ajc47 Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Spring Training games have started so it is officially a new season now. Still not expecting anything great from the Tribe though.
mightypotato Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 For a little cross sport fun, who will have more wins this season, the San Antonio Spurs or the Pittsburgh Pirates?
tdub96 Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Spring training has officially started. You know what that means? - - - - - - - - -the Pirates have officially been eliminated from playoff contention.
Dailey Enterprizes Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 ^You know the Giants were in a similar situation last season. People were looking down on them because of their previous season, but they did purty well I think. Â That being said I'm happy baseball season is almost here because it reminds me of summer and PNC Park of course.
ajc47 Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Summer is a good thing. So is baseball, just not the kind of "ball" the Pirates and Indians play.
cedarpointfangirl Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 ^ I think the Pirates will improve this season, I love Clint Hurdle. I hate we lost him as our hitting coach. I think he is gonna be great for the Pirates.
Ed Farmer Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 /\ From last-est-er to last-est, or just last? Â I'd love to see a decent team in Pittsburgh. PNC Park is such a great looking ballpark. Second only to SF's AT&T Park IMO.
ajc47 Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Last time Pittsburgh had a good team, Bonds was playing for them. He's not doing so hot these days...
KDcoasterMAN Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 We might as well make a "Who think the Pirates still sux thread" while we are here! Â Go O's
mr bad example Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Some friends and I are going to try to score some tickets for opening day at AT&T Park...not only are the Giants taking on the Dodgers, but it's also my 52nd birthday...this will be the 3rd time the Giants home opener will take place on my birthday, and both of the other times it was pretty easy to find tickets outside the park...but of course, the team was coming of a WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONSHIP!!! Â Sorry bout the caps, but it's still a great feeling that they won it in my lifetime...
ajc47 Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 ^ I'll probably be your age or older by the time the Indians win one, if they ever do.
Chris Benvenuto Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 The Tigers have performed well so far in Spring Training, we have along way to go until September. But, the way they're playing gives me faith that we'll make a post-season run this year. Â Our pitching staff seems to be doing alright, it's the just matter of cashing in on runs and not leaving men so often on base. We also have to focus on the AL Central this season, and take the season series from the Twins and White Sox. Indians and Royals are pesky too, have to keep an eye out on those two as well. Â Go Tigers Go!

Â Good luck with that one. I would imagine opening day tickets would be very hard to get, especially with the WS win. Our opening day for the Rangers was sold out before they even went on sale to the public. They had to run a lottery for some fans just to get the chance to buy tickets. Not many people won that lottery. I didn't. I go every year to opening day, its tradition, and with us just winning the AL pennant people went nuts. I bought my tickets on Ebay. Stub Hub was starting at like 114 just for standing room only. Â I wouldn't wait long, stub hub might be your best bet if they games sold out already!

After the White Sox won, my split-season tickets included Opening Day. There was a 2 hour rain delay that turned a sold-out crowd into literally a few hundred by the time play resumed towards 11pm (IIRC). I've never seen the place so empty, it was surreal. Jim Thome jacked one out into the empty bleachers in his first game as a Sox and they beat Cleveland. It was my favorite time at the park, even moreso than all the playoff games, and Mark Buehrle's no-hitter against the Rangers (he walked Sammy Sosa only to promptly pick his ass off). The only thing I could imagine being more fun would be attending a win to clinch the World Series.
Freefallbestrideever Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 I will be opening up for the second year in a row at Petco Park on April 9th It's a fun little trip and a very nice stadium.
KDcoasterMAN Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Opening Day is Thursday! Any last minute predictions? Â Mine is the Orioles break there bad luck, finish about .500
chrisdanger Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Quick prediction: Rangers will make it to the AL West series, but not entirely sure they'll win it.
BeemerBoy Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Opening Day is Thursday! Any last minute predictions? Â Hmmm, off the top of my head.... Â - A big market team will win it all. - Several mid-level teams will compete. - The smaller markets will be forgotten. - A simple beer and hot dog at the game will set you back $45. - Pittsburgh will develop new talent to trade to a contender. - Derek Jeter will sport an early 90's high top fade....for the 17th straight season (a MLB record) - Small animals will begin nesting in Brian Wilson's ridiculous looking beard. - Your local minor league team will easily surpass the Marlin in ticket sales. - Eddie Perez will continue to be the biggest douchebag bullpen coach in the league.
ParkTrips Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 ^ The last one is the best!!! Â You forgot that we will get sick of hearing about the Sox on ESPN by April 1.. Â and, for the record, 2 teams had lower attendance than the Marlins last year

KPfreak519 Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Pirates will make the playoffs. Â *Borat voice* NOT
ajc47 Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Pirates will make the playoffs. *Borat voice* NOT  For the 18th straight year.
Ed Farmer Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Finally here. Taking off early from work tomorrow to catch the Sox opener in (snowy) Cleveland on tv. MLB Schedule makers are a group I'll never understand. Teams from the north should open the season on the road against teams in warmer climates, at least until mid-April.
DevilSaint Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 Angels starters have given up a total of 4 runs in 20 innings through three games and the team is 1-2. Offseason money well spent on middle relievers! Ugh.
cedarpointfangirl Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 Just a few pics from the Rangers home opener yesterday. Hello Win Column.. 9-5 Go Rangers!!
