Go mariners they wlll beat the yanks.

I doubt it. They played way above their heads last year. My money says they don't win the west.

Cubbies

Damn, I actully went to Wrigley Field to see the Cubs play the Pirates and we got out asses kicked. We WILL get our revenge you stupid Pirates!

Last night on the Mohr Sports show, Pete Rose quoted someone about the Cubs in response to their 'lack of success'. "God told the Cubs not to do anything until I get back".

Although I am a Yankee fan, it is hard not to root, root, root for the Cubbies now that I live in north Chicago.

PLAY BALL, FOLKS!!!!!!

**BUMP!!**

 

[TWB]

Thanks Tigerjen, for the bump

Well well, the Indians are the surpise of the early season, getting rid of alot of talent in the offseason and kicking ass therein.

They are playing really exciting baseball, sweeping the twinkies and managing their best start since the late 50's.

John Hart must be hartbroken down in texas with juan gone and his team shrivelling.

I know it is early, and I may eat my words, but this team has something!

IF you look at this thread you'll see that I touted Doug Davis as being a great pticher.

So far?

2-0 With a Complete game shutout.

Heh heh

 

[TWB]

Oh by the way

Indians' starters, 9-0.


(knock on wood)

 

[TWB]

I like to admit when I am wrong.

(still knocking on wood)

Friendly bet if the mariners win the west you admit you were wrong and claim themariners are great and if they lose the west i claim that the ny is the best.

HeeHee Jacqline, how true!

However, in OUR league, the pitchers play AND try to hit! Makes things a "little easier" in your league!

Hey, "Mets"/"Mariners"... close enough!

 

[TWB]

I know it is early too, but the tribe has you both beat!

JennyOmanHill: You are lucky to get Robbie from us, he's great. The Mets should be very exciting this year.


Re:Seattle, Jacqline, hope we get to meet you in the playoffs again this year. You were lucky last year. . .

 

[lobito]

The Indians, isn't that the team with the guy who's wife (the ex video vixen) beat the crap out of him? And their doing good?

Hmmm, I must admit, I'm with the ones who are pro National League. There IS a reason they are called the "Junior League" after all.

 

[TWB]

I love NL play.

But, the Tribe is the best in baseball this young season, so there!

Additionally, Finley showed class by not beating the shit out of Tawney. Can't critisize him for not being an abusive husband. (Like that other Indians player Wil Cordero. )

 

[tigerjen]

Where are the FANS!!!

**BUMP!!**

 

[zantac666]

I think the Indian's are a good team, too, but I think they need to settle down right about now. It was good to see Kenny Lofton play some great games, though. (Please don't be upset that I said that.lol)

I'm looking forward to inter-league play when they meet up at home with the Phillies. Hopefully, I'll be able to get there to see Bowa at his best.

Change

Wonder if the change is going to help the Brewers at all? Any thoughts?

I am not so sure anymore. . . What a 4 game skid.

Re: Change

They've got some good young arms, but the curse of being related to the antichrist Bud Selig should doom them for the next decade.

Lopes was as good a manager as there is in the NL Central - LaRussa, Baylor, Williams, McClendon, Boone...all average on a good day, IMO. Didn't matter much, as the Brewers are put together all wrong. A lineup full of guys who strikeout too much and walk too little just won't work. This time next year, if they bring the young pitchers along well and put a decent lineup behind them, they could start to make some noise.

Dammit, my Cubbies just can't get it going, either.

Bernie and the Brew Crew

Go Brewers!
Three in a row since Royster took over!

Ok. Seriously, they have a few good things going for them and lots of bad.

Richie Sexson is a superb young slugger who is really coming into his own. Geoff Jenkins(Brett Favre's twin brother for those who don't know) if healthy should progress into the 30 homer 100 rbi guy he should be. Those are the bright spots for the offense.

They indeed have a good young staff. Ben Sheets and Nick Neugabauer(sp?) should be 1-2 for years to come if they continue to progress and stay healthy.

The Brewers are a year or two away from finally getting over .500 after 10 years or more below(OUCH!).

So there is hope for the future, but the present is pretty bleak. Be happy with individual accomplishments like Sexson hitting 50 for now.

Unfortunately they are the epitome of futility at the moment. I hope there is light at the end of the tunnel.
