Walter Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Just received our tickets to the Yankees vs. Braves for March 19, in Tampa. It's the kick-off to Spring Break! Gonna take in at least 3 games this spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingzoso Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Spring Training Baseball (or Exhibition) games have begun. The Saint Louis Cardinals played a Florida Atlantic team earlier yesterday and were down 6-1 in the bottom of the 4th inning. Guess what happened? The Saint Louis Cardinals scored 12 runs in the bottom of the 8th inning. 12 runs. The final score: 6-13. On another note, the Baltimore Orioles started their pre-season the way they ended the past season. Losing to the Atlanta Braves by a score of 11-4.

paul carruthers Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I guess I'll start the thread for the new "contest" later, maybe weeks later--spring training has barely begun, so there's no rush... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingzoso Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 There is a Saint Louis Cardinals versus the New York Mets game on right now on the MLB Network. I predict the final score to be Saint Louis 9 and New York 4. Adam Wainwright is on the mound for the Cardinals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingzoso Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I know that it is only Spring Training Baseball but the Baltimore Orioles have not won a Spring Training game thus far. Their record at the current moment is 0 wins and 7 losses. The Orioles are the only team to not have won a single game so far. If I were a Baltimore Orioles fan, I would take this as an ominous harbinger of things to come and ultimately go badly for them during the regular MLB Season.

I predict another dismal season for the Baltimore Orioles (again) and for the people and fans that think that they are a serious contender to make the 2016 Post-Season. Meanwhile, the Saint Louis Cardinals currently have 4 wins and 2 losses and have been to the MLB Post-Season the past 5 years in a row. Regardless if the Cardinals win or lose in the Playoffs, Championships or World Series, They are a team to respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingzoso Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I see that the Baltimore Orioles finally won a Spring Training game. I know that Spring Training is just that, Spring Training. However, if you want to (hypothetically) measure a team by how they do in Spring Training, to the start of a new Baseball season, the Orioles are not in a good shape. Their current ST record is 1 win and 10 losses. I can only imagine how this must feel for the fans of the Baltimore Orioles that are die-hard Baltimore fans on this forum.

paul carruthers Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Well, apparently the scare that was put into the Mets fanbase yesterday is over--Matt Harvey cleared to start opening day. A blood clot in the bladder sounds serious, but Harvey says the issue has been fixed, so here goes openig night vs. the Royals... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume the rest of the league will play regular schedules. I know my Orioles open at home vs the Twins, which are my home town Rochester's parent team now after Baltimore was for decades. I will never be a Twins fan. Though I picked them to get a wild card on a hunch 20 hours ago, paul carruthers said: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingzoso Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 The 2016 Opening Day is this Sunday. For the second year in a row, the Saint Louis Cardinals are the first team to open the baseball season. This year it is against the Pittsburgh Pirates as last year the season began with the Cardinals at the Chicago Cubs. I would like to wish "Good Luck" to every Major League Baseball Team and to the fans of their favorite MLB team. GO CARDINALS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingzoso Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Opening Day is today. Every team is in first place. As usual, I and the other Saint Louis Cardinals Fans from around Planet Earth, have very high hopes and expectations for a World-Class Team that the Cardinals are. Year after year. This year should be no different. The Saint Louis Cardinals will make it to the 2016 MLB Post-Season/Playoffs for the sixth consecutive year. Yes, that means 6 years in a row. Regardless if the Cardinals do or don't this year, I will forever be a Saint Louis Cardinals fan for the remainder of My Life. There are very few MLB teams that have ever reached the success and adoration (and scorn or "hatred") as the Saint Louis Cardinals. Cardinals fans Love them because they win and win World Series. Many people hate them because they beat their favorite team(s) and win Championships and World Series. This is a question to the fans of every other Major League Baseball Team: When was the last time Your team made it to the Post-Season/Playoffs five (5) years in a row? Regardless of winning it All? I welcome any and all correct and verifiable answers. GO CARDINALS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houses of the Holy Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Go Cards! So it begins. Adam Wainwright allegedly grazed Andrew McCutcheon with a pitch. Since when is the hitter allowed to stand practically on top of the plate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houses of the Holy Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Not atop the plate, you can't. That results in an automatic out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will never be a Twins fan. Though I picked them to get a wild card on a hunch Welcome back Rick. Glad you got everything sorted out. No, not every team has a regular season opener. Baseball continues to fuck around and botch things up. For instance, my Angels open the season with a silly two-game series against the Cubs. Who are 1) NOT a division rival; and 2) NOT even in the same league! To piss me off even more, the games are at night. Opening Day games should be in the daytime. Why else is it called 'OPENING DAY'?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul carruthers Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Very good start to the season, that Cards/Pirates game. Don't want to "overreact" after one game obviously, but will this be a year when the Pirates and Cubs duke it out for the NL Central & St. Louis has to settle for a Wild Card? Of course, I've learned over the years never to count out the Cards.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am already starting to freak the fuck out. 0 wins and 1 loss. This may be the first time in the past 5 years that the Saint Louis Cardinals do not make the Post-Season/Playoffs.

Heh, like I said in the entirety of my post, I'm not going to overreact after one game, but that was still pretty funny. Looking at the scores, the uncrowned World Champ Cubs lost their first game too, but I'm sure no one in Chi-town is freaking out, yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
