Thank god. How else are you suppose to get through the Duke off-season?

My Cards already lost today. Our so called “ace” was terrible. At least we managed to sign a closer before the game.

Yankees fan here. Nice start to the season by Stanton with two bombs. Our starting pitching will be the question mark this season.

That is a terrible fact about the Braves, but at least they got 1.

Minnesota Twins fan here. We're finally decent again, but I don't think it's going to matter in the loaded American League.

Reds fan. I live within walking distance of Great American Ballpark. But I'm one of those people who lose more interest in baseball with each passing year, us millennials are gonna cause the death of baseball.

It's about to be NBA Playoffs time, best 2 months of the year for me.

Hopefully the Reds will be improved this year. I hope so. Give me something to look forward to. I won’t watch one minute of nba playoffs. I’ll watch my grass grow instead. It’s more interesting to me.

Yeah, I love the NBA playoffs, too. Really looking forward to this year again. I just hope the Wolves can hang on get a spot in the west. The Jimmy Butler injury just killed any chance of them making the second round. He really makes that team go.

Isn't there a good chance Butler returns for the playoffs? He is clearly the Wolves alpha. I want to see Butler return, and the Wolves get the 7 seed.

They play a banged up, no Steph Curry round 1 Warriors team, and pull off the upset of the century.

With 2 wild cards now, if you have a decent ball club, you will be in playoff contention.
I don’t expect St. Louis to win the division. Just hoping to get a wild card.

Terence: The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It’s been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt, and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game, is a part of our past, Ray. It reminds us of all that once was good, and that could be again. Oh people will come, Ray. People will most definitely come.

It was hands down my favorite sport from early 80's until about maybe 10 years ago. Once the Braves didn't have every game on TBS like they used to, I have drifted from it. But I will always be a fan

I’m liking the way Homer Bailey is pitching so far!

Tiger fan here. Looks like a pretty wide window has closed for us. I remember '84.

The Braves on TBS was classic.
For $90 you can get MLBTV team specific package and stream it through the TV.

I've been a Yankees and a Rangers fan since I was a kid. Those years when they were playing for the ALCS were fun for me
