Baseball Season

Man. I don't know about you guys, but the days just seem better when baseball's being played somewhere, with a wooden bat, a leather glove, and it actually counts for something.

And while the Red Sox, Orioles, Yankees and Devil Rays got the jump on things, the real stuff starts today.

So. Looking down the blogroll,

I gotta whole mess of Cubs links on the left, so you know where my allegiance lies....but want to also point out Gooseneck, Hawspipe, and Peg at a Moveable Beast, who don't run Cubs-centric sites, but count themselves among the faithful....

And, it's a good day for everybody. Just want to wish luck to:

Tiff, who's a Giants fan.

Bill McCabe, one of the Mets' faithful. I think Mike Toole's here, too....at least, he once wondered what would have happened if ARod had joined the Mets....

There's a whole contingent of the Red Sox faithful....
Sheila O'Malley
Chris, at Large Regular
Dan, at Obscurorant

Al, who runs quite an enjoyable Brewers blog....

Barry's talked of following the Braves.....

The Cardinals fans, Len Cleavelin and Pete, at a Perfectly Cromulent Blog.

And the Filthy Hippy, who's never recognized the move, citing its lack of moral fiber, and continues to root, to this day, for the Seattle Pilots. He once told me, drunk on Wild Turkey, that he'd lie a smoltering in his grove (his words, not mine) before he'd recognize the needless extravagancy against Allah that is the Milwaukee Brewers.

And just a shout out to non-blogging friends Steven and Diane (Cubs), Joe "I Once Lived in Florida" Thomas (the Marlins), Garrett (the Braves), Gerry Roy (who just got a job at Tropicana Field in Tampa, taking tickets, and has been quickly trying to learn the Devil Rays storied history, and who realizes their futility, but will support them with his hard work nonetheless), Paul (the Phillies), and Shyam, who's never professed an allegiance, but will kill for whomever pays her the most. And also the folks, who've followed the Braves, even in the horrible times, but have been terribly supportive of the Cubs, as well.

And a shout out to Say Uncle, for whom all this baseball talk is tiresome, I know....but who understands, I'm sure, that some of us need a break from the guns some of the time....
