Anyone here follows baseball?

I am a Mets fan...Im thrilled to see what the Mets will do this season with Delgado, Wagner, and LoDuca! Can they top the Braves?

They also are still pursuing Manny Ramirez as well as Barry Zito.

what team does everyone follow?

what are your early predictions?

oh...one more thing...gotta love this:

"There's no way I can go play for the Yankees, but I know they are going to come after me hard. It's definitely not the most important thing to go out there for the top dollar, which the Yankees are going to offer me. It's not what I need."

-Johnny Damon, this summer

 
i quit following baseball. it's just not fun to watch the yankees, mets, or red sox buy players developed by the other teams in the league //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

 
Mets won't top the Braves...or at least I hope //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Hopefully Renteria will get back to form...if Francoeur can pick up where he left off in right, and McCan can step up and catch well...they should be ok //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

The Mets are looking scary though...I still think they need another starter- I'm not a big fan of Benson at all...even though Glavine finished off last season very strong, he's a year older...as is Pedro, who's still having foot problems. They need to figure out wtf they are doing with Heilman and stop dicking him around.

Their offense looks insane...Reyes, Beltran, Wright, Delgado, Floyd in that order...pretty scary. Beltran is going to have a great season...and Wright will just get better with Delgado behind him.

 
the tigers need a center fileder and a leadoff hitter, damon is a center fileder and leadoff hitter, detroit has a lot of money to throw at him, so what do they do? give 16 million to kenny rogers //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

 
Haha, Kenny Rogers is decent, but in no way would have I gave him 16 millon. But teams will fork out the money for just about anyone nowadays. Gay I tell ya, just gay.

Anyway I am a huge Cleveland Indians fan. Imagine that right, being in ohio and all. But I was really excited last year and then once again they fell flat on there faces. So I am hoping they make the playoffs this up and coming year. They have alot of talent and decent starters. They did let go of Elarton though. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif So who knows.

 
Being a Red Sox fan, I am pretty **** pissed that Damon signed with the Yankees. But he's getting old anyway and we used up the best of him. He sorta getting overrated (I say that now, lol.) and i'm pretty sure the Red Sox will recover.

 
I also follow the Red Sox....

they are thinking about getting Glaus

Snova31:

Im surprised you know so much about the Mets. Yes Pedro is worrying me.....and we do have an awesome lineup. We just need pitching......and Zito is the answer. I cant believe we got rid of Gaby Hernandez as well as Petit. Those guys are going to be awesome!! If they let go of Milledge Im going to be so pissed!

BTW...keep an eye out for Scott Kazmir

As a fellow Sox fan I hate to say this, but...I doubt Boston's going to win another WS in a long time...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

 
i am a giants fan!! giants finally got rid of fat alfonzo for steve finley and they signed matt morris. the giants look like they are going for another run at the WS.

You are happy to get Steve Finley? That guy is about as washed up as the washboard I wash my clothes on. Yes I am that poor!

Matt Morris is a decent pitcher, but in no way shape or form is he gonna carry that team into the WS!

Also agree about the Bo Sox not winning a WS in a long, lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng time!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

umm well i'm happy for the fact that we got rid of edgardo alfonzo. man he didn't do jack shiet with the giants. also steve finley is a solid outfielder who just so happened to have an off year in 2005. look in 2004, his numbers are solid. the man hit 36 hrs while playing 162 games. one bad year doesn't make washed up. he'll give alou and bonds a nice day off (which will happen often since both are going to 40 and 42 in the upcoming year).

and no of course not, matt morris will not carry the giants thats why the giants have jason schmidt. did you read? did i state matt morris carrying the giants to the WS? nope. heck matt morris probably won't be the giants 3rd starter as matt cain and noah lowry have that spot. morris will provide solid veteran leadership to those young arms. if healthy, up and down the giants lineup is solid. it'll be an interesting year though for the giants.

 
I'm a Chi Sox Fan and have been since a little kid... They picked up Thome and Vasquez this offseason and re-signed their big impact players. They have 6 top notch starting pitchers and IMO have the best staff in the league. They may make one more move this offseason and get rid of John Garland (rumors of a trade to the Rangers for their stud 3B or to the Orioles for their SS in a multi-player deal).

ya i am a giants fan too. i heard about morris, but steve finly, hes like 45. they shoulda signed snow again and let pedro feliz play 3rd all season, im glad to see that slug alfonzo is gone.
