So you are counting the Indians championship back in '48, but not the Browns in the 50's and 1964? Just a few years before the Super Bowl started? So what about the Yankees dominance in the 20's and 30's? Null and void because there were a lot less teams?

Null and void because it wasn't "the Super Bowl." The World Series has been The World Series since 1903.

In other words, in the NFL, teams try to win the Super Bowl. The Browns haven't done that yet (or even been to it). In MLB, teams try to win the World Series. Teams back to 1903 or so have done that. There were some "world champions" before that but the "American League vs National League" World Series began in 1903 (Boston Red Sox vs. Pittsburgh Pirates - Pirates lost). I think the only people in the world that count the pre-Super Bowl championships as "Super Bowls" are Browns fans, despite the fact that they're not alone in the world of "teams that have never been to the Super Bowl."

Ah yes, it's almost baseball time. I'm definitely a fan of it at the beginning and the end. I lose interest for a few months every season, but I always get back into it around late-August or early-September.

I would actually rather watch college baseball any day of the week over the professional counterpart. But I'm like that with most sports these days.

Anyway, onto the topic finally. I have a couple teams in baseball, but I really don't have a main favorite. I have always enjoyed watching the Giants, Cubs, and Mariners. I'm not sure why, but the Giants were my first favorite sports team back in the mid-to-late 80s. I was a young gun back then, but I loved baseball as a kid. I started watching the Cubs and Mariners in the early 90s. All these teams have had short runs in recent years, but none of the three have really gotten anything accomplished.

Nonetheless, I'll be cheering for those three teams again this season, and hopefully they can get something accomplished. I think the NL Central is always the best overall conference in baseball or near the top, with the AL West shortly thereafter. The NL East was very deep last season, but the Marlins shipped everyone out and will be in rebuilding mode once again.

I'm not Dodgers fan, but they definitely loaded up in the offseason. I don't agree with the guy who said they don't have anything except Gagne. They really went out and tried to load up, and it may very well pay off in the long run. It just depends if Garciaparra and a couple of the other acquisitions can stay healthy or not. Nomar hasn't stayed healthy for an entire season in quite some time. As I mentioned, however, I'm a Giants fan. So I hope they whip the Dodgers head-to-head and in the NL West standings.

I'm ready to start watching Baseball Tonight. I can always watch baseball highlights, even if I don't tune into many full games. I love seeing home runs and web gems.

I second that notion.

From Michigan? Really?

Eh. The Pirates are what they are. And until the current ownership moves on, they always (probably) will be.

I am an Angel's fan. My family is from Southern CA so I was really born into it. My mother is more of an Angel's fan, father is more of a Dodger's fan. I prefer the Angel's. Though, being a Canadian, I do have to pretend to like the Blue Jays...though it is getting easier especially this season as they picked up Molina and Glaus. The Mariners are my sentimental favorite and have been since we had their AAA team here many years ago.

The Brewers have been my one and only MLB team I have ever cheered for (even after transplanting to MN from WI - can't lower myself to cheer for the Twins). Its been brutal since 1992 but they seem to have some good young players and finally a decent owner (Goodbye, Bud Selig!).

      The MTB Prime and Prime X had issues with the cover being too soft and getting cut too easily. They said it was more prevalent in the Prime than the Prime X which I found odd because that was the exact opposite of my experience.

      Day 120 - Played 18; much better than yesterday. Miss right now is off the heel of the club, so I need to sort that out.

      Today we played Pease Golf Course in Portsmouth, NH. Course was in great shape but my game didn't show up. I will say I pitched and chipped fairly well but almost everything else was very hit or miss. Cost myself a lot hitting an in play drive with pulling my approach shots maybe 85% of the time. Finally figured out I had been swaying most of the round. Only took me until 13 to figure it out. Used what felt like a much more centered turn and the ballstriking improved. 18 tomorrow using a 2 man scramble format. Just looking to contribute. Been a blast though.

      Day 22: Hit balls with 7-iron using mevo+ to track dispersion. Was out for a long time after work; 86 balls but the first 50+ were 50% swings focusing on top of backswing feel and then just hitting the ball as a psychic reward. Finished with 20 balls close to full speed. Pretty happy with dispersion and also no horrendous misses. I’m chunking my priority piece out into two separate feels, first and more important is the position/balance at top of backswing which is what I was working on. Once I have that engrained I’ll move to transition part.

      FWIW I never really had issues with the previous generation of Snells. But… I'm not sure I played them a ton, either.
