    This is a weird feeling as a Cubs fan. I'm not sure how to approach the season

      I know right....there's still some part of my brain telling me that was all just a dream.

      Fortunately I now have a few plaques hanging on my wall that can tell that part of my brain to shut up.

        Put a bullseye on your back and you'll feel like the Cubs players

        They're gonna be the team everyone wants to beat now.

          I'll be headed to all the parks in AZ again this year. Looking forward to it.

              This will be my first ST, I'm going to hit up as many as I can. I visited quite a few in the off-season, they are gorgeous ballparks.

                Have fun to everyone headed to the games! I usually spend two weeks and go to every stadium in Arizona, but this year I won't be able to make it due to the kiddo.
                Come hang with me on YouTube! I stream/make videos on a variety of games from sports, to action, to adventure!

                  You know spring is around the corner when TSN and Sportsnet are overloading their sites with Blue Jays coverage! In a bit of news, Aaron Sanchez is free to go with no innings limits BS.

                  Can't wait to watch some live baseball again. I've been getting my fix by watching the '95 ALCS right now.

                    Would be cool if one day we got to have any game on demand like how WWE Network lets you watch basically any show ever made by any company. lol, just randomly re-watching some Spring Training game from the 90s just because.

                    Sucks though that TSN is excluded from Jays broadcasting. I actually do like Buck&Pat(if anything,hearing Jays coverage from FOX in 2015 made me appreciate Buck and Pat more), but you know TSN probably would care alot more about the Jays if they got some games too. Would be nice if Bell did join up with some ownership group to bring Expos back to Montreal. Rogers/Jays vs Bell/Expos.

                      I love the cactus league parks. Beautiful no doubt.

                        Adrian Beltre has a strained calf. Expected to miss 3 weeks

                        I miss the old days of Operation Sports :(

                          Josh Donaldson has a strained right calf. (same calf that bothered him last year) The Jays are fairly confident that he will be okay for opening day.

                            He better be. Bad enough the Jays lost Encarnacion, but if Bautista really can't stay healthy and then Donaldson playing hurt too......so much for 2017,even with great pitching.

                              'Wait'll last year' just doesn't have the same catch to it.
