Baseball Pitchers and Catchers report in one month...Spring is in the air...
Edited on Mon Jan-22-07 08:50 PM by SaveElmer
I think this is a perfect time for a rousing rendition of the greatest baseball fight song:

We're gonna win Twins
We're gonna score
We're gonna win Twins
Watch that baseball soar
Crack out a homerun
Shout a hip-hooray
Cheer for the Minnesota Twins today!

edit: added a word to clear up any...umm...confusion ;-)

This isn't gay.com

I'm a pitcher, for what it's worth. I loved playing softball a few years ago. I was better at second, though...

5. I'm a MAJOR league pitcher.
But if it's the right time, I'll sometimes catch. But that rarely happens.

8. I Can Also Pitch
But prefer not to. I really prefer to catch. It's so much more fulfilling. Sitting behind the batter when he swings.......ahhhh!

22. Well, it'll be interesting. And although I think it will be close,
I think the Tigers getting Sheffield gives them the Central over the Twins. :)

23. I don't know...White Sox thought the same about Thome last year...
We'll see...it certainly will be close...

I have to say other than 1987 and 1991 last year was about the most exciting baseball year I can remember...as a Twins fan!

20. Woohoo!
In my deluded head, the day pitchers and catchers report is the first day of spring. I'll do anything to end winter a little sooner. :)

21. That ain't no delusion
Although I see it a bit differently. That day is like Groundhog Day, when catchers come out of their squats and see the break on a slider, denoting that spring begins with the first pitch of the first pre-season game.

24. Very true.
Because when pitchers and catchers report, I'm still living under a foot and a half of snow. By the time the first pre-season games roll around, we're usually out of the woods weather-wise. :bounce:
