I'm cautiously optimistic about the season, but I'm tired of being disappointed at playoff time.
I've never lived anywhere close. My dad watched them (probably due to the Murph) for as long back as I can remember, and I picked them up from him. Inherited fandom is legit, IMO.

I'm pretty excited about the season. Hampton will be hurt in the first game he pitches. I'm wondering what the Vegas line is for which part of his body he hurts. I'd take his groin for a buck.
