Hey all, not much longer and the real games start. I'm so ready!!!

On a side note... my son had little league baseball tryouts last weekend. He's 13. It just amazes me how much these boys are changing. They are getting so tall and are just so much more confident in their skills. Hitting left a lot to be desired for all of the boys, but it could be because we had a little blast of winter weather that day. Oh... and you should hear all the voices that are changing. Kinda makes you giggle.

Is it too late?

Cards are my fav.

And fantasy....God Bless the Cubbies....because they are my grandpa's God rest his soul..fav.

Red Sox

Cubs (I feel bad for them, and being a Red Sox fan I can identify)

I so agree, don't like Sunday nite, need Jerry and Don

I don't think his numbers are that good and the length of his career is kind of short.

Hi Annie

Wow... this thread is expanding.... Clyde... Another Cards fan... yeah!

I will update soon!

not too late to get in the pool!

I'm the resident nut... Gary runs a close second

Can we talk baseball cards for a minute please... Does anyone collect seriously ?

I have the Red Sox teams collection from 2004 and 2007 WS wins but they were practically giving them away ( I think) ... I have lots of national players from early 90's... I should look at them again...

Caroline I have a bunch in a big envelope from the 90's.

Must look them out and remind myself what ones I have.

My youngest has a few. She likes to buy them when we go to the games.

My son was a big collector back in the late 80's early 90's...he had well over 10,000 cards. He gave most of them away to the kids at church a few years ago. He still has several future HOF'ers in mint condition but since he collected at a time when EVERYONE did...they are not worth much if anything.

We had such a great time going to the card shows...his sister with us collecting her own cards...we all have great memories of nights putting cards in folders and being oh so careful not to touch the "good ones"...

he still has many in boxes never opened....

We spent hours looking at all the DODGER cards....the ones we bought...traded for or received at the stadium....

what fun!

So...Padilla...

I'm sorry did you say "WHO?"...

is our season starting pitcher....

gonna be a long year...

and then we have...

Manny...

oh my....

I remember him from last year

He was all right for you guys at the end of the season and in the playoffs.

Or were we just bad?

I'm talking about Padilla.

BIG BIRD Padilla was an outstanding pick-up at the end of the season...did an outstanding job...

but...if he is our Number 1...we have issues..
