2014 Major League Baseball

[BigJim13]

They won in 2007 as well, there are obnoxious fans everywhere but I hear ya. I've found that most fans in the cities of Boston and Philly to be obnoxious.

Honestly I'm just giving you crap at this point. I used to love baseball but in my hectic life baseball and college sports have fallen WAY down the list of things I have an interest in. I love watching baseball live, can't do it on TV though-it's unwatchable to me.

I'm a Yankees fan but the teams of the last few years are not the Yankees I know. The teams I loved were the teams if the 90's when most if their stats came up through the farm system and they had great pitching. Now it's a bunch if overpriced has beens.

I will still say though, that Cooperstown is amazing and if you're even remotely interested in baseball it's worth a visit. I've been 3 times, twice during induction weekend. I got to shake hands with Don Larsen and Pete Rose is always in town signing something that weekend.

Oh I agree, the Sox are the same way and the Dodgers and (insert most teams here). I agree with baseball on TV as well, unless its the playoffs.

Maybe you guys can get a wild card spot.

I would take that. Anything postseason I'm happy with.

I'm just happy we have a halfway decent starting rotation this year. Now, the bullpen has yet to prove itself.

I anticipate my DBacks finishing 10-15 games below 500.

Par for the course, eh? I work with a guy who had box seats to game 7 in 2001. That would have kicked all kinds of ass.

That year the Yankees should have won. Great series and would have been great for NY. Schilling and Johnson were incredible though.

I'm skeptically optimistic about the crew's chances. They have the ability and the talent to do very well. Gold glove outfielder Gomez with plenty of speed on the bases and decent offense, Braun speaks for himself in right, and our new left fielder Khris Davis has shown power behind the plate and good defense.

Short stop Jean Segura is a beast. No issues there and if we can keep the old guy Ramirez on third base healthy he will put up decent numbers.

Catchers, we have two greats. A bit better defense in Maldanado, while slightly better offense in Lucroy. Neither one is heads and shoulders above the other.

Slight question mark on second base...Weeks has been struggling big time at the plate, I feel Scooter Gennett will be taking his place there very soon. Lose nothing defensively and pick up better numbers offensively. First base is our big hole. Mark Reynolds, Lyle Overbay, Jeff Bianchi...I guess whoever happens to be putting up hits gets the nod...

Pitchers....Gallardo, Lohse, Garza, Smith, Estrada has been doing well lately...Rodriguez...got some names they just need to produce

Oh the tears of the opposing fans when Braun hits his third home run of the game....they taste so sweet.

Philadelphia tears are the best.

So, is he back on the juice? lol, jk.

Also...check this throw out from Maldonado....

He's tough. It's hard for me to be too impressed though because I'm so used to watching Yadi play.

 

[eclark53520]

Yadi is a beast and he pisses me off every time we play you, but taking a ball in the dirt and throwing a guy out by a mile from your knees...that's pretty bad ass. Especially for a younger catcher.

 

[anonymous golfaholic]

I just watched the video and they even compare him to Yadi, lol.
