Major League Baseball thread
Since NFL & NBA already have threads, I thought it high time America's National Pastime was represented. But Dick, you say, I'm a ____________ (Aussie, Brit, Scot, Kiwi, Canuck) blah blah blah- how does this concern me The answer- IT DOESN'T Unless you're a baseball fan, go read about curling or golf or croquet or something. This space is devoted to the discussion of, trade rumors of, legendary players & games of, notable arrests of, pennant races of, and the GLORIED HISTORY of a REAL man's game, the greatest game ever invented- BASEBALL!!!!!

Odd poll to conduct i reckon. It depends entirely on who you follow yourself, as to which team you despise....??
As a Yankees fan, im sure you know which way i voted..?? (laughs) Now we don't get MLB on Channel 5 over in the Uk anymore; broadcast rights having having gone to ESPN which is a pay station; I'd be glad to see some good information and conversation here though. I'm assuming, that despite your rhetoric above; us British fans of the MLB aren't barred from the thread..? Damn!! Just checked the ESPN UK schedule.... Yankees @ Tampa Bay as I write this..!!!!

Alright Mr. Gozinya I suspect you may be a Giants fan. Or should I say World Series Champion Giants. I know we have a few baseball fans on this forum including myself. I hail from the 612 so my team has always been the Twins. Since the days of Killebrew and Olivia I have been a huge fan. I am watching them and the Tribe as I type. Double header today at Target Field w/ daytime temps of about 100 F. Tribe won the first game and the Twins are leading in the second game.
So who's going to win the NL West Dick? It looks to me like the Giants should have no problem repeating especially if the Rockies end up trading Jiminez like they have been reporting. What do you think?

When it comes to baseball, anybody but the Yankees. My dad was a Cardinals fan, my maternal grandfather was a Tigers fan from the days of Ty Cobb, my paternal grandmother was partial to the Dodgers and my older sister is a Mets fan. I have a Cardinals cap with my dad's initials embroidered on the side.

And yes, I think the Giants will win the west. Is there any REAL threat?? It's early October that worries me... Somebody (Bochy, Meulens) needs to see that those MoFos get some extra BP!!!!

The Yankees are (to be ham-fisted with the metaphors and all) the Citizen Kane of basebsll teams. They demand superlatives and usually get them. I don't particularly hate them but they are easily the most loved, hated, written about,covered, hyped, over-hyped, etc. By far.
I'm a Cubs fan, btw. Yes, we suck ass this year. Don't bother, I know.

In the mix until the playoffs start. We get smoked by the Yankees in the playoffs every year it seems. A lot of injuries on this years club. Morneau has missed most of the season and Mauer is about two weeks off the DL after being on it since the first month of the season. They are playing better now but they have alot of ground to make up in the AL Central if they want to make the playoffs.......and then get swept by the Yanks.
