    Can’t stress enough how big a difference I think the change in attitude form the players will male. During the rebuild even though they are professional baseball players, the know the situation, the know it’s a tank and that the front office and some of the fans don’t care if they win. That makes a difference. The mentality alone could account for an extra 5 wins before you even add in the increase in talent.

    I am delighted to hear the mentality seems to be a very united ‘It’s the World Series or nothing.’ I cannot wait for the season.

    My family has booked a trip to Cincy to see the opening series, and then conveniently on to Toronto (which we would fly through anyway) to catch the second series.

    Baseball can't come soon enough.

    I'm planning to go take in a game in L.A. for the first time ever. I wanted to then drive to Phoenix but my wife rightfully pointed out that that's the hottest time of the year in the hottest area of the country, so we'll save that trip for another year.

    Eh, it's a dry heat. If you enjoy crawling into an oven, you should be fine.

    Yeah, you gotta save time and resources to see your favorite MLB team. No sense in blowing the whole wad on the Reds

    Oh I'd go by myself but I'll have the wife in tow, so I'm being the good husband and not insisting.

    I was stranded in Phoenix a couple of days after 9/11. It reached 114 degrees. In September.

    At one point I went for a walk, and when I got back to the hotel, I had a completely white face with red cricles around my lips. I wasn't sweating. I was so used to humidity that I didn't realize what was happening.

    Perfect baseball weather.

    I don't think it's hyperbole to say this season is already more enjoyable than the previous five.
