The J-man · 07-03-2008, 11:28 PM

I hope the Yankees and the Mets have better luck this year.

mapato · 12-03-2008, 07:55 PM

I hope Richie Sexon bats a little higher than .205 this year. Maybe a few more home runs wont hurt too. Erik Bedard and Carlos Silva should make this year more interesting for the Mariners.

~~Plot No Jutsu~~ · 20-03-2008, 08:19 AM

The MVP this year for the AL and NL will be surprising this year in my eyes.

@Mapato

Richie Sexson is one of my favorites and I hope he bats well this year as well. I'm hoping Adrain Beltre has a breakout year as well.

CLAY · 20-03-2008, 10:21 PM

Sexson isn't that great. He has amazing power but lacks H-E co.

The J-man · 26-03-2008, 10:49 PM

Is Ken Griffey Jr. healthy this year? I would like for him to reach 600 already.

Dutman · 03-04-2008, 04:24 AM

the braves might win it all despite a couple bad breaks already.

NL MVP is hopefully Andrew Jones (still pissed at braves for not resigning even if it was for 30 million)

AL MVP A-Rod

Now a rundown of what I care about: Frenchy haveing a breakout year, Matt diaz batting over .350, Chipper returing to MVP form, and the Braves winning it all. Oh by the way I love the Braves.

CLAY · 03-04-2008, 06:18 AM

Actually I am glad Andruw no longer is no longer here. I'll miss his D but not his batting.

Dutman · 22-04-2008, 05:31 AM

Why is this thread so dead?
Anywho, the braves are hot right now, and I'm enjoying it.

CLAY · 22-04-2008, 11:52 PM

BTW, Smoltzie goes for 3000 Ks tonite. He'll get it in the third.

Dutman · 23-04-2008, 03:11 AM

Smoltzy pitched great , but the bats went to sleep. He went 7 with 1 earned and lost the game.

CLAY · 23-04-2008, 03:12 AM

Don't forget 10k. It happens. Smoltzie is 3-1 with a 0.78 Era now I think.

ifeanyi84 · 18-07-2008, 09:38 PM

sexton just went to the yanks. i think it's official that barry bonds isnt gonna play this year.

i'm not an NL guy, so i'm wondering how any of you NL fans feel about the mets. are they for real? they started off the second half continuing their streak. i'm wondering how that will play out, especially considering that santana hasnt even really been shown how good he can be yet.

on the AL side of things, i'm just wondering what's gonna happen to the rays in the second half of the season. they limped into the break, but i'm hoping that they can at least hold of the yankees in the wild card race.

TriggaTron · 31-07-2008, 07:20 PM

According to whitesox.com, "The White Sox have acquired Ken Griffey Jr., the sixth-leading career home run hitter, according to a source. Word awaits on whom the Reds will get in return."

Is this good for the Chicago White Sox? What they had was apparently working, and being in first place in their division for over 100 days in a row is proof of that.

Personally I love the trade. Ken Griffey Jr has been one of my favorite players for a while and his charisma will fit well in Chicago in my opinion.

So, what do you think, is Griffey good or bad for the ball club?

ifeanyi84 · 31-07-2008, 10:17 PM

i dont know about griffey but it seems like the red sox trading manny.

CLAY · 31-07-2008, 10:33 PM

Manny to the Dodgers, Bay to Boston and minors to Pitts.

ifeanyi84 · 04-10-2008, 06:47 AM

manny has been doing his thing for the dodgers. bay has done aight for himself in boston as well, with homers in both of the playoff games so far.

i feel bad for the entire city of chicago right now.

CLAY · 04-10-2008, 02:07 PM

I don't I hate Chicago. I hope everyone from Chicago thats trying to win loses, even Obama. Lets go Rays.

ifeanyi84 · 04-10-2008, 04:16 PM

i have friends in chicago, and i know they are bumming right now. i cant root for the rays, in this or the next lifetime, as long as they are in the way of the red sox.

Dark Janza · 04-10-2008, 10:52 PM

I'm hoping Beckett can pull off a good one in game three.
