Pitchers and catchers report for many teams (including the Detroit Tigers) today.  :woot:

Also, this is the first I've heard of this movie but I'm looking forward to it.

"But it is not enough for me to stand before you tonight and condemn riots. It would be morally irresponsible for me to do that without, at the same time, condemning the contingent, intolerable conditions that exist in our society. These conditions are the things that cause individuals to feel that they have no other alternative than to engage in violent rebellions to get attention. And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the plight of the negro poor has worsened over the last twelve or fifteen years. It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice and humanity." - Martin Luther King, Jr

I'm worried because the Astros are being picked to win the division.
Other than that, really looking forward to this season.
Norm, I'm really interested in this flick too, although part of me worries it's going to focus more on the pitchers and their development of a fastball and not the total at bat scenario, which I find extremely engaging. I hope this is an avenue for the casual observer to understand how difficult it is to plan for a 90 mph fastball but instead find an 80mph curve ball breaking two feet down making you look a fool.

Forgot to throw out predictions on my club.
Actually I don't think they will be leaps and bounds better than last year. Could be, but central figures are big X factors so I'm saying 89 wins and will be battling the Rangers for the lead to the last series.
Watch out for the Cubs and Dodgers too.

Holy s***, mother d!ck, it actually happened.

Probably one of the best baseball games I've ever seen, and one of the best World Series ever...and in the conversation for one of the best sporting events I've watched.
