>> So.... who's in? <<
I'm willing to do it, esp. if you run it through Yahoo. It makes life easier when all of your fantasy teams are on one host...
>> Toronto will probably have a solid year as well, but I wouldn't be ashamed to offer you the White Sox/Twins/Angels. <<
* White Sox aren't exactly an underdog team coming off a World Series year, but are a solid team. (I'm not a fan of Ozzie Gullien, though.)
* Twins aren't as hard-hitting in my view as compared to either the O's or the Blue Jays -- however, if you're really into pitching, Johann Santana is the man to watch. He's godlike.
* Angels also come recommended.
>> The O's have always been my team, and I'll probably always follow them (they should have a pretty decent year in 06), but alas.... I may turn into an Indians fan when I move out of this area. Baltimore has really let me down as of late with some of the moves they've made... and I blame 98% of it on the owner/management. <<
I'll agree with your commentary on their moves. Letting Ryan go was a huge mistake; on a team where pitching should be their biggest concern, they let a very nice arm leave. Also, they've done almost nothing in the way of bulking their rotation. When Bruce Chen is your biggest threat, you're in trouble.
>> Oh, and groovy, you're now on my shit-list for being a Yankees fan. <<
At least I don't root for them just 'cause they win. (Not that that'll bother you too much as an O's fan.)
======================
We got out of school early due to snow, so I got to come home and watch the first spring training game live. Damon went 2 for 3 with a double and a single, and I was happy. Bernie seems to have regained a bit of throwing arm strength, as he was playing in right field. They lost to the Phillies (ouch) 6-3 in the end, though; I'm not bothered, though, as the loss came mostly off of the need to get work in for left-handed specialist Mike Myers, who has an average of .195 against lefties and .385 against righties -- and he pitched something like two or three innings. That, and four of our fielders all had to leave after the fifth to train for the WBC -- Jeter, A-Rod, Damon, and Williams (as well as Al Leiter).
