Major League Baseball 2010

[Lowerdeck]

I can't wait for the season to start for one reason: Fantasy baseball. I have both Lincecum AND Halladay to strike fear in opposing batters. (My other starters right now are Adam Wainwright, Jon Lester and Hiroki Kuroda, though)

What is this, a six team league?

8 team Yahoo league, actually. Its a league at another board I'm a member of. It was going to be bigger, but last year we had some people sign up and either not even play once it started or drop out a month or two into the season. (I generally prefer a 10 or 12 team league in baseball or in football - did a 16 team football last year, and no way I will ever do that again!)

I'm incredibly excited for the start of the season. As a White Sox fan I think we have some promise this year. We've got a pretty decent rotation and some young stars getting ready to break out on offense. If Alexei Ramirez can get over a bad last season I think we have a pretty well rounded team. I don't know if we'll win the division but I think we certainly have the ability to. The AL Central is always pretty competitive between the Sox, Twins, and Indians. It'll be a good race that's for sure.

I'm also really looking forward to going to more minor league games. We have the AAA affiliate for the Nationals here so there's a possibility that Stephen Strasburg could end up pitching for us at some point. While our team has never been very good we have a very nice stadium so it's quite relaxing to sit on the third base line for a Saturday or Sunday afternoon game. We also have ice cream served inside a tiny baseball helmet. Though oddly it's always in a Mets helmet. Go figure.

Someone, answer this for me: Is Jason Heyward the real deal?

[Trey]

Yeah, he's going to be a fucking stud once he gets about 500-1000 big league at bats.

[Cactus Drags]

Is there a decent site where I can find a season preview, get some kind of handle on who's expected to do well and whatnot? Are the White Sox likely to win anything?

[Toe]

White Sox will compete against Detroit and Minnesota for the division lead and have a decent shot at it.

Neil Diamond singing "Sweet Caroline" on Opening Day at Fenway....pretty cool!

For the next 14 hours or so the Yankees will have the worst record in MLB. It won't last long, but I will savor it

The key question is Chipper Jones and if he is going to be back to his usual or if he is going to have a repeat of this year. They also added a power hitter in Troy Glaus and good depth with Melky.

bigger key questions:

which lowe will show up ?

which hudson will show up ?

will both said hudson/lowe be healthy ?

isn't there a reason glaus is on team 3 in 4 years ?

First at-bat of the year and Pujols hits a HR.

Glad to see nothing's changed.

Buck Martinez as Toronto's new play-by-play voice is weird.

[Meacon Keaton]

On the bright side, you only have to listen to him until June, you know, when the Blue Jays are officially out of the playoff race.

[Guest Mr. Murray Head]

Some of us are fans even when the team isn't winning.

Besides, if I only watch until June, I'll never see Brett "Thunderthighs" Wallace or Doug Drabek's kid!

Makes me glad I took the time to find Fox Midwest. I live in Illinois but for whatever reason the game on ESPN is blacked out for me. Oh, and Brett "thunderthighs" Wallace has all the tools to be a very, very good hitter in the majors. The Cards loved him but when you can only play first base (or DH in the AL) there isn't a lot of room for playing time thanks to Pujols.

Vincente fucking Padilla is our opening day starter.

Maybe I should just hope we're better than San Francisco.

Shawn Marcum who missed all of last year is pitching a no-hitter through 6.

I'd complain about you jinxing it, but I'm pretty sure I've seen ten people do the same.

Albert Pujols can eat a bag of ass.
