His new Changeup is going to be brutal and give all hitters a headache.

Do you think the Cardinals were a "damn good team?"

They actually won the World Series, and I couldn't in good faith call them a "damn good team."

Not even close, in fact.

We'll see how the season shakes out. Your thing is baseball, and baseball is not my top "thing." I wouldn't be shocked if I am wrong, because I am not a religious baseball fan, but I follow it regularly. I actually think it's boring, but I'm addicted to following all sports, so it's not like I'm shooting blanks here just to mess with you. But like I said, I'm perfectly willing to take the stand and let them prove to me that last year wasn't a lucky exception.

Next time you go to a game, try playing the 'mound game.' Everyone puts $1 in a hat. You take turns holding the hat for 1/2 inning. If at the end of the half inning the ball winds up rolling onto the pitchers' mound, whoeveris holding the hat wins its contents. Everone puts in another $1 and the hat gets passed. If the ball doesn't land on the mound, everyone puts in another $1 and the hat gets passed to next in line (aka, "mound game carryover").

Now that would make baseball exciting!

It does liven things up.

Carryovers are very common these days with the players tossing the balls into the stands. The umps with decent arms usually wait until the pitcher strolls to the mound and throws him a new ball....carryover.

Had one ump last year that didn't like to throw them to the pitcher so nearly every half inning he was rolling them out there. My buddies and I were going crazy waiting for the ball to come to a stop.

Detroit will lose today. I just know it.
