So, do you guys just count the days until Pitchers report in? Play MLB The Show for the next 5 months? Hibernate in a dark corner til Spring training? Give up on baseball entirely and focus on football? Watch classic tapes of baseball games just so it feels like Baseball is a year round sport?

Seriously, what do you guys do?

Work a lot of overtime, get overly involved in the holidays, and spend too much time on FCB

98 days until Pitchers & Catchers

This about sums it up:

"People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring."

i like to watch mexican league baseball since there are a few games every night to choose from, i also like to watch a cricket ODI when I can find a feed of it. Also, NFL and college sports are a good time filler until spring training.

I pretty much lost all interest in baseball over the last few years, so it doesn't even really matter anymore.

With family and the holidays I don't really miss it too much. Plus there's always hot stove reports to follow, the season preview magazines coming out in February (Athlon is my fav), and the Spring Trainibg reports in late-February and March. I pretty much have the off-season covered. Not too much withdrawal. :)

Baseball offseason is baseball card buying season.



I've also been doing a lot more grading lately since it's a pretty simple way to profit even beyond the season. And on that note, here's a shameless plug to get in on the next FCB group submission (see link in my signature for details).
