Keyrock Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 The Al East is going to be crazy again. The Yankees have one of the best teams in the majors on paper, the Rays look really good, and, oh by the way, the Sawx are bringing back nearly the exact same team that just won it all and is arguably one of the greatest teams ever. We could be looking at 3 90+ win teams. RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks

We could be looking at 3 90+ win teams. The sox have a much weaker bullpen than last year. If they have a weakness, that's it.

Keyrock Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 The Sawx bullpen was already their weakness last year. It didn't stop them winning 108 games and rampaging through the playoffs. But yes, if anything is going to stop the Sawx this year, it will be the pen or injuries. RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
Hurlshort Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 NL West Los Angeles Colorado San Diego Arizona San Francisco AL MVP: Mike Trout NL MVP: Bryce Harper AL RoY: Yusei Kikuchi NL RoY: Chris Paddack Dodgers over the Red Sox. Eh, Bochy will find a way to keep the Giants in 3rd or 4th in the division. Arizona/Colorado/San Diego will find a way to underperform. Also Dodgers blew two WS chances, so I don't think 3rd time is a charm. I think Houston wins it, if I had to bet. No championship hangover this year. In the West I'd probably pick the Cubs to make the Series. Philly might make noise, but they probably need another year to blossom.

Guard Dog Posted April 1, 2019 Author Posted April 1, 2019 If I had told you the Yankees would lose to the Orioles at home two games to one would you have believed me? Or that the M's would take three of four from the Red Sox? The Marlins would split four game with the Rockies and look pretty good doing it? Or the Rays taking three of four from the Astros? OK, that one wasn't such a big surprise. In other news Yelich is on fire and Brinson is hitting .143 with two errors in four games. Man the Marlins got f----d on that trade. Hard. No lube.

Guard Dog Posted April 15, 2019 Author Posted April 15, 2019 Breaking News:The Houston Astros are in trade negotiations with the Miami Marlins for Wei-Yin Chen. They are offering international cash in the amount of $1.37, an open bag of reduced fat, cool ranch Doritos from a school cafeteria, and two used condoms with the purported DNA of Nolan Ryan to be used for cloning. The Marlins would be crazy to turn that deal down! 1 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell

Keyrock Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) Standings don't mean anything at this point in the season anyway. I don't pay any attention to them until after the All Star break. I mean, if you're 5 games up with 140 to play, you have a magic number of, what, 136?

Guard Dog Posted May 5, 2019 Author Posted May 5, 2019 The Reds have released Matt Kemp. Rumor has it Don Mattingly wants him in Miami. 34 years old, overpriced, often injured, AND a .200 BA and sub .500 OPS? Sounds like a Marlin already! From what I'm reading he is overly optimistic about his options. It's sad when the good ones are the last to know they are not that good anymore. "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell
Hurlshort Posted May 6, 2019 Posted May 6, 2019 The Giants have allowed 37 runs and counting during a 4 game series against the Reds. Criminy! Somehow they will end up with a series split, despite that.
