Guest Redhawk Report post Posted April 16, 2003 I know the hardcore fans are taking every game seriously, but at what point do you start looking at standings, stats, etc? For me it's just before the All-Star break. So when the Royals go 9-0, for example, I know it means nothing and they'll be under .500 by the summer as usual.

Guest MarvinisaLunatic Report post Posted April 16, 2003 I follow baseball all year. Which is increasingly harder to do each year now that the Orioles are so horrible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MrRant Report post Posted April 16, 2003 I pay attention to stats/wins at the 2 month mark. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted April 16, 2003 Usually not till about game 4 of the World Series. I can't get into the game anymore. Mike Illitch has just buried the Tigers and now he's stuck Trammel, Gibson, and Parish with that sack of losers. I use to really like baseball. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest meanmaisch Report post Posted April 16, 2003 I follow it all year. As a Phillies fan, this is actually a year of great promise, which is nice. I've been a fan since the mid 1980's, when the Phils would trot out such winners as Steve Jeltz and Bruce Ruffin. I especially love the mid-summer, as baseball is the only game in town and receives all the coverage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Crazy Dan Report post Posted April 16, 2003 I try to pay attention all season long. But I follow the Giants and A's the closest. I like baseball, but I only like watching the Giants and A's on TV. Only when the playoffs start is usually when I will watch other teams. But I will know usually who is doing good and terrible. And when the Giants are off to a awesome start, I can only hope they keep it up, which I think that they very well could. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Choken One Report post Posted April 16, 2003 I pay attention to the N.L central mainly and that's about it... I tend to zone out of it around July because those are the dog days...But september brings me back... If the Reds are good...And that's pretty often a 50/50 thing each year...I'm addicted...

Guest MaxPower27 Report post Posted April 16, 2003 I go to a few spring training games and somewhat follow it, until the NHL playoffs are over. After that, it's all I watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DrTom Report post Posted April 16, 2003 I follow it all year long. I tend to focus more on the AL, since my fantasy league is AL-only, but I still try to keep up with the NL, too. I follow a little closer after May 1, since that's when early-season hot and cold spells have pretty much ended, and stats and results are more accurate.

Guest CanadianChris Report post Posted April 16, 2003 I follow it all year, but I don't usually start getting really serious about it until after the Stanley Cup and NBA playoffs are over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Smell the ratings!!! Report post Posted April 16, 2003 I don't really pay attention untill October. Of course, I'm a White Sox fan, so that's why. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest NoCalMike Report post Posted April 16, 2003 I follow the A's all year, watch the games if I am home. However I don't start to panic unless the A's aren't close to a playoff run by August. The last 3 years has shown they are a 2nd half team and always come on strong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HurriShane 0 Report post Posted April 17, 2003 I follow my teams, Mariners and Padres , pretty much all year. I usually start following the rest of the league by the time the Padres are out of the playoff picture so about the All-Star break Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
