I have waited a long time for this! I don't follow college basketball, NASCAR, or hockey so I have been starved for some baseball!!

Who's gonna win it all?

My guess....

Texas v Philly or Arizona and Texas winning it all

    I've been waiting for today, as well. Have two fantasy teams locked and loaded. I like Texas, but still think pitching may be a problem. Arizona has really good young pitching. Tough call this year. Let's see what Detroit can do.

    I have 2 Yahoo free leagues and 1 $50 league. I won $250 last year, looking for the repeat.

    Detriot has everything going, just not sure it will click this year.

    I feel very lucky to have it as my home stadium! I'm looking forward to checking out some of the changes and upgrades they did in the off season!

    <---- yup, can't wait!
    I'm not sue if my Phillies will make it back to the World Series or not. Injuries with positions players (Utley and Howard) may hurt them. Pitching is still solid - best rotation in the NL (except for maybe San Fran and Atlanta is getting much better) and hopefully picking up Pappelbon from Boston will solidify the closing spot.

    LOVE me some Phillies baseball. Can't! Freaking! Wait!

    Yea! Finally! Long dry spell between the Super Bowl and Opening day! Hoping the Reds are in the mix after just
    paying Joey Votto for a 10 year/$225 mill deal.

    Very jealous! I haven't had the chance to go to CBP yet - moved out of the area before it was built and the only time I've been back during baseball season, they were out of town.

    *high 5*

    At least we have a beautiful stadium to enjoy. I love just being outside watching a baseball game, even if we don't come out on top!

    As a diehard Phillies fan in Georgia, this season has me filled with trepadation....I think the Fightin's have gotten too old and too injured.

    The worst part is living in GA, many little league teams pick the Braves as their team and my 11 year old was drafted by...UGH the Braves and my 8 yr old was drafted by the Yankees. UGH UGH UGH.

    GO RANGERS!! I love baseball. Nolan Ryan & the Texas Rangers will always have my heart - and The Ballpark is a beautiful place.

    I live near Houston and even though the Astros aren't in their best of times, Minute Maid park is great place too. I always go for my hometown team (unless they are playing the Rangers, which only happens in two weekends a year).

    Wow - I'm such a girl. . . can't quote stats to ya, but I can tell you the parks are pretty. :-)

    It was inevitable. The war of words that was going on could have only led to that conclusion. Personally I wish Tulo would have ripped his arm off and beat him with it, but it's good he didn't as he would have been suspended too. Ubaldo was awesome in his day and I personally think we should have kept him, but the Monforts are a bunch of idiots.
