2009 MLB Season

[Jason Harris 31]

Here's my shocking prediction for the season, based on the following facts.

1) The Sox have a Triple A closer who hits 100 MPH and was lights out in Spring Training (and the first three weeks of the season).

2) The Sox have a former closer who saved 81 games the last three seasons, although he is 39 and had shoulder problems last year.

3) The Sox have a current closer who has been good this season, but not great, and who has expressed he expects to break the bank when he is a free agent.

So.....unless Jonathan Papelbon goes back to being dominant, my bombshell is the Sox will call up Daniel Bard from the minors, use Takashi Saito (and John Smoltz) as teachers to Bard, and trade Papelbon to an NL team for a good bat, preferably a shortstop.

Royals over Marlins in 6. B)

I would take Papelbon and his creepy dancing on the Braves for Escobar.

Tigers win the central, Royals in Second. The yankees blow the playoffs again, and CC goes down with an injury near the mid-point of the season.

[DEATHTRON 19]

Royals win all and finally shut up my friends that are Rangers fans.

This year is going good so far...

Lovin' the Blue Jays start. I'm sure it'll all come crashing down eventually...but it's been fun to watch them pound around on everyone. Should be interesting when they FINALLY play someone from the AL East though.

I had to be to quick in making a prediciton about the Tigers, 10 runs allowed in the 8th following 6 scoreless from their starter. Now thats some bullpen work if I have ever seen it!

Uh oh. Mr May A-Fraud got caught lying again?

But in all seriousness... do the steroids wear off come playoff time? He'll have a bunch of tainted records and no rings to show for it.

...cant stand that guy.

also, go jays go!

I'm surprised that the shitshow that is the Yankees team hasn't killed Steinbrenner yet.

I'll be happy if the Mariners break 500 this year. Got the same 14 game ticket package I got lost season, I'm hoping to see at least one win.

Yanks and Mets miss playoffs, by a LOT

KC wins the Series????? Oh my

This is their best start in years in terms of record, And that's without Arod.

Yeah, really struggling.

[Jason Harris 31]

It's shocking to me that Matt Garza has been pedestrian this season, because he's been Cy Young quality against the Sox going back to last year.

[adam14 182]

i think its safe to say when you set a team high earned runs in one inning, and ose a game 22-4, it could be said that the yankees arent exactly in exceptional shape.

Yeah, really struggling.

Their (vastly overpaid) FAs are struggling; the entire A-Rod ordeal they're dealing with; can't sell out the new park. Yeah, it's a creamy season.

I don't think they would be able to sell out the new park due to the price of tickets, and when A-Rod comes back it is going to be a huge addition to the lineup because Pena does not even compare.

Anyone else see Rick Ankiel go into the wall last night? I can't believe he wasn't hurt worse.

[Race4LastPlace 31]

yeah didnt he just get released from the hospital. Looked much worse than it actually was i guess, his back seemed to jar awfully bad tho.

Yeah...just saw it on TSN....that's what made me think to see if it was mentioned.

[Race4LastPlace 31]

his neck and back looked terrible during the collision. Surprised he stayed conscious. said he had moderate tingling and numbness in face. id say so/

Also, the reds are literally making me ill. glad they won today, but that walk off error to lose last night just sucked big time.

[RadioGaGa 162]

Blue Jays pulled one out of the fire today...still enjoying this...waiting for the fun to stop.

Why did Cito Gaston not get another job all these years??? Not only is he a class act all around...he obviously knows how to handle professional ball players and LOVES to teach/talk hitting.
