drowninginflame Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I need baseball again, I am a bears fan but it is in no way shape or form near the love of baseball. I can't wait till pitchers and catchers report already. BUT thankfully winter seems to be flying by with that whole winning the world series thing. anyone else feel my pain?

Jordan4life_2007 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 You're definitely not alone. I'm can't wait to get this thing started again. Fortunately, I've got the Bears, Bulls and Illini to tide me over until then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Winter always starts seeming long right after Christmas, and this hasn't even been a bad winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonkeyKongerko Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 February is the worst sports month for me. If it were 30-31 days, I probably would have killed myself a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDudeAbides Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 No you're not. I need baseball. Im sick of football personally even though the bears just made the playoffs. Ive watched every WS game at least 3 times. Im hungry for baseball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxin' Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 We booked our flights and Hotels for Tuscon yesterday. I can't friggen wait!!!! We're not leaving until the end of March though, that is still a long time away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 That's cool you guys are missing baseball so much. I'm OK with the layoff. We played so deep into the season and winning it all I'm determined to enjoy it until we have to start again. I'm enjoying the Bears run. I'm not convinced we (Bears) can't win at home this week and be in the frickin NFC championship game. It would be amazing if the Bears could at least make it that far. I'm glad Kenny made some significant changes to the team. I don't think we could have even won the division staying pat. Some change is good.

witesoxfan Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 January-February always sucks. I'm not an NBA/NHL guy, college hoops is not really something I follow closely until the conference tournies at the earliest, and the NFL is something that I kind of use as an afterthought. The day pitchers and catchers report is awesome though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHAMBARONS Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Yeah I hate the offseason as well even though it is real warm here (right now at 1:06 AM it is 65 outside) and we have hit record highs in 5 of the 9 days this year reaching 82 on New Years but I drive past the Met and the grass is nice and green and it seems like we should be playing ball yet the season doesn't start for another 3 months and it is very frusterating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilJester99 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 With as sad as the rest of our sports franchises are in this town during the winter....its no wonder why people go nuts waiting for spring training... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 It's summer. I get by with Basketball and Football for the moment, but of course you can't wait till March and April come round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 In a weird sort of way, I am almost dreading the start of the season. After the perfection that was 2005, I don't want that afterglow to go away. I like the dreamstate of being the World Champs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasywheels121 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I'm definitely ready for the season. However, this has been a fast winter IMO. The Sox shortened the winter by playing another month of baseball, and they've kept extremely busy in the winter. Pitchers and catchers report in just about a month!

SnB Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 like greasy said, this has been the easiest winter maybe ever. For one, the sox played an extra month of baseball, shortening the gap. 2. We can still bask in the glory of a perfect season, watch the dvd's, etc. 3. Alot of our favorite other teams are having good seasons, bears, colts, illini, hoosiers, hawks, ooops.

LosMediasBlancas Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 This is why you have to take 7-10 days off smack in the middle of winter and go somewhere warm and forget about everything. If you don't break up the winter, it seems eternal. Imagine if the Bears weren't in the playoffs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreatScott82 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I'm not a big fan of winter myself. Back in the day it was cool when the Blackhawks were actually 'good' and the Bulls had there dynasty going. But lets face it- its a baseball town, a white sox town and once again a championship town! The thing I cant wait for the most is seeing how our new players fit in: Jim Thome, Javier Vazquez, and Rob Mackowiack. And seeing how B. Anderson plays as an everyday CFer. It will also be interesting who wins that final spot in our bullpen, not to mention how BMac does in the pen. It will also be interesting to see how Borchard does off the bench this year. To qoute a corny hip hop band: "Lets get it started" But until then, let the Bears beat the crap out of Carolina! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthraxFan93 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 February is the worst sports month for me. If it were 30-31 days, I probably would have killed myself a few years ago. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Gotta agree with you here.. After the Super bowl, I am boucning off the walls trying to find something to watch.. This year might be Hockey.. Though, the Hawks do suck..so who knows, might actually have the best month of schooling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
