LedZeppfan77 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 My only trepidations was picking the NL East Winner but the Braves are always a regular season machine then get bounced early in the playoffs. I think the wild card, so to speak will be if the Nats can bounce back after a disappointing 2013 season. I also thought about a lot of teams for the AL Wild Cards, Seattle & the Royals, but in the end I think the O's will lock up one of those spots. I am obviously hoping for more than a Wild card for the O's. I think Seattle will be the most improved team in the AL. the Dodgers are the early favorites to win it all in Vegas Leaving the Indians out is also dangerous. And of course Boston. Yankees? Not this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LedZeppfan77 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Hmmm, would you want the headaches that might come with signing him? ESPN analyst says this will give Baltimore one of the best teams across the board. This final move. The move for Jiminez has been pretty much praised by most of the experts I have read Still cannot believe Brian Roberts is a Yankee. They are desperate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jb126 Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 Re: Cruz. Unless he's as dumb as Manny Ramirez and Alex Rodrigues, I would hope he will stay clean. Spring training games start this week, getting closer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul carruthers Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 33 days 'til opening night, and doesn't spring training start today? I see the Yanks & Tigers have games scheduled.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedZeppfan77 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 33 days 'til opening night, and doesn't spring training start today? I see the Yanks & Tigers have games scheduled.... Well Paul I am a bit disappointed at the turnout so far after certain members expressed interest in the baseball season. Maybe because its so early and Spring training has not taken place yet? Maybe they are simply waiting which I can understand. But they could at least chime in. I do not understand people. Lets just hope they participate. And no answer from the admin. I do not know if I take that as a no, or an "I do not want to be bothered with your bullshit"? In a week i will be down. So I hand you the reigns to explain anything if they wish to enter the contest . If you all want to change anything its fine with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul carruthers Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 ^^ Like you said Rick, spring training just started & the regular season is still over a month away; give it time & I'm sure some more people will jump in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pottedplant Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I am going to participate. Could someone please tell me where to go to get a list of the divisions so I can pick my teams?

Have a great time. Look forward to reading your reports. Thinking about heading to Baltimore at some point this season.... Well Paul I am a bit disappointed at the turnout so far after certain members expressed interest in the baseball season. Maybe because its so early and Spring training has not taken place yet?

kingzoso Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Long Live the Best Team in Baseball History!!!This is Proof: Edited to add:I know that My claim is merely a claim. I do believe in the Saint Louis Cardinals and their Power and obvious History to win a lot of World Series (or at least make it to the Playoffs, year after Year). There are not too many MLB teams that can prove and claim that for the past 5 years. Even if the STL. Cardinals do not prove what They are capable of this year, They are, and will always be, World Champion material. Ever since the 1950's to the 2050's. That is 100 years of MLB Excellence. (Who can really match that?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 ^^^ Is that a rhetorical question? Because we're still 36 years away from 2050, so you're kind of jumping the gun with your 1950 to 2050 100 years of excellence claim. Meanwhile, there is a team out there that actually does have a documented and factually confirmed 100 years of excellence and greatness. But I'll let a true fan like Walter have the pleasure of clueing you in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 You can't clue in someone who obviously comes on here drunk, again, only to stir up sh!t....he should've remained banned after he revealed who he really is. The St. Louis Cardinal fans are usually a classy bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The St. Louis Cardinal fans are usually a classy bunch. First of all: How do you know that I was "obviously drunk" when I posted what I posted about the Saint Louis Cardinals and the video of them winning the 2011 World Series? Did you personally witness me drinking or drunk?Secondly: How Am I "stirring up Shit" when I am only professing My Love, Admiration, Devotion, Dedication and Loyalty, Etc.. to My Favorite Baseball Team in/on a topic devoted to "Base Ball"? The Saint Louis Cardinals. If you call that "stirring up Shit" I feel sorry for you as you seem to be a person of a weak and ineffectual mindset. Retort as you will (if you do), I do not care or concern Myself with people that are only have negative things to say about others, like you do. LONG LIVE THE MIGHY LED ZEPPELIN AND THE SAINT LOUIS CARDINALS!!! TWO OF THE GREATEST BRANDS IN THE HISTORY OF THE PLANET EARTH!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
