Well, I have a feeling I'm going to be very into baseball this year due to the Blue Jays getting a facelift over the offseason.
Adding Burnett, Overbay, Ryan, Glaus was nice, but without this it would not have been complete.
GO JAYS GO
I still think NYs better. And I can't even begin to get a feel for Boston. There's just so many guys on the team with injury issues, age issues, or whom seem to be past there prime maybe. I have no idea. Maybe they win the AL East, maybe they come in dead last. Well ok, nevermind, that's the Rays place....
Ill say the Dodgers are gonna be good this year though. I just like the offseason moves they made.

im ready for opening day, how about you?

BTW, my company made this Globe which will be used during opening and closing cermonies during the WBC finals Monday.
I thought it was kind of cool.
And as a Yankees fan Ill throw this out there. Al Leiter is offically retiring. I always liked the guy and Im sad to see him go. He just always struck me as a classy, nice guy. Something the game needs more of.

BTW, Spency, how do you feel about the season not even being started yet and Burnett already running into elbow issues?

hahaha yah ..
but nah he said playing for the yankees was great and all...but it was too serious of an atmosphere...like when he played for arizona theyd always do pranks and stuff..(the infamous game where the position players (ie. mark grace, etc.) started pitching bc they were saving their bullpin for a later game)<-dont know if anyone heard bout it but it was great.] and now he really likes the rangers because its more laid back ..but still a good ballclub..not to mention hes playing more and had 29 hr's last year

As I said I always liked him in NY. Too bad he's not still there.

A few quick thoughts on my part.
Nomar's on the DL: I can't even imagine how anyone could be suprised by this.
Beckett was dominant the other night. If Boston stays healthy they have a strong pitching staff and could be a lot better then a lot of people think.
Sabathia injures himself inning 3 opening day...... He'll be back in 3-5 weeks. That sucks for the Indians. He's a workhorse who let's their pen rest. They really need him.
And I still say Pedro and Maddux can dominate. Something about guys with great control and who simply know how to pitch. If Pedroa stays healthy I'd predict 18+ wins.

Now all we need is for Mark Prior and Kerry Wood to get there shit together. Damn, the team will improve.

If I was going to be home this is definately what would be on my tv (I might record it anyway.) I think it would be big if Burnett can outplay Beckett this early in the year.
BTW Rylinkus, what did you think about Chacin (Blue Jays third option) beating your ace?

Becketts the best pitcher when healthy. Better then Dontrelle even IMO. If he can solve his blister issues he could become one of the all time greats.
You can call the Unit NY's ace all you want, but Id still take Mussina. And Pavano once he gets back. Just seems Johnson wont admit when hes hurting anymore. But the Jays definately shelled Johnson. Then again, Mussina cut up Torontos lineup pretty good.

Yeah man not cool at all. We spent alot of money on him and obviously were very optimistic about the injury. Bottom line is we need him healthy.
If healthy Im not sure he's worth 11mil a year. Injured hes definately not.
On a side Note: Pedro's now 4-0. 11 Ks last game. He's looking damn impressive.

i got:
giambi - 2hr + a 2 rbi double ( 3 for 4)
tejhada - 4 for 4 with a hr
jeter - 3 for 4
blalock - 3 for 4 with a hr
biggio - 4 for 4 w/ a hr
swisher - 2 for 4 with a homer
m. bradly - 1 for 3 with a homerun
so thats 6 of 7 players with hrs ..(8 total hrs)
a total of 20 for 27
...which equals .740 batting avg overall for the day
still gotta check on my pitching but so far so goo
Post by: Rylinkus on May 11, 2006, 05:15:00 PM
And why do stations feel the need to replay it 15 times in 10 minutes?
And how the HELL did he do that and still scramble to get to the ball and get it to Jeter and THEN deal with his wrist?
If you didnt see it watch Sportcenter tomorrow, Im sure itll be on @ least half a dozen times. As Im sure theyll taunt NY fans like myself by reshowing it 40 times this eve.
