Post by: b.driscoll on April 03, 2010, 07:07:55 AM
Hey I'm sure there are many sly baseball fans here so who do you think will be good this year?   I'm a TIGERS fan  but really love the game of baseball. All I want is exciting 'roid free baseball.   ENJOY THE SEASON!

While we were thrilled by last year's Yankees, Ill make a wild prediction and go with Boston v Philly. A lot of people think the White Sox will win it all. Have no idea why.

The white sox are looking good this year.  Hopefully we have a good offensive season because our pitching is solid.

Even though I reside in Yankee territory, as a Brooklyn ex-patriot
my loyalty is to the Dodgers!

Joe Torre & Co. are a class act all the way.

St. Louis Cardinals.   
A good team this year, probably the best in the National league, and for sure in the division.
I just bought two tickets, in the Champions Club on line, for the Cardinal / Diamond Backs game June 30. 
We should have a pretty good feel for how the season will go by then.   And who am I to pass up an ESAVER price on an indoor air-conditioned club area. an all inclusive all-you-can-eat buffet and full service bar.   
A beautiful stadium too,  if you haven't been there. 
Guess I better take my kid, we haven't been to a Cardinal game in St. Louis since about 1980.  Bout time to go to one with the kid, Kid age is 42

Well, round these parts, the Chicago Cubs are the team to beat almost every year.
Might as well just give them the pennant and go home.
But then some one says "lets just play the 162 game schedules anyway, just for the fun of it". 
Funny, thing, those Cubs never seem to be there at the end.

Well you can't really blame the Cubbies. It's hard to catch the ball when you have both hands around your own throat.

Thank You for that one.  I can tell you, that one is going to come in handy over the next few days, weeks, months, AND years down at the red neck bar here in Cubbie land.
Thanks, You have made my day.

Dodgers may only win around 85-theyre not that good.

Go A's! 83 games could win the AL West....sounds about right.

If you're a betting man, take the under in total runs scored in every game the A's play. Their pitching is one of the best in the AL, they've built a team on defense, and their hitting lacks a big stick.

Looks like the Indians are back to their old ways again. They cut payroll last year, and they are expected to be last (with the Royals) in their division again. I see they lost their opener tonight 6-0 against the White Sox. Doesn't matter. I have always supported the Indians through their worst seasons.

Since we have moved into the Youngstown-Warren area, the local papers support the Pirates as much as the Indians. Can't figure that out; they are worse then the tribe! This will be the Bucs 17th consecutive losing season.

I think they (Pittsburgh Pirates) accomplished the 17 in a row mark in 2009.
I do agree, this 2010 season too, will be a loser for them, making it 18 in a row. 
But who's counting?

I have two favorite teams, the Dodgers and whoever is playing the Yankees. Albuquerque is the AAA affiliate for the Dodgers, grew up watching the Albuquerque Dukes, now my kids get to watch the Isotopes.

Uh oh Tom, would have thought Atlanta would be on top of the National League East with the Amazin Mets closing in fast and furious.  :o

Too bad the Phillies are currently experiencing what the Mets experienced last season, a long list of injured players. This just proves that bad luck can happen to the best of teams. Let's see if the Phillies can shake this dry spell off and return strong and healthy for the second half of the season, when it really counts.

Boston is holding it's own this season.

 It's those damn Yankees. The Mets should take at least 2 of 3 this weekend. That should help.
