Your fault for not making the thread!

I'll change it over the course of the season. Maybe I should change it to 2-9, but 0-7 has a better ring to it.

hahahaha Rob Deer. The early 90's Tigers must've had more strikeouts than any team ever.

Time to get Sparky Anderson back.

As a Blue Jays fan, I always made sure to watch every game they played against the Tigers in the late 80's and early 90's. I loved Tiger Stadium, Fielder, and all the K's Toronto pitchers would pile up.

Whom will they face in the first round? I don't like their chances against either the Spurs or the Jazz! Steve Nash is looking like an old man ou there.

True true true. I think they could pull off an upset but we'll see. If they go out in the first round the Shaq trade will look even worse. This is their year. Shaq was put in a good position of not having to play a full season with them, but next year expect him to be hurt and hobbled up again

You should get on board with the Mavericks. Nobody expects them to do anything this year, so you'll be like the guy that picked the Giants to win the Superbowl if they win it all. The Jason Kidd experiment, man, it's finally coming together.

I went to the Nationals-Braves game in D.C. last night. It was a pretty uneventful game, but we had a nice time, and the stadium is really nice. Safeco Field is much better, but Nationals Stadium is a good place to catch a game.

With that said, go M's! Stick it to the Angels again tonight!

edit: Also, I was on the Metro this morning and overheard some stupid teenager whining about how the Seahawks pump in canned noise to Qwest Field, which is the only reason why we beat the Redskins. I really wanted to respond, but I thought better of it.

its been what a week and a half? Betcha KJ is in the .900s and Esco is in the .700s by the end of the year Lili is the future at SS but im getting the feeling Wren will deal him either to the White Sox for Javy Vazquez or to the Blue Jays for AJ Burnett at the Trade deadline

I will take that bet, sir. Honestly I expect both of them to end up in the .850 neighborhood. I definitely expect Kelly to improve, but I think that Escobar is far more capable than you give him credit for. And if I were Wren I would pull the trigger on the Vasquez trade.

Just came back from the A's/Mariners game tonight with CrystalGemini. We waited an hour in line for $1 hot dogs (we ordered five per person!), only to find them barely cooked at mediocre room temperature! Also, Oakland lost. What bums. The only good thing was that they gave out free fleece throws and the Colliseum attracts a crazy unbalanced ratio of attractive, young women to a mish-mash of men in their late 20s to 50s. I can only guess that the guys are there trying to live vicariously through their favorite team members and the women go there to see the hot baseball players.
