kiya 1,079,333 Posted April 4, 2007 I'll start this off.. Daisuke is a fucking machine, if you haven't read about this guy yet, do yourself a favor and read up about what he's done in Japan and how he plays. The Red Sox spent a load on him but if he stays healthy then they've probably got the best pitcher in baseball for at least a few years. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mizanation 105,111 Posted April 4, 2007 i am so fucking excited to see how daisuke does. i hope he doesn't turn out to be like nomo. or irabu. he did pretty good during the pre-season. i am itching to see how he does in the regular season.... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kiya 1,079,333 Posted April 4, 2007 Go A's. Admit it, Zito is purposely throwing games for the Giants cause he doesn't like the idea of playing for yuppies and investment bankers. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cuddlysheep 4,863 Posted April 4, 2007 hahaha, yeha man. anyways, hopefully both teams can get thier first win of the season tonight. Go A's.Admit it, Zito is purposely throwing games for the Giants cause he doesn't like the idea of playing for yuppies and investment bankers. Yeah he throws this pitch called the "gyro" ball ive seen the pitch, whatever it is.its getting people out. i hope daisuke can defend himself from an angry mlb player getting drilled by him charging the mound. they dont tolerate that kind of stuff in japan.lol i am so fucking excited to see how daisuke does.i hope he doesn't turn out to be like nomo. or irabu. he did pretty good during the pre-season. i am itching to see how he does in the regular season.... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eastcoastrider27 54,283 Posted April 4, 2007 I'm a life long Red Sox fan, and I'm not even that excited about Matsuzaka. I more interested in seeing if Beckett will rebound from a below average season. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tyro1 318,287 Posted April 5, 2007 Detroit is going to have another excellent season, and take it all the way this year. I have'nt taken notice of any changes made since play offs and finals, but I have gut feeling. Then again you get hardly any news of this in Australia. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eastcoastrider27 54,283 Posted April 5, 2007 Well they added Sheffield. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aitsuka 2,329 Posted April 5, 2007 I like the jays chances the bullpen is actually improved from last year I think, although I think the rotation is a bit weak. the hitting in the lineup is a nightmare for other teams you can wells then thomas then glaus, pitchers will sweat buckets... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tyro1 318,287 Posted April 5, 2007 Well they added Sheffield. It will be good for them to have another hitter. How reliable is Sheffield? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chizzua 4,012 Posted April 5, 2007 Sheffield is probably one of the best fastball hitters in the league. I don't ever recall him missing an extended period of time due to injury other than last year, however he is getting old. He's still a good addition to the Tiger lineup. the hitting in the lineup is a nightmare for other teams you can wells then thomas then glaus, pitchers will sweat buckets... You have a point, but there are much more potent lineups even in the Jay's own division. Look at the Yankees and Red Sox-- Jeter, A-Rod, Giambi, Matsui, Cano & J.D. Drew, Manny, and Ortiz. I don't think Halladay can carry the Jay's rotation either. Daisuke is a fucking machine, if you haven't read about this guy yet, do yourself a favor and read up about what he's done in Japan and how he plays. The Red Sox spent a load on him but if he stays healthy then they've probably got the best pitcher in baseball for at least a few years. Daisuke's hyped. He wasn't even the best pitcher in Japan. And Spring Training is a whole lot different than the season. We'll see how the year progresses and if the Red Sox threw away over 100 million in acquiring him. Personally, I think the Yankees got a better deal in Kei Igawa. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest youngteam Posted April 5, 2007 yankees have the best lineup in baseball. i'd like to support a-rod but he keeps opening his big fucking stupid mouth. also, i hope someone pelts ichiro this season with a battery. a car battery. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
