For predictions. I'll post mine when I'm not on a phone. EDIT: I had the 4/5 match-ups switched in each conference.

The NFC East is gonna be rediculous this season.

Barron will be gone by the time the Cowboys draft. I'd throw Cox in that pool of players I hope the Cowboys can land. But it looks like DeCastro will be our first round pick. Maybe Doug Martin in round 2?

Good news for TCU, who got out of that conference before they even played a game.

Running backs have such a short career now, they should take Blackmon. They have supplanted RBs as a more important role in an offense, IMO.

I'm so pumped about the Rangers right now. They are playing extremely well, and the Angels are 8.5 games back and Pujols hasn't hit in five games.

Spurs went 4-0 over the Grizzlies this season. I don't think the Grizzlies stand a chance against the Spurs this year. They are on everyone's radar this year and won't shock anyone in the playoffs. I would love to be wrong and see them oust the Spurs again, but I don't see it happening. The one thing the Spurs have going against them this season is their lack of defensive intensity. That used to be their staple and what won them four NBA titles. Now they score 116 points a game and rely more on depth than a prototypical 7-8 man rotation. But who knows? The Spurs won each of their titles under the radar, and I think their experience would give them the edge against the Heat in a potential Finals matchup.

Spurs clinch the number one seed in the West. The Jazz aren't nearly as talented as the Grizzlies were last year, and I can't see them beating the Spurs. As much as I hate to say it, I won't be surprised by a Spurs/Lakers WCF and a Heat/??? ECF with a Spurs/Heat Finals.

I can see Artest being suspended indefinitely. It wouldn't make sense to suspend him for 5 games and then the Lakers get swept and he comes back like nothing happened.

Tom Benson buys the Hornets. Guess they'll be staying there for awhile. Can't wait for NBA BountyGate here in a couple seasons.

Why did you play all the regular season games but sim the ALCS?

Indians-White Sox game is so windy you can barely hear the announcers. Definitely not something I'm used to while watching telecasts in Texas.

Former AL Rookie of the Year and All Star closer Neftali Feliz debuted tonight as a starter and was pretty dominant. 7.0 innings, 0 runs.

Rangers and Ian Kinsler agree to 5 year, $75M extension. Great deal for both sides in my opinion.

Is it just me, does it look like he could pass for Ferris Buehler?

I'm watching Padres v Dodgers on MLB.tv. They said Dee Gordon weighs a buck-fifty!? That kid is gonna be a base thief if he learns how to get on base consistently.

Watching the Angels lose to Kansas City = good day.

Not sure if this is a relevant question for this topic, but what do you think about Mike Moustakas in an eight team fantasy league? Do you think he'd be strong enough to at least garner some trade interest in the middle of the season? I'm loaded at the corners with Cabrera, Votto, Longoria and Teixeira, but could use him or one of the others as trade bait to get me an upgrade in the middle infield positions.

It's really not that bad right now. If you go during June-July, you'll have a death wish if you go to a day game. A night game is actually really nice, best place to sit is first base side. Also, if you can score tickets for the home run porch in right field, it's all you can eat seats. So if you spend $30 on the ticket, you'll make your money back real fast.

Rangers had a nice opening day. 13 Ks of the White Sox.

Great duel between Red Sox and Tigers here. 0-0 in the bottom 7.

This sentence is funny for a couple of reasons. .

The Jays would probably compete with the Tigers for the division crown, but with Tampa, Boston and New York in the East, I can't see the Jays playing much more than spoiler.

Haha I missed putting the Rays in there.

Is there a place where I can see all of the jerseys? I've seen a few pictures that have ALL the jerseys in one picture, but I kinda want to see them up close and see the details.
