Seriously can't fucking wait..... posted my predictions for the season on the Offseason thread... Let's Play Ball!!!

 

[Chris]

IT'S TIME! Well in like 30 minutes.

 

[zigglerHEEL]

This Just In........ Bryce Harper is good.

 

[Chris]

Fucking Japanese fucker lost his fucking perfect game with one fucking out left. FUCKING FUCK!

 

[zigglerHEEL]

Hey [MENTION=1891]Chris[/MENTION], letting Hamilton walk looks pretty fucking good at this point..... What would you do with Profar?? move Kinsler to the outfield? maybe try to trade Kinsler?

I said last summer that if we didn't win a World Series, we shouldn't keep Hamilton (would rather us not keep him either way, but felt like we'd have to if we won) because of how volatile he is, even if he does good, I'd just rather him not be on my team no matter how much I love the guy, he just wasn't worth the money he was wanting. IDEK what to do with Profar really, definitely not trade Kinsler though.

Really wish we would have fucking tried with Napoli, dude was probably my favorite character last year, hated to see him go, especially now that he's doing so good.

 

[zigglerHEEL]

yeah he's starting to catch fire up there, I'm surprised that they didn't give him a call when his initial deal with Boston fell through (maybe they did and didn't get anywhere)

 

[Chris]

I bought a fucking Napoli shirt at a game last summer too and now every time I wear it, I die a little inside.

Peace out, Ryan Braun.

I guess logic and common sense have been vindicated.

"Baseball's all-steroid team"

First base: Starter: Mark McGwire. Backups: Rafael Palmeiro, Jason Giambi and David Ortiz. (In purgatory: Jeff Bagwell.)

Second base: Starter: Bret Boone. Backup: Marcus Giles (I mean, come on. Duh.) and Chuck Knoblauch (He said he took them but they didn't help him. Whatever.)

Third base: Starter: Alex Rodriguez. Backup: Ken Caminiti.

Shortstop: Starter: Miguel Tejada. Backup: Jhonny Peralta and Nomar Garciaparra.

Outfield: (Folks we are DEEP in the outfield). Left field: Barry Bonds. Center field: Lenny Dykstra. Right field: Sammy Sosa. Backups: Gary Sheffield, Rafael Palmeiro, Ryan Braun, Jose Canseco, Manny Ramirez.

Designated hitter: Rafael Palmerio. Backup: Manny Ramirez.

Catcher: Starter: Mike Piazza. Backup: Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez.
(STATISTICAL NOTE: My starting lineup of Bonds (762), Rodriguez (647), Sosa (609), McGwire (583), Palmeiro (569), Piazza (427), Tejada (307), Boone (252) and Dykstra (81) combined for 4,237 home runs.)

Starting pitchers: No 1: Roger Clemens. No. 2 Andy Pettitte. No. 3 Kevin Brown, No. 4 Chuck Finley, No. 5 Jason Grimsley. (Note: Grimsley wasn't a great pitcher. But he deserves a roster spot for fingering Clemens and Pettitte in a major drug investigation.)

Closers: John Rocker and Eric Gagne. (I'm not going to tell either that they're only the setup guy.)

[Chris]

I'd pay money to watch that team.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

Yeah, sick of this PED shit. These guys aren't gonna stop cheatin' and the game is more fun with them so Baseball is only hurtin' themselves in this climate to not just exploit this.

 

[Killswitch]

I hope Miggy's clean. He is fun to watch annihilate the ball. Saw this game
