Ok teams are starting to break camp so it's time for some baseball.


I'm going to take a guess at the NL playoff teams but I'll go with the safe picks.


East Phillies

Central Reds

West Giants

Wild-card Braves


Although I picked the Giants they are probably a team that is one or two injuries away from not making the playoffs.


As for my Cubs, they are probably a 3rd or 4th place team at best.


As for the AL, I don't really care but I'll take a guess and pick the following.


East Yanks

Central Twins

West A's

Wild-card Red Sox

At a sports celebrity breakfast yesterday,Pedro Martinez was asked if,given a choice,(as HOF has final say on these matters)which cap would he wear at the induction ceremony should he be inducted into baseball's Hall of Fame. Pedro responded without reservation: "Montreal Expos".

The Tigers have the bases loaded and nobody out in the top of the second.


Go Tigers!


And of course --


Go Bosox all the way!

Great the Cubs blow a chance to start the season off on a positive note by winning a home series and Carlos Marmol blows a save opportunity in the 9th.

btw if you have an ipad or iphone, and you have the $15 "MLB at bat" app, you get free mlb.tv for the month of april. all out-of-town games streamed right to your ipad/iphone (local team games are blacked out when played, but are viewable afterwards).

I forgot to check them out this weekend. If they *don't* have Gary Matthews I'm already a fan.

 

[Walter C]

How about that? It must be Bizarro World, with the Orioles and Royals are in first place in their respective divisions. Enjoy it while it lasts.

I love MLB At Bat and recommend it every year in the baseball thread but unfortunately for me this year's application requires OS4.0 and I still have the first gen iPhone so until I upgrade in June I'm out of luck.

Boy the Red Sox are really taking it on the chin right now with win-less 0 - 6 road trip. I'm sure for their fans the Friday and the home opener can not come soon enough.

Looks like Mike was right. 9-6 Sox over Yanks going into the ninth. In other news, Manny Ramirez rumored to have blown another steroid test and in lieu of a 100 game suspension, he's calling it quits. Now this will be my last post until June. Because around my house, baseball doesn't start until someone hoists up a certain 35 pound silver cup.

 

[Mike Frezon]

Horrible news about Manny. Best right-handed hitter I've ever seen.


What a screw-up.

I remember Harmon Killebrew's final playing years rather well. He was a joy to watch, and he really did hit home runs a long way. Those were some wonderful days to be a young boy and a baseball fan. Watching the likes of Killebrew, Carew, Oliva, and Tovar was a joy.
