So I read an article this week on ESPN I think it was that one if the Cleveland Indians minor league teams is giving out Jobu bobble heads soon to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the film Major League. I will post the article when I get to a computer but I thought this was pretty sweet.

Well new season is going on. Who are we all rooting for?

Have to keep rooting for my Pirates. Dont think they will go all the way but hoping for another playoff year.

Do you smell what Tap a Talk is cooking?

BoSox always!

 

[Drew]

Texas Rangers.

Just waiting for Yu to get back.

Of course we just lost our starting catcher and RF for 4-6 weeks at least.

 

[Jimmy King]

San Diego Padres.

Rough start to the season but they've picked up a little with winning their last two games, here's to hoping they can sweep the Rockies today.

 

[Wang Chung]

Any predictions for the season?

Afraid the Cubs will take it all but since this is an even year i dont count out the Giants. The AL really only has a couple of teams i think can win the whole thing. The Royals and possibly the Jays. Everyone else seems pretty even or terrible.

I don't have a team but I like the Toronto Blue Jays due to them having Marcus Stroman who has connections with a rapper that I like. I also know somebody who is really into baseball and they like the Rays so i don't mind them either.

Awesome that you're rooting for the Jays but just remember, if you're a Jays fan, you can't be a Rays fan too because they play in the same division and we hate them. Yankees, Red Sox and Orioles too.

I can see why you love Stroman though, how could you not after this legendary selfie?

The Cincinnati Reds.

They been doing really good this year and if our bullpen stays healthy and shit, we can make a nice playoff run I hope.

 

[TroyTheAverage]

Where the hell did the Reds come from? Holy shit. I didn't expect them to win their 5th game until May. I thought they were going to beat my Cubbies last night. I walked into work just after Finnegan gave up his first hit in the 7th.

 

[Petty]

Your joking I hope. The Cincinnati Reds have been a good team for a couple years now, just not when our bullpen is hurt and this making us not deep enough. Or, when we had Dusty Baker who would make bone head calls. Our bullpen gets hurt, we struggle. Period.

 

[Wang Chung]

No he is not joking. The reds were the 4th team in Central last season. They traded away alot of their players and by most experts werent expected to do shit this year.

Really, the Reds have had 2 good years where they could've been WS champs in the last 10 years but that time is gone now. They're not terrible, but I didn't expect them to do what they have done to open the season.

Still love Votto, dude is a beast. I also hate him because he rakes against Cubs pitching.

 

[Apoho Creed]

Wow the Phillies have impressed me the last three games, they are looking really good Pitching wise, and their Bullpen has been one of the best so far. Maybe mid 70's or wins is not a long shot for them.

 

[TroyTheAverage]

The Cubs with their best opening of a season since 1969. A sweep of the Reds was nice. I know they're going to hit some hard times but the feeling of this being the year has never been stronger. I'm giddy with excitement.
