Baseball Talk

[kiya]

So baseball season started yesterday...

Thoughts? Predictions? Shit Talking?

[cuddlysheep]

go giants.

[kiya]

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.

[mizanation]

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....

[kiya]

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.

[cuddlysheep]

hahaha, yeha man. anyways, hopefully both teams can get thier first win of the season tonight.

Go A's.

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

jays jays jays

[evisu 2000]

oaktown baby.

[mizanation]

mariners! or more specifically, ichiro!

[nettiemoore]

blue jays fan here. last year the team got much better and were a dozen or so games over 500. hopefully this year they can improve on that and challnege the red sox and yankees.

[derek]

Go A's I got the mlb.tv package for the year so I'll be watching all your inferior money grubbing teams

[lil brown brother]

im a phillies fan .... but the mets look scary i hope their bullpen implodes and leave wagner useless .. and i hope pedro never gets back to his old form

[Larry Bird]

cardinals, astros both 0-2? cardinals lost a couple of good starters and carpenter is out next start...im going with the mets to win the national league pennant...maybe milwakee in the central and the cubs taking the wild card (they better take something with all that $$ they spent in the offseason)

american league i think bostons gonna grab that shit again...yankees and the blue jays, yes the blue jays..i almost forgot the were kinda in the playoff race last year.

im going to my first game of the season friday night...i love april thru october.

anybody been to any games yet?

zito will get better kiya, hes always bad on opening day (0-3) with like a 9.00 era..

[eastcoastrider27]

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.

[nothx]

Go YANKEES!!! Go Chieng-Ming Wang!!!

[Tyro1]

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.

[eastcoastrider27]

Well they added Sheffield.

[aitsuka]

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...

[Tyro1]

Well they added Sheffield.

It will be good for them to have another hitter. How reliable is Sheffield?

i remember watching this show and they said that the pitch was created by this scientist or something and they showed like a ... simulation of how it worked. lol

on a side note - does anyone collect baseball cards?

might have to stock up on his rookie cards or something.

[chizzua]

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.

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.

[dizzhizz]

Go Dodgers despite their shitty 0-2 start...reppin for the home team!

[nettiemoore]

toronto lost to detroit they were down one point 10-0 but fought back to make it 10-9 but it wasnt enough.

[mspark]

Yankees baby. The young pups are gonna be even better this year (Cano,Wang,Cabrera) and i have a feeling bitchass A-Rod wont let us down this season.

[kiya]

The A's just beat the Mariners to a pulp.

[Guest youngteam]

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.

[cureOne]

Fuck the yankees, the dodgers are off to a fucking terrible start and the angels are 3-0 bitch. We'll see about daisuke in about 10 minutes, I wish I had mlb.tv for work...

[Miles]

Derek Jeter will win MVP and punish your wife.
