You realize that since you posted those predictions after the season started, even if you are right on every one, it doesn’t count.:lol:

1. The Yankees could be over. The Mets will definitely be under. They have nothing except a few pitchers who will probably be injured. The Cubs pitching staff is far superior. You shall see.

2. I once managed a women’s softball team in a rec league. So your statement above obviously can not be true.

3. I don’t see how the Cardinals are geared for a very good year. Their pitching is suspect with the injuries to Reyes and Wainwright. Again. They have a lot of low average hitters. The Cubs will win that division going away with the Brewers second. The Cardinals will probably be third but could just as easily be fourth. They are probably an under. The Cubs are absolutely an over.

4. You are probably correct about that Indians number.

Kapler looks in over his head. Removing a stud like Nola after only 68 pitches because the lineup was turning over the 3rd time? Maybe with a 4th or 5th starter but one-size fits all thinking is very short sighted. Then bringing a reliever in who hadn't even warmed up?

I'm curious to see the look on Arrieta's face when Kapler wants to remove him after 84 pitches because the lineup will be turning over for the 3rd time.

Watching the Marlins on opening day, new co-owner and CEO Derek Jeter was being interviewed by the broadcast team during the game.They asked Jeter that since he was quoted as saying he wanted the stadium's retractable roof open more than a few times a year,what standards would he use to determine whether to open it.Derek replied "Well, I'll ask maitainence to push the button that opens the roof, ha ha ha", then quickly changed the subject, as if he had been had asked about the Manhattan Project. I wish Jeter well, he seems like a genuinely humble guy and he appears sincere in putting a winning team on the field but if the Stanton trade is any indication of his ability to deal, it might take a while.Always willing to be proved wrong.

As for the last sentence in my original post, I got a ticket for April 29th that cost 15 dollars including fees, about the 10th row from the first row of box seats and if I walked in a straight line onto the field to the foul line,I'd be about 20-25 feet behind where the infield dirt meets the outfield grass.Same ticket runs for 33 dollars on the Marlins website and that's before all the fees.

But they're playing the Rockies, so maybe it still wIll be minor league baseball. :D

Bucco's 4-0 Pennant Fever:ThmbUp::headbanger:

shame --not a sell-out:pout:

Too bad they can't play the hapless Tigers 158 more times.:)

The weather seemed quite chilly and raw. But it is a shame MLB has priced the game beyond many people's budget. The days of the spur of the moment decision to go to a game seems long gone now.

Like taking candy from a baby...:cool:

My ex SIL, just returned from a trip to see the Orioles play the Red Sox in Boston. He said parking was $50, Five zero.

i am 2 miles away from the park and i only charge $20 and that is for the whole night!

Well i was half right. The division is terrible. I read the other day the Tigers have the 7th best record in the A.L. and they are under .500

Thask was spot on about the Sox ( hope you crushed the under). The Tigers could still lose more than the Sox if they sell off everyone at the deadline. Unlikely though. With all these terrible teams looking to sell it will be a buyers market. The AL Central is just atrocious. The Tribe should be ashamed of themselves.
