Another year has come and gone. And among all the tragedy and triumph, controversy and congratulations, we've survived.Amid the injuries, comebacks, and retirements, steroid allegations, tell-all books, broken records and amazing plays, the same thing keeps us coming back for more.
We salivate.
We yearn.
We CANNOT WAIT FOR SPRING!
The crack of the bat, the thump of the rosin, grand slams, stolen bags, ejections, sac bunts, swinging strikeouts, double plays.
Suicide squeezes!
And that elusive stunt known as the triple play. Unassisted, please!
On that note, there are only 85 more days until Opening Day 2008, when the Boston Red Sox play the Oakland Athletics in Tokyo, Japan. That's 85 more days than we'd like to wait, but there are things like football and beer, sledding and March Madness, and soon enough, Spring Training to tide us over until then.
And when the anticipation gets to be too much to bear, we can rely on the steady bombardment of Roid Reports from the Underbelly to keep us fully entertained this offseason.
Finally, thanks everyone for reading and for all of your comments -- positive and negative -- we read and love every single one. Keep 'em comin'! Have a safe and happy New Year, all.
Sooze, Lizzy, Sarah and Melissa

Thanks girls. Until the first pitch in Tokyo....we wait
Ummm one question. How can you list March Madness before Spring Training when technically March Madness comes AFTER Spring Training begins? Hell the championship game is held by the start of the baseball season. You've gone mad in your old age Sooze.
"There are only 85 more days until Opening Day 2008..."
Try to keep up, pg.
Happy New Year, ladies.
Opening day for the rest of us non-Boston/Oakland fans is March 30th and April 1st: a long time to wait.
You gals have had quite a year - here's to an even better '08.
I have a plastic wiffle ball sitting on my desk that says "DAYS UNTIL P+C R: 44" at the present time. Turns out plastic wiffle balls are like whiteboards and that whiteboard markers wipe off them. Very amusing for counting down days until big events (pitchers and catchers report, opening day, trips to the ballpark, etc).
Already counting the days!
2008 - The Year of the Cubbies!
Merry christmas and Happy New Year. Thanks for all the great work you shared with us in 2007. Hope each of your 2008's are full of great health and happiness.
