So many new faces, I can't wait to see what this team looks like this spring! Can we turn the clocks ahead about 6 weeks?

And HOW, man.
I'm kinda pissy about not going to any Spring Training games this year. Arizona is pretty spectacular in late February to mid-March. Unfortunately, we've (gag) booked (gag) a trip back to the midwest (gag) in mid-July (gag). We will be at the 7/13 Diamondbacks game, however, if any of you kids care to join us. It'll be my son's (and my wife's) first Wrigley games, and my first home game since... probably 2000? 2001?

I'll be going to as many Grapefruit League games as I can. You can't beat going to Roger Dean Stadium to watch 3 games in one day for 5 bucks, especially since coolers are allowed there. I won't be able to go to Arizona (maybe I'll be making enough to afford the trip by the time the new facility is open), I don't see being able to fly back to Chicago for a game this year, but I already have tickets for all three games of the Cubs/Marlins at the new stadium here in April. I absolutely can't wait, football did nothing to take the sting off the Cubs season this year, I need one of my teams besides the Blackhawks to win something.

I am so ready for Spring Training too! I miss baseball so much and Theo and Co. finally have me excited about Cubs baseball in Jan again. Ready to see what these new players can bring to the Cubs!

You're not in the midwest, you're in Ioway. I couldn't even find Iowa on a map of Des Moines.Hey! No gagging about the Midwest!
And, considering that I spent the first 23 years of my life there, I feel entitled to be a bit gaggy. I mean, seriously, a Chicago/Kentucky (wife's family) trip in July??? ::shudder:: Ace doesn't know it yet, but I'm staying with him while my wife visits her family in Cincinnati.

Cincinnati is the worst place on earth, I have absolutely no reason to doubt it.
As for the topic at hand, I'm ready for Spring Training about 9 seconds after the 27th out of the last game of the World Series.

Ya don't say... a TWC/Goat venture onto Chicago in July. Could the city handle it?We will be at the 7/13 Diamondbacks game, however, if any of you kids care to join us. It'll be my son's (and my wife's) first Wrigley games, and my first home game since... probably 2000? 2001?
