One Week 'till Opening Day for Baseball!!!

Guys, one week 'till the boys fo summer hit home again! Baseball starts up for another season and it seems to be developping quite well. I have been watching some pre-season games and I must say, The Blue Jays are looking very good, so is Detroit, Boston and Los Angeles. So it's time for the picks, who do you think is going all the way this year? I hope that it's one of my teams, or the Cubs, That one-hundred years is coming up awfully fast ! Anyways, make your picks before the season starts!

One week? Great!!



Yankees all the way!

mets.

Sorry, i just have to.. but its all dependent on their pitching.


Yankees? probably first round of the playoffs, then arod will blow it for them.

I thought A-Rod would have been gone by now. When I was at the games the fans were brutal towards him.


We'll see though...

Haha, A-Rod was so much better with the Rangers, last year he had 25 ERRORS! In case you don't know, that is ALOT! Even I didn't have that much last year! Granted I only play 24 -40 games But still. I also like the Mets, when they had young Mike Piazza they sould've won a championship though. Oh, I remeber going to the Expos game and booing Gary Sheeffield when eh was with the Braves! Good times...

Any of you remeber the Simpsons episode with Darryl Strawberry ? He gets booed by Bart and Lisa and he starts crying lol. Anywyas back on topic

I haven't been much of a baseball fan since the last time they went on strike. To me, and to many other fans, that was the death knell of baseball. Baseball still hasn't fully recovered.

Who have I rooted for in baseball? Texas Rangers. I still keep up with them a little bit...

Wow, I don't even remeber them going on strike... Maybe because I am too young or just don't have a good memory. But I have seen a decrease in popularity (Baseball) and a whopping increase FOR popularity in soccer. I HATE SOCCER!!!!! lol

The last time they went on strike was in the late 1990s I believe. When they finally started playing again, the fans really didn't show up to the ball parks and when they did, it was to throw # onto the field and at the players. In Houston, they even tried to give tickets away to ball games and couldn't. The fans were furious.

I remember when the Expos had their last game at Montreal fans threw alot of things on the field after the match. I wasn't present though. Anyways back on topic, I also add St-Louis Cardinals to my list as plaoff candidates.

This season is also the last to see the Yankees at the old stadium. The new one is supposed to be ready for next season.


I'll always like the old one better.

Oh, I just saw the US sports section and there is alreayd a thread concerning this subject so I'll just have to take a seat and wait till a mod closes this thread. Anyways, Go Blue Jays!

Here you go. Now you have to do it. Because you've got a Round Toit.

Sorry, couldn't resist. It was sitting there.

Yankees won against the Devil Rays 9-5. A-Rod had a homer and Giambi had 3 RBI's. Not bad

The expert on TSN made his predictions this morning, he actually chose A-Rod as the MVP, Yankees to win Title, pitcher from the Tigers to win Cy Young, Uh, I don't remember the other mvps and rookies.
And the seasons off!!


-Jimmy-

A-Rod - Grand slam to win the game! Maybe he won't be doing to bad this season after all.

he never does bad during the season... its the playoffs he doesnt show up for!

A-Rod is on fire!!

Too bad Rivera had to blow the Yankees' 6-2 lead last night. :shk:
