Well 45000 Blue Jays tickets just sold out in less than 1 minute, that was pretty rediculous. But it just goes to show how pumped we are here.

Who do you like this season? Blue Jays are World Series favorites ;)

The Yankees have been just as stacked or more with players like these and havent won. Bautista is still a beast.

Upton brothers + Jason Heyward = arguable the best OF in the bigs. Getting stoked for this season.

Go Braves!

It's becoming an annual tradition for blue jays fans on here to claim the jays are gonna win it all, only for them to finish 10+ games out of first.

I was working the day after Boston got hit with 20+ inches of snow last week. Really cool and strange to see Fenway under that much snow. Especially when we realized that in 2 months they'll be playing baseball again.

Dodgers! Highest payroll in baseball, buying a team worked for the Yankees for years, I hope it can work for us!

Also the A's for fielding one of the youngest and cheapest teams in the sport and still doing well.

And the cubs, hope they can win it at least once before I die, but I am not optimistic.

The cards were looking pretty good until Chris Carpenter started having problems again with his pitching arm (although he hasn't totally ruled out playing this year).

Braves now are favorites, I have no doubt i my mind the Jays will fail, The angles always come up short same with the dodgers, im thinking it will be between Nats, Giants, Tigers

What? Implying that a team is free of cost? Yankees had some solid players who stayed pretty loyal to new york... Jeter, posada, Matsui, etc..

Here's to hoping the Rockies lose less than 90 games this year! Also, my former high school head coach is now the Rockies head coach, so that's cool.

definitely! I just can't wait for games. Working other things at the ballpark is fun, but there's nothing that compares to a packed house for a sox game on a beautiful night. Best working environment in the world, despite all the actual work we still have to do.

= dream job? TOTALLY.

I watched a documentary on pbs about fenway and it was beyond fascinating. The fact that sometimes the field gets flooded and fish will wash up there, to the guy that has pretty much handled the entire park for over 30 years and has never seen a game.

oh yeah, we were all happy that donny, the maintenance guy got credit finally. He literally does everything in the park. There is no maintenance team...just him. It's funny too, middle of the winter we'll come in at 6am on a sunday for something, and he'll already be there working on something. The absolute unsung red sox hero.

I was actually in that documentary, very briefly. They try to keep our department out of the public eye though, for obvious reasons.

blue jays and expos.

WOOP

seriously though, stoked on the jays this season. it might take a year or two for them to really bond and become the team we expect them too, but it's going to be exciting as hell to see them with an actual complete team. every year i've watched them, it's either the power hitting that's great, the pitching that's great, the defense that's great, but never all of that together. i'm expecting them to be among the top of the league in starting pitching era, team batting average, slugging %, and errors committed per game.

cant fucking wait.

a team shouldn't be based off how much money they make. A great team isn't born off of big name players that cost millions. Its about depth. Look at the Angels last year... they sucked ass and had Trout, Pujols, Torii Hunter, and Trumbo.

Spring Training starts today, Jays looking to find their starters vs Detroit. I think it's on TV!
I hope Morrow pitches like he can this year, he should be an ace

yeah that morrow guy I had never heard of until we played against him and he shut us out.

hopefully jason hamels has another great year and tommy hunter can keep it together so we can have some sort of a competitive starting pitching staff

Click for larger image So happy to see mo back for his final season on the mound. The rotation looks solid, but knowing the yanks, they will fuck it up again in the post season. All we can do is hope! Also I will be going to a Yankee game on May 18th against the Jays. Should be an easy win.
