The Astros look like they are set up for a disastrous season. A baseball pool I'm in has them at 59.5 wins and I took the under. One of the easier picks I think

As a Detroit Tigers Fan, I am looking forward to another trip to the World Series. With better results this year.

With Davey Johnson all but guaranteeing a World Series appearance this year (he's retiring after this season), my Nats won't be sneaking up on anybody this year! Yes, the Nats and Orioles in the W.S would be fantastic - nothing I would like better that to see the Nats beat Angelos's team, as a payback for all Angelos did to keep MLB out of Washington for so many years!

Anybody can have a bad century, but this might be, it could be, it is, our year!

Go Cubbies!

You Pirates fans are kinda mean.

But I get it - the Astros will cycle through a good spell eventually. The Pirates...maybe not.

As a Giants fan, I owned season tickets on the Arcade (right field wall) from 2005-2009. Within weeks of buying these tickets, we learned that Barry Bonds (the main reason we got Arcade) had a mysterious knee injury and missed almost the entire season. 5 miserable seasons followed and after my increasing travel load made going to weekday/night games impossible, I decided to drop my tickets. We've since won 2 WS Championships in 3 years. I learned my lesson- the world is better when I don't own season tickets!!

I'm fired up for the 2013 NL West race and some inevitably incredible matchups with that loaded Dodgers squad. Got my opening day tickets v the Cards and will be there in full force.. same as last October!(this is the closest to game face I could do)

Looking forward to the Dodgers having a great year and get Don Mattingly a ring
Love the Tigers chances too. Solid team with great pitching
Play Ball!

I think this year will have a SoCal WS. As a Yankee fan I am more pessimistic than I have been in years. Thank goodness for the BoSox or the Yankees might be the division's basement dweller.

Ian, having met you and knowing what a great guy you are, I can only say that there must be no karma in regard to baseball fans.

Later tonight I'll post a cool Giants-thing that I found yesterday while going through some boxes.

I've got a bunch of Jays tickets for this year. Really excited for the season to start - almost too excited.

Go Jays Go.
