Super User burleytog Posted January 2, 2009 Super User Posted January 2, 2009 Well, it's 2009. Just about 6 weeks till pitchers and catchers report. Yep, it's time for the baseball thread to end all baseball threads!
Super User Gone_Phishin Posted January 2, 2009 Super User Posted January 2, 2009 I guess it's time to start taking bets to see if by chance the chubbies see the post-season, what team will sweep them this year. ;D
Super User Muddy Posted January 2, 2009 Super User Posted January 2, 2009 THANKS FOR STARTING IT UP! If the Mets get one more good starting arm and send Martinez and Perez packing we have a shot. The Phillies are in good shape to repeat it will be a great race in the NL East.
Super User Muddy Posted January 2, 2009 Super User Posted January 2, 2009 Question; How many weeks in the season before the Yankees Apply to Congress for Bail Out Money?
ArcticCat500 Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Go Yanks, sorry there's one in every crowd,
Super User Hookemdown. Posted January 3, 2009 Super User Posted January 3, 2009 Muddy, I think Congress needs to ask the Yanks for bailout money. Ewww, I thought I smelled a Yankee fan.

Super User Tin Posted January 3, 2009 Super User Posted January 3, 2009 I'm just disgusted the Sox changed their logo from the "B".... Not cool But Tampa was a fluke and the Yanks money will get them no where but 15-day disabled list frustration so GO SOX!

Daniel A. Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 I kinda like the alternate uniforms. Aside from that, the Sox need to do a little more than sign Penny to compete in the AL East. On paper, the Yanks are the team to beat...as much as I hate admitting that. No other team has done as much to immediately improve than the Yanks. As I've said before, if they can't buy a championship this year, they should play in the Minors.

Super User Muddy Posted January 4, 2009 Super User Posted January 4, 2009 What do you fellas think more important; Doing what my team does ( Mets) and try to buy the best players, regardless of the team cheistry? or Build a team of compatible, but different quaility players ith a manager that knows how to motivate them? ex; 86 Mets, the 2003 to 6 Cards or last year Rays group?
ArcticCat500 Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 WE"RE BACK!!!! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ does not equal success. No....but you got to start somewhere!! Although it may very well do so this year
CJ Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Team chemistry and great management is a characteristic of most of the champion teams. Throw all of the talent away without chemistry and good leadership. The stars gotta be in line.
daviscw Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Are y'all gonna have a Fantasy Baseball league?
srv1990 Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 What do you fellas think more important; Doing what my team does ( Mets) and try to buy the best players, regardless of the team cheistry? or Build a team of compatible, but different quaility players ith a manager that knows how to motivate them? ex; 86 Mets, the 2003 to 6 Cards or last year Rays group? Personally I think trying to build a team from within is the way to go... of course, my team doesn't have truckloads of money (or so they say) to throw at every available high-dollar free agent. As much as I may dislike those teams who do, I don't fault them, they are playing within the rules of the system... so with that said, the system sucks. If the Cards had a $200M+ payroll, my opinion may differ somewhat, however in the end it's the lack of a competitive playing field between the haves and have-nots that hurts the game.
Super User Gone_Phishin Posted January 7, 2009 Super User Posted January 7, 2009 Well, looks like MB is going to be a chubby. To paraphrase another Crew fan, I wonder if Wrigley is going to host a steel cage death match between Zambrano and Bradley. I was thinking Dennis Rodman could be the guest referee.
Daniel A. Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 Giambi to the A's, Burrell to the Rays, Bradley to the Cubs...and the Sox still have no real catcher. Lowe is homeless with Manny. With the exception of the Yanks spending enough to pay the Rays' salaries for all players for the next eight or so seasons, this offseason is strange.
Super User Gone_Phishin Posted January 8, 2009 Super User Posted January 8, 2009 ...and the Sox still have no real catcher I heard Johnny Estrada is available. ;D
