Let the prognostications and whining of the chowds begin!
Sox need some pop, otherwise hopefully they can get a WC bid.
Go Cubs Go!
I am feeling pretty good this week as a Cubs fan!
The Yankees will get a big karma hit for not letting an Astros fan start this thread! (Here's hoping at least).
No sense of decorum, those Yankee fans.
ROLL TRIBE

i'm no diehard Astros fan, but reality is it's going to be rough for anyone to beat them outside a healthy tribe team.
Hey Chowds, reports that Boston came calling the Tribe about Encarnacion and asked what it would take to get the slugger.
JBJ was the reply.

ETA: sad news: Tito Francona, Terry’s Dad, and former member of the Tribe, passed away today.
Haha. The Brewers will win the division, Teleee.Quote:

If they had taste, they wouldn't be Yankees fans. It's sort of a tautological truth.Quote:

Doyer Stadium is a great place to work on your Spanish.

JD Martinez to the Sox
Hope his heart is in it. Didn't seem too eager, but maybe just hoping to get blown away by a deal...picked the wrong year for it.
Man i'm amped on my san diego padres scooping up Eric Hosmer. Not the complete answer, but a nice snag. Hoping for the first season above .500 in like 6 years or something... LOL
I smell a wager, burgers at The Bird?Quote:

Rich Eisen, on his radio show Wednesday, said an MLB executive told him of an idea about allowing the manager of the trailing team to bat whomever he chooses in the ninth inning in an effort to ramp up more excitement.
“Baseball is the only sport by mere randomness and happenstance, the best players are not out on the field with the game on the line,” Eisen said. “Potentially down by two, ninth inning, you got 7-8-9 up. You can pinch-hit but sometimes your best hitters are not coming off the bench. In the ninth inning, the ninth inning only. Not eighth inning, not the seventh, not extras -- ninth inning only, you are allowed to send up to the plate as your first three hitters whoever you want. … If 3-4-5 hitter goes out in order in the eighth inning, ninth inning the manager sends 3-4-5 right back out there.”
No way they'll do that.
Let me rephrase, they better not fuckin do that.
Maybe the rule could be that you can start your batting order wherever you want to lead off the tenth.
Dodger stadium is cool, my favorite under the radar one is Three Rivers though.
Stoked to see a game at The Big O this spring, Jays vs Cards.
U mad bro?
got my tickets, stoked!

Long ass article about Ichiro up on espn. He's basically the new Ricky.
Former teammates all have favorite Ichiro stories, about how he carries his bats in a custom humidor case to keep out moisture, how in the minors he'd swing the bat for 10 minutes every night before going to sleep, or wake up some mornings to swing alone in the dark from 1 to 4 a.m. All the stories make the same point: He has methodically stripped away everything from his life except baseball. Former first baseman Mike Sweeney, who got close to Ichiro in Seattle, tells one about getting a call from an old teammate who'd had an off-day in New York. You're not gonna believe this, the guy began. He'd brought along his wife and they walked through Central Park, thrilled to be together in such a serene place. Far off in the distance, at a sandlot field with an old backstop that looked leftover from the 1940s, they saw a guy playing long toss. The big leaguer did the quick math and figured the distant stranger was throwing 300 feet on the fly. Curious, he walked closer. The guy hit balls into the backstop, the powerful shotgun blast of real contact familiar to any serious player. He became impressed, so he got even closer, close enough to see.
The man working out alone in Central Park was Ichiro.
No look, no tell pick off. Dang, I love my Yankees but this play was a thing of beauty.
Fan behind home plate "WTF"?!

Gotta stay awake out there.
Thought I saw somewhere he goes to the stretch regardless of situation. Might be wrong, but maybe not.Quote:
