2009 MLB Season Thread

[enkei2k]

Spring Training time, a few more weeks and the official start of MLB is under way. Good thing we have the WBC here for the time being. \

Let's get the ball rolling...

your favorite to win the World Series this year?

Of course, for me it would be the Yankees.

[stiizy]

Yankees all the Way!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Phlip]

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn.
(this will be my only "contribution" to this thread)

Manny Ramirez finally signs with the Dodgers for 2 years. About damn time.

With that said... go Angels. I don't really follow baseball until September rolls along.

[enkei2k]

lol not a lot of baseball fans i see...i don't see this lasting pretty long. good to know that people can now officially call a-rod a-roid though. sucks to be him.

[ALTRNTV]

A-Rod has always been a tool in my opinion, along with Jeter. Matter of fact, I hate the whole Yankees organization.
Too bad the MLB doesn't have a salary cap, or the Yankees wouldn't have won so many Series.

[Sleepy240]

Phillies here we go =0! They just mailed me my season tickets for the year Tuesday!!

If the Yankees don't atleast WIN their division this year there is something SERIOUSLY wrong with the organization. With all the money they are throwing at their problems they are gonna be some real trouble if they can't beat the Sox. The Rays were a total fluke last year IMO

[enkei2k]

yeah if the yanks don't win at least 100 games this year...i'm going to be a Nationals fan...

[JohnnyDrfiter22]

Fawk Baseball and everything that it is!!!

Baseball players are underappreciative, Overpaid bastards.

I say let them roid it up all day, If they get millions to play a sport they love i want to see a 120+mph fastball or a 750ft grand slam! Let them ruin there bodies for getting the amount they get paid!

GTFO this thread

[ro240sx]

Angels will head to the world series. They may be missing K Rod but their a solid team.

[enkei2k]

so USA got their ass handed to them again in WBC play. i know nobody cares about baseball here but still...a shame.

Why is it a shame? Team USA really isnt geared towards this whole tournament. Actually I'm suprised they made it as far as they did. For one we have the long offseason where other countries are playing practically the whole time up until the WBC. On top of that team USA is all about the politics, everybody gets (somewhat equal) playing time, doesnt matter if your on a 4-4 tear or your 0-4. Either way I love the WBC, I wish our country was more like some of the others (Ven, PR, Kor, Jap) getting all into the game. Having fun with it and seriously pulling for your team to win.

[crazybb]

goo yankees!!!!!!!!!!
i have tickets to go see them in kc on april 12... cant wait!!!!!!!!!

[enkei2k]

awesome, watch this turn into a Yankees thread since i'm the only one posting LOL anyway Andy Pettite is on the mound and he's gonna do great this year despite his age. sure he did roids, but he admitted to it. unlike that other useless Yankee(s) named Clemens and Rodriguez. i swear if Jeter comes out and starts saying he did stuff, imma convert to a Nationals fan.

[Sleepy240]

ugh... hopefully this week I should have some pictures from Opening Night in Philly, and Wednesdays game also =P

[ro240sx]

The Angels play today after a postponed game due to the death of rookie pitcher Nick Adenhart. I don't think they are ready to play.

that is all i have to say

is that from 1908?

Johan pitching is a thing of beauty

[punxva]

More than likely hahaha, cubs fans are a strange breed, every year they talk shit and hope, but at the end we just end up saying maybe next year. And Johan is a beast

[iMAGE976]

Manny Rodriguez with a 50 game suspension for a positove drug test!! Dizzzam

[SimpleSexy180]

it saddens my heart. Knowing us SOCAL people, we dont give a shit.

apparently its not a "steriod". have to wait a bit to see what exactly triggered a positive test.

I've been disappointed with baseball for a long time. They have been handling the sport like a bunch of dumb fucks.

[enkei2k]

FOX Sports on MSN - MLB - Manny suspended 50 games for positive PED test (http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/9547972/Manny-suspended-50-games-for-positive-PED-test)

more info here, finally good shit!!

Ramirez is expected to attribute the positive test results to medication he received from a doctor for a personal medical issue, the Los Angeles Times reported, citing a source familiar with the matter.

[Flicktitty]

Lets go cubbies!

or brewers


but yea.

[DrftSLowHomIe!!]

how bout them dodgers!!! on a crazy run at home but its prob gonna stop with manny out hoprfully not tho we'll see

[ALTRNTV]

LOL @ the Dodger fans. Manny played with your front office for so long wanting to get more money, and then he pulls off something like this. What a great guy.

[obsolete]

He's losing money too. Let's not jump to conclusions. There is very little info out there.

[Sleepy240]

The problem is it doesn't matter what the circumstances are, positive is positive to MLB. So hopefully the Dodgers will be able to keep the ball rolling until like August when Manny returns :bowrofl:

[dert420sx]

looks like he tested positive for boner meds.

i think he should sue his doctor.

[enkei2k]

who else thinks joe morneau of the twins is on roids? guy hit 13 homers (career high) in 2006 and all of a sudden coming back from injury, he already has 11. they say baseball has the toughest drug testing program.

I doubt he is. He's had power developing since he was a prospect (and his power was rated very high by the way). Baseball does have the toughest drug testing BY FAR. Because its not just steriods, its a whole slew of various substances, and the penalties IMO are stiff, compared to the NFL where players get slapped on the wrists for 90% of things.

[enkei2k]

bring this ish back up! it's all star game night! i can't believe that nobody's posted here since May hahaa, no baseball fans here. but oh well.

your pick to win tonight? i choose AL, but that's only because they're 10-0-1 since 96 lol

[chato de shamrock]

I'm a big baseball fan, but have too many things to do so I dont talk baseball online like i used to. Go Dodgers.

[chato de shamrock]

Playoffs right around the corner. Time to bring this back up. Where are the predictions?

[Flicktitty]

i'm still crossin my fingers the cubbies will be in the wild card.

[enkei2k]

Playoffs are here! Let's go!

Predictions anybody??

[Sleepy240]

phillies period

[DrftSLowHomIe!!]

Dodgers win!! Woooooooooo

[gzer750]

i was at the dodger game last night. what a great game.

[WERDdabuilder]

just got back from the dodger game. shit was buck wild. my first ball game, couldnt have asked for a better ending.
got there during the 4th inning due to traffic/etc but as i took my seat BAM! hr by Ethier. and what a ****in rally by blue down to their last out.

[karl wasabi]

YES. The ending of the Dodger game was amazing. The Angels' game was good too.

[enkei2k]

yanks game was intense. walk off homer by texiera. good investment. and a-rod definitely looks comfortable this year. 2 games down. let's go for the sweep!

[andmattsayd]
