramis Ramirez, Sean Marshall and Tyler Colvin are all hot....so there's that.
I look forward to chatting with my blog buddies, both on here and on Facebook. I look forward to yelling at the team I've loved for 20+ years now (the "f" word comes out of my mouth a lot during the course of the baseball season). I look forward to having a heart attack every time Carlos Marmol is pitching. I look forward to my trip to Wrigley in July-knocking off an item from my Bucket List by sitting in the bleachers. I look forward to an inevitable meltdown from Carlos "I'm Cured" Zambrano. I look forward to Starlin Castro becoming a superstar in MLB. I look forward to seeing the Cardinals not be good (sorry fam and friends, no offense...it's just the truth. Not that the Cubs will be any better, mind you). I look forward to trips to Busch Stadium, eating those FABULOUS hotdogs and drinking some fine AB products. I love, love, LOVE baseball!
In other news, I think I've been conned into cheering for the Vancouver Canucks during the NHL playoffs. More on this story as it develops.
