Post ANYTHING you want about the upcoming major league baseball season.

 

Let's just say that, Padres are going all the way!!! Or not...

[krider]

I like Atlanta to go all the way IF, and I really mean IF, they can get by the NY Mets this year. And as far as that goes If NY Mets don't win it this year, they never will..

 

On the other side I like the CHI- White Sox, I'm not a White Sox fan, more of a Cub fan from that city, but they look good.

 

I wounder what St.L is going to do this year with all the big bats in there line up.

 

I hope that NY Y & the Red Sox stay in last place.

[St.LouisBOI]

I just have to say that I'm really excited about the new Busch opening a week from today, the 10th. And what more to say besides GO CARDINALS!

[SixFlagsTexas]

I got to see my Rangers lose to the BoSox, 7-3. I was really upset with this game because I had thought Kevin Millwood would have been a great addition for us, but we will have to see. Our rookie looked great, and Hank hit a HR.

 

So besides the 3,000+ BoSox Fans, the intense sun burning, terrible upper-deck out-field seats, and the fact that we lost, the game was still fun.

 

Go Rangers!

[WalrusMan]

I'm a Giants fan, so it's going to be an interesting year. If Bonds plays 100 games, I'm confident we're going far. My picks for the divisions...AL West-Angels, AL Central-White Sox, AL East-Yankees, AL Wild Card-Red Sox/Blue Jays/Indians, NL West-Giants if Bonds plays 100 games Dodgers if not, NL Central-Cardinals, NL East-Mets, NL Wild Card- Braves.

 

Going to be a fun season!

[socalMAN123]

I have just a couple of things to say: Go Angels! I still think it is gay that they are the Los Angles Angels of Anaheim, but hey Tim Salmon is back on the roster, that's all I care about.

[VekomaSucks1234]

do you guys have a fantasy league here?

[Ryne23s]

Uhhhhh ... Cubs, Please, Finally, Please!

[mcjaco]

I fear that once again my Cubbies will suffer through another lack luster year.

 

What's more irritating is all the morons that keep buying tickets to support the ownership. Why put a competitive team on the field when you keep breaking your own ticket records each year? I'm actully going to Cleveland and Phoenix to see them play. At least those teams made the world series in the past two decades.

[Movieguy]

Well, the Pirates are already 0-4, so I've already lost interest in this season.

 

Mark Cuban says he's interested in buying this team and keeping them in PA if things continue to get worse. I sure hope so, cause they BADLY need his money. Anyone they get who's talented ends up leaving.

 

If not...well, it looks like you're getting an MLB team, North Carolina.

[BelizeIt]

Well as of Sunday April 9th, the RedSox are 5-1 (First Place), and the Yankees are 2-4 (Last Place). The Season is off to a Great Start!!!

[socalMAN123]

Angels got murdered yesterday. They didn't play well at all.

Final Score: Yankees 10 Angels 1

[coasterzak]

I'll be the first to say it...

 

GO TRIBE!!!!!

 

Gosh it's a shame those World Champion Sox are playing terrible and the Indians are tied for first! /end sarcasm

 

PS - Hafner is an animal

 

EDIT: Oh and the Indians just so happen to be first in the ESPN power rankings! I'd love to see them in the World Series this year!

[Eunuch Provocateur]

I'll be the first say THIS:

 

F***in' Gagne...

 

ANOTHER Surgery? Come on... Just retire already. Your elbow isn't even real any more. The only time you make more with unreal body parts is in porn.

 

*sigh*

[Gregory DG]

Woohoo! Cards win the first game at Busch III.

 

Keep this in your memory for trivia games:

 

First hit: Carlos Lee

First HR: Bill Hall

First Cardinals hit: David Eckstein

First Cardinals HR: Albert Pujols

First HR by a pitcher: MARK MULDER!!!!

 

Go Cardinals!

[SixFlagsTexas]

Rangers suck...

 

 

 

and things get worse every day.

[WalrusMan]

*sigh* It needs to stop raining in San Francisco...

[momo1tx]

Wow... the Nationals are doing awful. I left for Canada five days ago, and the had won 2 games. I come back... they've won 2 games.

[ParkTrips]

bump

 

Marlins, anyone? 8)

[Martin]

Go Yankees!

 

Nine games up on the Red Sox now.

[MSLSM]

Well the White Sox continue to suck, but this happens every year. Hopefully they can pull themselves together and win the wild card.

[Gregory DG]

Wow, no baseball fans here, huh?

 

Of course, I'm elated the Cardinals are in the WS again! I hope they do better this time than in 2004!

 

Go Cards!!!

[Angry_Gumball]

Well, I'm actually disappointed of last weekend...the A's were headed there...they were kicking arse game by game....then they suddenly flopped with the 'get pwn3d' curse for the next 4 games against detroit. Everyone at work are all A's fans as well so we were all let down at the end of last saturday.

[BelizeIt]

For me, the season came to a sudden stop when the A's got swept. (I would have liked to have seen the A's vs. Mets)

 

The Cardinal vs. Detroit could be interesting, Detroit has had about a month off to rest up whereas the Cardinals will be going on zero rest. I wouldn't expect very high TV ratings for this series, unless it goes to six or more games.

 

If I had to chose a winner today, I'd go with Detroit. They did manage to beat two teams who should (In my opinion) have beaten them, and they are on an impressive 7 game winning streak!

[Beate's Freak]

Ya this should be a good world series (most likely better than the 2 sweeps we saw the last 2 times). But it doesn't really matter to me being an Angels fan, i'm just looking to a big offseason move!
