I second the Pirates.

You know Bobby Cox is going to get manager of the year just bc this is supposed to be his last.

Rawrlolsauce! · « **Reply #7 on:** March 28, 2010, 11:13:33 PM »

Bobby Cox gets ejected 12 times.
Youk gets hit by a pitch 23 times.

Prediction: Rawrlolsauce comes in last in the Redemption fantasy league.

Prediction: I come in second to last.

The Pirates are going to be exciting this year! At least I hope so since I drafted a few of their players for my fantasy teams.

As long as anyone EXCEPT the Yankees wins I'm happy.

Rawrlolsauce! · « **Reply #10 on:** March 29, 2010, 12:04:29 AM »

Prediction: Rawrlolsauce comes in 9th place, with Ring Wraith going in 10th.
Prediction: Rawrlolsauce will be happy he finished in not-last place. The fact he beat Ring Wraith would be a bonus.

YANKEES!

The Yankees winning the World Series is like a demon being redeemed.

Tyler, I forget when we talked at Nats...do you play baseball competitively? Someone I talked to did and I thought it was you.

How come people luv to hate on the Yankees? Do you hate the red sox as much? I mean they throw around a lot of money too to get whoever they want. What's that? You hate the Yankees because they win too much? How about the Patriots? Seems like they were winning the superbowl over half of this past decade! Do you hate them too?

Cameron the Conqueror · « **Reply #17 on:** March 29, 2010, 11:35:01 AM »

Giants. Been looking at the preseason rankings recently?

Football has profit-sharing and salary caps. I'm impressed by teams like the Patriots who find the way to win a lot.

Baseball does not have any type of reasonable profit-sharing. New York teams have an unfair advantage because they have a ton of money. And since the advent of free agency, and more so this century, very few players have loyalty to cities or teams. Most players follow the money. For every Mauer, there is a Texiera, A-Fraud, Giambi, Clemens and Granderson. I do not "hate" the Yankees. I just get tired of hearing all about them from the news and their fanbase.

well, Tom Brady makes me sick! Peyton Manning for life!! Here in Knoxville, home of the vols, we might have as many Colts fans as some places in Indiana!

Not to say that Mauer gets chump change either. Especially after the deal the Twins just gave him. But if you ask most Minnesotans, I'd bet they'd say it was money well spent.

Rawrlolsauce! · « **Reply #21 on:** March 29, 2010, 12:16:40 PM »

The Mauer deal is awful. The Twins are going to be in a pickle in years to come.

Giving a GREAT hitter with unproven power $23 million / year = Bad idea.
Giving a catcher a 8 year deal = Bad idea.
Giving someone with a history of injuries = Bad idea.

Then again, it would be franchise suicide to let Mauer walk. Seems like half the people I meet think Mauer is the most important guy since Jesus.

Only half? You must spend a lot of time outside of MN...Unless the other half believe he is more important than Jesus. Yeah, Twins fans can get crazy about their team...

Preseason rankings mean nothing.

I disagree. NFL Giants, NY Jets, MLB Mets? Only Yankees have such a high payroll on their team is because of George. The other NY teams really do not pay high payrolls at all.

I mostly agree. Baseball is played differently in preseason that it is in the regular season. However, with the Giants having one of the best pitching staffs in the MLB, and so far good hitting, they will be very good. I can't tell you how many 2-1, 3-2, etc games we lost last year. The Giants giving up more than 5 runs was almost unheard of. If they can hit as they are now, they will be very powerful (and as they are very young now, they can only improve).
