Looking forward to the season starting now that my UConn girls got knocked out last night.

^^^Yeah, I couldn't believe they got beat.

Glad the regular season is hours away now. Just wish it didn't start in the baseball's worst stadium. Hate that place in Tampa and can't even stand watching games televised from that hole.

Yeah that place is a dump, when I lived in Florida I went to a game there and it was horrible. They give away 5 dollar tickets, how sad is that.

Tropicana is now what the Kingdome was in Seattle, a real shithole. Noticing that 3 of the Yankees "Poor Four" in the line up can at least hold their own so the six remaining good guy will carry the team.

 

[Lillie]

You are true to your word Michael, a real shit hole is what it is thank god I moved back to NY.

 

[Lillie]

It's almost time, now I'm sure most of you are staying in to watch the game. I just want to know what you will be snacking on. I'm waiting for the grouch to get up and then I will decide.

 

[Messiah717]

Watching the game then going to my brother's for WrestleMania.

 

[Lillie]

My Husband is a big fan of WrestleMania. I personally don't care for it.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Just found that the game is on ESPN unless blacked out in this area. Their crew is almost as bad as the Rays. Yankees kicked Archers ass good last year, let's see that trend continue.

 

[Lillie]

ESPN announcers are horrible. I'll take Michael Kay and crew over them any day.

 

[yankeesince59]

 

[Lillie]

Michael Kay, David Cone, and Paul O'Neill with the call today. I can deal with that.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Local Bay News Nine has their propaganda machine in action today "Keep the Rays in St. Pete. I say Charlotte or Vegas would be a better location.

Yeah they need to get out of that dump.

 

[Lillie]

Now why do I have to listen to Pete Rose and A-roid before the game???

Two candidates well versed in the fuck up move up life scenario. Both lie like rugs, one common style, the other pathological.

You are true to your word Michael, a real shit hole is what it is thank god I moved back to NY.

When I lived in Carrollwood, a suburb of tampa for 7 years they called it The World Largest Tractor Pull Stadium!

 

[Lillie]

Ok now my husband needs to have a drink.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Holliday looked safe to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[yankeesince59]

...goddamn replay system is a joke...how in the hell can the Ump call Holiday out at 1B, especially with the benefit of the replay?...everyone in the stadium saw it and I'm sure knew he should have been ruled safe.

 

[cagedlion]

Let's go Yankees!

 

[cagedlion]

Tanaka is in deep trouble. Enough said about Spring Training! It took him 23 pitches
before he found his stuff. There's plenty of time for Yankees to come back.

 

[yankeesince59]

...my god...these announcers are terrible.

 

[cagedlion]

^^^^^Ron, you must be watching the espn yawners! Lol

 

[yankeesince59]

...never seen Tanaka this wild...he's all over the place...coupled with some bad luck.
