Let's Talk Baseball

[goodguy]

let us stop making seperate threads for teams and seperate threads for random baseball things. just put them all in one thread and itll be easier, ya know?

[ministolz]

Good idea.

What's up with King Felix this year? 0-3. That's surprising.

[goodguy]

thanks

hes still young, he may just still be adjusting to it all. he was pretty good at controlling the runs last year and isnt doing terrible this year. he controlled oakland pretty good, but cleveland and texas arent the easiest teams to shut down.

[ministolz]

I still haven't got to see him pitch yet. Once Fox starts their weekly games I'm gonna probably get a chance to. I live out west so I get some Mariners games. All I've seen so far is highlights.

I've gotta get to bed now.

Go Cardinals!

[goodguy]

lol pujols is nuts... cya

[goodguy]

anybody else finding greg maddux's 4-0 start ridiculous... hes still got it

[haligh]

anybody else finding greg maddux's 4-0 start ridiculous... hes still got it

I would find it amazing if he didn't play for the Cubs. Such a waste of talent....

[TribeEyes24]

Maddux is the energizer bunny of baseball basically. he keeps going.. and going... and going..

[ministolz]

I love Maddux. Even though he plays for the Cubs. THe old dude still has it.

[goodguy]

yea gotta love greatness with age, almost like a fine wine. if the cubs win this year then 3 straight years that would be that the longest curses ended in baseball

[goodguy]

so anyone think mike mussina is gonna have a good year in NYC with his good start for once

[haligh]

I think so. I mean they seem to have a better pitching rotation all around.

[goodguy]

well hopefully they are done with the days of picking up free agents who live on the DL

[haligh]

Gah hopefully, plus the past few years it seems as if no matter how good a pitcher they pick up he ends up tanking the min he puts on the pin stripes...it's annoying as hell.

[goodguy]

yea but when doesnt that happen, im just glad a rod is picking up his game from his first year with us and giambi hgas got it back.... i think the yankess forgot they had a farm system

[haligh]

Yea, I'm still a little iffy on A-rod. I mean you never know about him...I guess it's just me.

[goodguy]

no i see it, i mean hes good, no doubt, but not ranger or mariner good if ya know what i mean

and godzilla still has me mad that in the bottom of the 9th, 2 outs, down by one he K's. it was like a week ago bvut still whats his prob, he started so well and once again hes dropping

[haligh]

That's just it! I'm paranoid that now that their pitching is doing well their hitting will tank! I mean remember a few years ago, if Matsui would have gone up to bat then it would have been a homer no question. Plus I honestly think A-rod was not that good of an investment. I just can't see him as a true Yankee. I mean no matter what your numbers are you have to have that special something to be a true Yankee...he just doesn't have that.

[goodguy]

they all lack one thing, outside of jeter, they werent brought up by the yankees... the yankess need to close the wallet for a little bit and show that ther minor leaguers are worth something other than trade value. steinbrenner started it but if anyhting hell be the death of the empire if he thinks money will buy a championship. he can buy any player he wants but hell never buy team chemistry

[haligh]

Yea I totally agree about the team chem thing. This year they are looking pretty good though. You can only hope though right?
