It's not that i don't like the Rockies, it's just that they seemingly peaked at the right time and only got in due to the Brewers absolutely collapsing. It took a lot of other factors just for them to get in. They played like, .460 ball for about 85 percent of the season. I mean, I could see them making the Wild Card, but the West is ultra competitive as it is.

So in short, it's not that I dislike the Rockies, it's just that there were a ton of miraculous factors that allowed them to make the playoffs last year. With other NL teams improving, it's tough to pick them.

The west is going to be brutal. The only team i think that wont make it to at least 500 is the Giants. They have a few ok pitchers, but their batting line up is going to suck.

Its really a pick em right now with the Dodgers, Padres, Rockies and Diamondbacks.

Not to mention the fact that one of the best closer in history blew his last two saves of the season.

The real opening day is upon us. Even though that overseas crap was real games, today is the real opening day. Good luck to all the fans out there except the Giants, Padres, Diamondbacks and the Rockies. lol

nats looked so-so last night. great first inning, the rest of the game they had abysmal offense. anyone catch the interview of zimmerman after he won the game? he seems pretty full of himself.

Well, he's making a habit of coming through in the clutch. He has a lot of 9th-inning home runs in close games. I didn't see the interview though.

Bah no love for the Braves!

Lost to Nats on a walk-off homer and trying to put the Pirates away at our home opener. I'm surprised nobody put Braves as a division or wild-card considering their bullpen and batting order are nothing short of impressive this year.

Title Reads: Fuck you guys

Cleveland (1 - 0)
Detroit (0 - 1)

on a side note~

Quote:
Anthony Castrovince, of MLB.com, reports the Cleveland Indians are not expected to bring back OF Kenny Lofton in 2008 as the team will look to acquire a better run-producing (idiots did you NOT watch the playoffs in 2007?) left fielder. The team will likely look inside the organization for Lofton's replacement.
^^ Fucking retarded...

Haha. I laughed at the Zimmerman interview. "Guys like me have to step up." May sound cocky, but it's true. He's the star on that team and if he isn't stepping up who will?

Boy, the umpire in the Mariners-Rangers game had a strike zone the size of a postage stamp. Bedard didn't exactly have an easy time of it his first game out.

Still, the Mariners are an 85 win team as currently constructed, and that won't win the division or the AL wild card.
