Is anyone else excited that baseball season is underway?? What teams are you'll rooting for??
Baseball is okay but it's not my favorite.
nice input. I am a bluejays fan, unfortunately we traded our best pitcher to the phillys for a sac of pine tar. Oh well...still excited.
I'm a boston Redsox fan, and our best offensive player left, and for just 3 million more... We got another great pitcher though, so I guess it's all good.
I'm a mets fan and this season like all of the rest is gonna be mighty painful but it is what it is go mets1
Yes, I am excited that spring training has begun - means that the cruddy weather is almost gone!
I, too, am a Jays' fan. Unfortunately this season will be a long one, but in a couple of years, we should have a great team. BTW Cowboys fan, that sack of pine tar will anchor our batting order and pitching staff in 2012.
Is anybody else A.B.Y.?
Who is the "sack of pine tar" you jay fans speak of?? Go sox!!!
kyle drabek, michael taylor and travis d'arnaud.hard to replace 20 wins. I guess we will see.
Didn't the Jays get a new gm, or manager or something as well??
I am excited about ball season, although I too am a Jays fan. spring training has looked decent so far though. We love winning in April and September, and we usually fuck up from May til August. LOL I will be cheering for Roy in Philly, but ultimately I am hoping for good ball from Toronto! Yes, we have a new GM, Alex A. LOL Can't spell his last name.
I watched the game between the Jays and the tigers today on the Mlb network. It was a pretty good game, with the tigers coming out on top with a 7 to 10 win!! My sox usually have a great season all around, but I'm a little worried this year. I don't think we have enough offense with Jason Bay gone to the Mets. We'll have to see though!!!! I so live for the start of baseball lol!!!!!!
We will have to converse about baseball all season. None of my friends watch it at all so I have very few ball chat buddies! LOL Even if we beat your Sox a few times this year I will be happy haha.
The sox, and blue jays meet a few times this year. Not sure of the dates though!! I'd love a new baseball chat buddy!!! *smiles*
My fantasy baseball league meets this coming sunday for our anual draft. We do an AL league only wich is tough for me as I'm an atlanta braves fan and live on NL baseball, but I'm ready for this season for sure!
I'm a Giants fan. Our pitching usually wins a lot of games for us, but we don't have too much offense. Still, they did pretty well last year and were this close to going to the playoffs if they hadn't had a few painful losses. Maybe we'll make it this year or at least have a record above .500 which was very difficult to do before last year. We play both the Red Sox and Bluejays this year in interleague play.
I don't really follow the national league much, however, I do know a few players on national league teams. Didn't the redsox either get a player from the giants, or didn't you guys get one from us? I'm so happy the yankees lost to us last night!! It was an awesome opening night!!!
First of all, good for your Sox beating the Yankees...I guess. If it was possible for them to both lose, that would be better. lol
Today, the Blue Jays lost their opener to Texas after playing no-hit baseball for seven innings. Tough, tough start. Jeez.
Finally, the Jays and Boston play their first series on April 26. We will have some fun then.
cheers.
Awesome!! We will indeed have some fun!! We have Lacky, who is your ace?? Ok, that was mean, I'm sorry. But seriously, who are your starters, and how is your bullpen??
This is from a little earlier, but I know that the Giants got Brad Penny at the end of last year from the Red Sox. He pitched fairly well, but he's gone now.
This should be an interesting season for the sox. For the longest time, Boston was an offensive powerhouse. This year they're trying to go with more of a pitching and defensive team. I like the addition of Mike Cameron and Adrian Beltrade at third base. Adding Lackey pumped up the pitching a bit.
It would have been better to get Halliday instead though. Smiles.
At least we don't have to go against him.

Yes we do, I think we play the Phillies later on this year. I agree that we have great defense this year, but we need more bats. It was proven on sunday when the Yankees were hitting homers, and it took us a few innings to really get hot. Our pitching staff, and pitchers are awesome. We have a great bullpen!! We have speed too, but Jacoby isn't himself lately. He'll get his speed back, and steal home again *smiles* Go sox!!!!
I just checked Boston's schedule, and you're right. You do play Philadelphia twice this year in interleague play. You have a May 21-23 series in Philadelphia and a June 11-13 series in Boston, so Roy Halliday will probably pitch one of those games.
Imagine Roy Halliday against either Becket, or Lacky!! That will make for an interesting and fun match!!
It should also be a low-scoring one.
Yep, I agree totally!!
I hate both teams but 2 out of 3 new york not bad at all
and Ortiz should retire already lol
What team do you root for? And be nice *smiles* lol
hey tl, i guess our clozer is fraser. he barely throws over ninety, but hey, he's winning. smiles.
Great Yanks/Sox series there, especially the first game when Boston made the big comeback. I was up way too late listening to games! Also, the iPhone At Bat app is now accessible for anyone who may want it.
I know, I bought it, and now I can listen to every game!! I love baseball!!! lol
mets
Awesome!! They're going to do better now that they have Jason Bay!! He did great things for our team!!
I am a Mets fan and they are in second place
Behind, my atlanta braves!
It's all about my NLWest, first place Padres, that the national media is totally ignoring! Like the Giants, we're built around great pitching and defense, and with our young speed and veteran talent, we're beating up on almost everyone. I think, barring injuries, if we keep playing the way we are, we can definitely contend for a play-off spot.
Yep, the Giants are pretty good. My Redsox just finished playing them. Right now we're a huge mess. Yeah, we're winning, and now in second place, but we have so many injuries. Within the last three days, we just added three more. It's crazy. But people didn't stop believing for 86 years, so I won't stop believing because of a few injuries. We'll get healthy, and go far!!! For the poster who liked the Braves, they're my nl pick of the year! Go braves, and go sox!!!!!!
i am also a bluejays fan arnt they doing better than every one thought. haven't they made some good mooves this year even tho they might be small ones. don't they have the home run leader in the american lieg maybe in all of baseball. can't remember.
