MLB 2008 Season Discussion - Blu-ray Forum

SDon1969 · 05-16-2008, 08:29 PM

I didn't see a thread dedicated to this MLB regular season. Probably because it's still a bit early to get too serious about baseball, but let's get things rolling by saying who your team is, how they are doing, and your thoughts on thier progress thus far. Later this Fall watch for a "MLB Playoff 2008 Discussion".

For my part, I'm deep in the heart of Red Sox country. They're doing okay, starting pitching is pretty good but the bullpen is currently messing up some games. In our division, Tampa Bay is actually 1 game ahead of the Sox with the Yanks in last, back 4.5 games. TB in first? Craaaazy! I don't expect them to be able to hold onto that top spot, but who knows! They have a better manager, some better players and a little more energy than usual.

Go Sox!

jj5206 · 05-16-2008, 10:40 PM

GO CUBS!!!! 2 games in first in the NL central right now

Back in March I picked the Rays to win the World Series. So far, it looks like a pretty good bet.

Clark Kent · 05-18-2008, 03:57 AM

Sadly I think my beloved Braves chance for the playoffs ended when Smoltz's arm finally wore out. At this point I'm just hoping Chipper hits near .400 to keep the season interesting.

Bigdog · 05-19-2008, 02:00 PM

Wow the Yankees are swept by the mets, cant wait to hear the dog hammer mike on wfan today for that one!

I know to never count them out but this is without question the worst yankee team in the last 5 years easy, maybe even a decade.

SDon1969 · 05-19-2008, 02:03 PM

Hank Steinbrenner will straighten them out! NOT!

Sox are back in first place, two homers by Big Poppy yesterday. Sox have the #1 offense in the MLB, averaging over 10 hits per game. Nice!

Beta Man · 05-19-2008, 02:16 PM

Let's Go Mets!!!!

hc666 · 05-19-2008, 03:28 PM

Let's Go Bluejays!

Will be yet another plus .500 for the Jays... the most consistent 3rd place team in Baseball haha.

Nice to see the Yanks in last place

That's cool though, I admire that they are FINALLY allowing more young guys to grow, mainly with their starting pitching. Growing pains for awhile but every team has to go through it.

How about them Rays?!?!!? Not sure it will last but they do have a great team and very fun to watch!

PS Baseball is the greatest sport!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!! I'm a Canadian by the way... Hockey is so so... baseball is where it's at!!!!!!!!!!

I wish the Jays still had Reed Johnson... you guys got a good utility player there... guy is constatntly making the highlight reels!

SDon1969 · 05-20-2008, 01:37 AM

Young Jon Lester, starter for the BoSox, just threw a no hitter against KC!

I fell into the superstition in baseball and was afraid to start typing this until he got his last out in the 9th, hah.

jq71586 · 05-20-2008, 01:40 AM

Ha. I knew this thread was going to be revived when this happened.

BLU for Blue · 05-20-2008, 01:45 AM

First Bucholtz against the Orioles.

Then Lester vs the Royals

Wow really know when to pick when to have their A game.

Sox are deadly yet again. Not a fan but as a baseball fan, nice to see the no hitter.

Bigdog · 05-20-2008, 01:46 PM

Man Lester was bringing it last night, nice to see and it couldnt of happened to a better person imo.

Masterson is back up for the spot start again today, he is another young arm in the sox farms that has some nasty stuff. Great to see alot of young talent coming up from the minors for the sox as almost half the team now is farm talent, and glad we held off on that Santana deal!

It's good to see teams develop their players and not sign these overpaid free agents. Bluejays have 5 great starters now with 4 of them grown through their system... the other AJ Burnette was an overpaid FA and is the worst in the rotation IMO... still a good picther but the young guys and Roy Haliday are much better.

Lester is a great story. Good for him after all he has been through.
