Baseball is my favorite sport, partly because of the history and partly because it's the only sport I was half good at in my younger days.
I'm a Cubs fan, and even though they've been a pretty poor organization down through the years, I wouldn't want it any other way. I don't expect them to be competitive for a couple of years but at least we're gonna see some fresh faces. New owner, new GM, new manager and quite a few new faces between the white lines. I'm probably looking forward to this season more than I have in quite some time.
As for the NL Central I'd say the Reds have as good a shot as anybody. But even without Pujols and LaRussa the Cards will still be pretty good. We'll see. Don't see anyone else in that division doing much, but you never know.
