I have been waiting expecting the Tigers collapse all season, I didnt think there was any way this would continue and when they went something like 19-37 towards the end of the season I thought it had come, then they beat the Yankees :lol: , Kenny Rogers somehow figured out how to pitch in the postseason, and are now good and rested to face whoever wins in the NL, looks like Detroitt is gonna win after all (which means I'll need to put up with the annoying SW Ontarians from Windsor etc going on about the Tigers all winter :( ).Quote:

Virg, Higley, although we've gone over this before, I feel your pain with my poor Bosox.
Traditionally, I've always hated the Mets and I certainly do not want to see them win the World Series, but I love this guy:

Julio Franco: still playing baseball at the incredible age of 48 years old. And not just playing the game, but playing it pretty darn well.
Go Tigers. I'm rooting for them!! And Julio Franco is amazing.
Sheesh! I'm dying to see who wins the Cardinals/Mets series. I'm hoping for the Cardinals only because I only live 4 hours away and I'm hoping to get tickets to a game - to see my Tigers of course!!.
Mets are still alive! :D :D Sorry Papaya the Cards are not taking it :D .
Big Game Tonight!!! I Can't Wait.
I would love to see the Mets and the Tigers in the World Series, those are two teams I don't mind, keeping in mind there are only teams I don't like, and teams I don't mind beyond the Red Sox, that would be as good as it gets for me.
Ahh, the Cards took it. Looks like as much as I hate to say it, I'm rooting for one of the Red Sox division rivals in the World Series. Well let's all hope for a Tigers win!
EDIT: Sorry for double-posting, but you know.
Poor Mets. I don't know why, but I can't warm up to the Cards at all. Go Tigers.

Wow, can't believe the Cards pulled off game 1. I didn't get a chance to see it so I don't know if the Tigers played poorly, or the Cards played well, or if the game just sorta went their way, but I am quite surprised. Anyone have any comments on the game?

Forget game 1. Tigers all the way from now on. Did you get tickets, Papaya?
Bump
I was looking for another thread about beer and I found this one, since baseball season is getting close I thought I would revive it!
yeah, baseball season's getting close but my jays are gonna suck - maybe its time to trade halladay & get some more youngsters for the future......
Bet Virgil knows just how I feel about this particular subject :D I have a good feeling about the Indians this year!
Yes I do Higley. But I think the Twins may be the best team in that division this year. ;) But we'll see. The game has to be played on the fied not by predictions. My Balitmore Orioles will be lucky to climb out of last place. :(
Yes...that time of year....
Glad to see that Randy Johnson is going to at least pitch another year...although that team...
Guess for this year I'll just pull for individual players...although the Red Sox have a heck of a pitching staff...
*feels his testosterone levels rising, which peak from April to October*
Okay, last year really surprised me, and, for once, I felt relatively indifferent, not really feeling a fan of either teams. Congratulations to the Phillies, nonetheless - they have had a rough few decades, and it seemed about their time to get somewhere.
My teams: for the National League - Atlanta Braves (who always seem to do so-so). For the American League (mind you, I have loved them even when they did not do so well) - Boston Red Sox. Of course, I support my most local team, Seattle Mariners, too, and have seen a few games of theirs.
Funny that you mention this, because I had a gut feeling the other day, while watching the SF Giants practice, that they may have a good season this year - the same with the Cardinals, but I cannot explain my rationales - just an inkling. I felt relieved to see that Johnson will pitch another season, and prize him (even while he pitched for the Yankees - grrr!) as one of the few long-standing players who has not, at least to my knowledge, done the steroids thing - ahem! (Bonds, McGwire, Rodriguez) ah-choo! (Canseco, Clemens) . . . excuse me!Quote:

My whole house is with you on that one....:lol::D:)Quote:

I don't think the organization is really any worse than any other team. However, my very favorite baseball team is...a secret for now. But it's NL.
I have n more problem with the Yankees than I do the red sox. Hate having to compete with both in the same division though
hmmm... intriguingQuote:

Me too. Derek Jeter is all class. He's a great young man, especially for a hot shot ball player.Quote:

haha, that story about Ortiz's jersey was big here in New York. It was front page on some of the newspapers. :) Thank you for your kind comment Mono. You are a perfect gentleman here and one with such grace.Quote:

I hate when stadiums are renamed to take on the awful brand names of their sponsors--like Gillette or Progressive. Jacob's Field will always be Jacob's field to me. I still feel sick when I think about it.
Yeah I know what you mean about the stadium names. The Mets lucked out though. Their new stadium will be sponsored by Citi Bank and so it will be called Citi Field, which works out nicely with a team named the Metropolitans.Quote:

I do that with so many things that have their names changed because I still think of them with the original name. It seems like I just can't make myself use the new names. I just don't like them.Quote:

Then, if they do make it to at least one of the playoff series, that will be a pleasant surprise for me. :)
Nevertheless, I will say
GO BREWERS!!!!!
