hanley was my first pick and helped me win my league last year

I have the same pick this year, #5, but i doubt hanley will last that long this year....

what were first 5 picks in your league? was a-rod still top 5?

i'm guessing hanley, reyes and wright went top 5

and korea vs. japan tonight, k-town should be packed.......

[Chicken]

nippon! cha cha cha.

[Nananine]

The WBC final was fucking nuts. Nothing like national pride to spur players into amazing plays.

[dunkin deeznuts]

yeah it was a great game

and if i ever have kids, i'm naming them Bum Ho, girl or boy.......

[DaBestSpoona]

Boo

Was hoping for some post game with Ichiro where the usual shitty translator would mangle the translation and shit comes out like:

"Korea played well, but they shouldnt feel bad about losing as they played strong and may never know what winning feels like."

i think it was hanley, wright, sizemore, pujols, and lincecum or reyes. lol a-rod dropped into the hundreds i believe..

i was there! for all three games in LA.

we were completely outnumbered, but during the final our korean neighbors showed us some respect and started high fiving us in the middle of the game because the game was so good -- both teams played really well.

representin' asia!

How much were tickets? I heard something on TV that the cheapest tickets started at like $50

[Chicken]

i bought a three day strip on the third base side for $165 + $18 handling fee (bs). but some of my friends were successful at scalping tickets on the upper decks behind the catcher for much less.

baseball season finally.

[kiya]

Let's get this shit started..

I'm out of town for the first set of A's games, so i sold off my season opener tix but i'm ready for the Red Sox series in two weeks.

[dunkin deeznuts]

going to the mets-red sox exhibition this saturday at the new stadium

and then the second home game against the padres.....

citi field looks pretty nice!

[soonami]

Going to the home opener against the Braves

[bros]

excited for opening day. blue jays rotation is looking pretty suspect after halladay but the bullpen is good and if lind and snider play well the lineup is ok.

[Chicken]

i want pics from the new yankee stadium!

[DaBestSpoona]

damn it no 2 dollar mets tickets this year

[hawkeye]

i want pics from the new yankee stadium!

I flipped on the game today and thought they were at the old stadium till I saw the frieze! Same place with more expensive seats and a huge hd tv.

damn it no 2 dollar mets tickets this year

We walked around Citi last night and sat in a bunch of different places, all the views were good even way out in left field. I never really had much of a desire to go see games at Shea, but I will definately head up there to see games now, was really impressed. My only gripe is that the hot dogs were awful.

It's definitely a pitchers park, going to be tough to hit the ball out (unless you're Jed Lowrie ) kind of strange where the field juts out by the Model's sign, I can see why they picked up Sheff (besides to keep him outta philly) Mets are going to need some right handed bats.

They moved the skyline that was on top of the scoreboard at Shea onto the ShakeShack in the outfield pavilion area which was pretty cool.

Here it is:

I'm not a big baseball fan, but I am looking forward to going to at least two, if not more, games this season. My first game is in May, Yanks vs Twins. Not a big Yankee fan, but I'm looking forward to seeing a game in the new stadium. The other one I'm hoping for is a Mets game at Citi. I had a chance to go to a game as Shea last season, but passed on it because there wasn't enough time to call out, because I hate giving such short notice. This year however, I will call out if the offer comes up.

Also I hope to god that the Cubs can break that 101 year losing streak this year. I will be rooting for the underdog this year, mainly because I'm tired of seeing the favorites lose.

[dunkin deeznuts]

great pic hawkeye

i was at Citi field today and it was great

shake shack and blue smoke are awesome

and the views from all the seats are great yet

it was a bit surreal watching the mets at a new stadium after all these years at Shea

The honeymoon is OVER!

^^^^

yeah, shaddup

[soonami]

bah I booed too, he was throwing soft and wasn't locating shit. Change-ups are not Myer's forte, he needs to throw the fastball and curve more...

[Chicken]

the new mets are looking very good.

[scotty2]

the new mets are looking very good.

ya they do I just hope they choke again and lose the division.

[dunkin deeznuts]

neg repped again.....

mets arent hitting (i know its one game, but i'm including preseason) yet but if the bullpen can help them win close games, they should be in good shape.....

[james nicolas]

not a mets fan,

but it's going to be pretty hard for putz and k rod to blow a game

so playing the mets in 7 innings will not be fun for anyone

there's no way the bullpen will ruin it again this year

[dunkin deeznuts]

never say never.......

k-rod still makes me a bit nervous and has a history of being a bit of a nail biter sometimes...i'm just glad we got putz as insurance if soemthing happens to k-rod.....

[kiya]

Going to the Giants season opener, game starts in 3 hours and it's fucking raining here in SF.

[scotty2]

neg repped again.....

mets arent hitting (i know its one game, but i'm including preseason) yet but if the bullpen can help them win close games, they should be in good shape.....

your rite they can hold the 8th and 9th innings but any other team will just score in other innings unless Santana is pitching.

[scotty2]

Go Giants! Most of all go Lincecum!
