Baseball Season Is Upon Us: Rant Predictions

Mike · March 30th, 2004, 01:47 PM

So another season starts, this time in Japan. Of course it would be the
Yankees, America's team. George Steinbrenner has once again paid for a team
to win it all. There is only one problem with his assumption, the Yankees
will not...

I pick the Toronto Blue Jays to win the American League this year. They are going to have a break out year.

someone's a giants fan...

your best pitcher is hurt
your closer is always hurt
last year's closer is gone
bond's will do good as long as they invent undetectable roids
alfonzo can't hit behind and protect bonds
your pitching staff is mediocre at best

lets be realistic...your division is weak that's the only reason you still have a chance

i never knew kevin brown, mussina, javier vasquez, contreras, and no-armed pitcher would be considered mediocre...whats the tigers rotation or indians staff considered?

and the red sox, great, mediocre or horrible rotation? lets look...pedro, schilling & lowe...nice....tim wakefield and byung hyung kim to round it out...hmmmm

Wakefield isn't that bad, by I agree wtih BK, never really took a likeing to him.

And about Bonds, yet to be proven.

That reminds me, is anyone going to any games this summer? I can only assume so, but I'm just making sure. I've personally got about seven game's worth of $27-a-seat tickets at Coors Field over the next five months.

Hope they're worth it this season...

Mike · March 31st, 2004, 10:25 PM

I am taking two road trips, well one for sure to St.Louis to watch the Cards and the Giants!! Sometime in late June

JGAC · March 31st, 2004, 10:33 PM

I might, I can get tickets to any games that aren't too big.

ssigman · April 1st, 2004, 10:39 AM

Crash_44 · April 1st, 2004, 01:21 PM

Who are you referring to, bitch?

ssigman · April 1st, 2004, 02:11 PM

apparently i'm talkin to you

Crash_44 · April 2nd, 2004, 12:49 AM

Alright, you want my not-so-optimistic-prediction? Replace all the Royals post-season series victories with the Red Sox and then have the Sox losing to the Cubs in the WS.

jtg33 · April 2nd, 2004, 02:59 AM

The Pirates fans are mired in the reality that their team sucks, has sucked for quite a while, and will continue to suck for at least this coming season. I've got nothing against the Pirates, or any other team from Pittsburgh for that matter, but you can't deny that pro sports there have been pretty dismal in recent years. Only the Steelers have had any real semblance of success in recent years, and they won't be going anywhere this year either.
