ledzeppIV Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I have no idea, nor do I care. Someone above posted that he got booed at a game and I said I'm glad. Probably Washington. I wonder if he got the ball over the plate. Good thing Cheney didnt throw out the first pitch. They would have taken the catcher away on a stretcher.

wanna be drummer Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Tigers blew it. Watched the game at work for a little than heard it on the radio. Thought for sure Polanco would've scored that guy on third. On well, 161 more games to go GO BASEBALL!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would have taken the catcher away on a stretcher. He threw it high over the plate. they put the K-zone on him and drew another box around it and still was high. But he did threw it from the rubber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is your definition of do good? to them do good is win the series or nothing. and they shall not win the series or the division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is your definition of do good? to them do good is win the series or nothing. and they shall not win the series or the division. They will win at least 81 games. When you didn't make the playoff last year and haven't won a series in 8 years. Good is playoff contention. They are not the late 90's Yankees anymore so i don't think they can be compared to them. There is only a few teams i think that it's title or bust. and thats the Red Sox, and Detroit. I think the pressure is most on the Mets and Cubs in the National league, but a world series appearance, will probably be good enough. So by me sayin they will do good means i don't think they will suck. The white sox and the cards will suck this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would expect nothing less. It kills me how these people cant cheer for their home team. they live here or there but cheer for teams states away. I will cheer for Buffalo til the day I die.

And for your information smartass, there's no rule that says you have to root for the team in the town you're from. And I'm not from Atlanta....I've said that dozens of times to you and apparently you can't read that. My best friend growing up was from NY and she got me into the Yankees. That's why I root for the team. If you have a problem with that, I don't really give a rat's ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BonzoEqualsGoodStuff Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 The A's have their first game in America tonight. I'm so surprised how well they did in spring training considering Beane saw fit to unload our best offensive player and our best pitcher within a week of each other. Plus they had the sweetest facial hair on the team. Bastard. Here's to hoping for a slightly better than mediocre season!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRB Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 No hope in Baltimore...this is a painful process. It's hard to "throw away" a season but that's what's going on. It better pay dividends...mighty ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now i may be a Moneyball reader, but i think Beane is one of the best gms in the game, its tobad he works in oakland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonzoEqualsGoodStuff Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 No, I do give him a lot of credit. I'm just currently being an ass. I really really really really loved Nick Swisher ever since I saw him being heckled at a spring training game three years ago (before his rookie season) by some Giants fans, and he just shut them up with amazingly calm barbs back. It was a thing of beauty. From that moment on, I knew it was love. Beane has done some amazing things for us, like the Mulder trade that got us Haren. There have been very few bad deals, but I just like to vent constantly about the Swisher and Hudson deals because they're the two players that I adored above all others and I will never get over their trades. I've learned as an A's fan to never become attached to a player cuz they never stay there more than four or five years, but I just couldn't help myself with those two. It really sucks being an A's fan in this regard. And I know it has nothing to do with Beane. It has to do with ridiculously stingy ownership who are moving the A's.

TRB Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 The current Baltimore Orioles began play in 1954, picking up where the old St. Louis Browns left off, losing 100 games in their inaugural campaign. Their first winning season came in 1960; after this, the years 1961-1985 saw 23 of 25 seasons with winning records, six American League pennants (1966, 1969-71, 1979, 1983) and three World Series victories (1966, 1970, 1983). Following that period, the Orioles have had only six winning seasons in 22 overall, no trips to the World Series (unfairly treating the only man who could have taken them there [Davey Johnson]), and no hope W-L-wise this year. Since Peter Angelos purchased the team in 1993, 11 of 15 seasons have been losing ones; winning seasons in 1993 and 1994 (strike-shortened) under Johnny Oates, a man he didn't hire, and in 1996-1997 under Davey Johnson, a man he pushed out of Baltimore right after being named AL Manager of the Year have been the club's only stabs at respectability during that time. Fans in 2008 can only hope for development. Cal was lucky to be around as a young player for the tail end of the good years, else he wouldn't've even earned a ring. This is all stuff we already know but I just hate it and have to spew off a bit sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pb Derigable Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Nick Swisher was my favorite non cubs ballplayer (and Scot speizo because i been to his house). but swisher currently play for the white sox, so as rule, he doesn't exist, because the white sox don't exist in this town.

I've been a fan for over 30 years and I don't live in NY. My favorite football team is in Miami and they had the worst record in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
