FiddySicks Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Dodgers add nearly 300 million in payroll, proceed to slip 4.5 back of the Giants. Still a LOT of baseball left to play, but nothing would tickle me more than to see the Dodgers faceplant the rest of this season.

Cujo Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 The Dodgers gain 4 or 5 all-star players .... The Giants lose the perennial NL MVP .... Yet San Fran has extended their lead in the West.Only in baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopard88 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 For the record, on April 1st I did not expect the Orioles to begin a three game series in New York on August 31st with a chance to leave town tied for first place.

The Six Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I was rooting for them until they went back to the cartoon bird.It's funny that the Dodgers were doing better back when they were Kemp, Ethier, and a bunch of no-name rascals. The owners made some hasty moves to prove a point, but I'd expect them to be much better next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do people still doubt Buck Showalter?Because not only has he never won a World Series, but TWICE did the team he got fired from, win the year AFTER he got fired.For me, I'd rather see the A's over the Orioles, but the Orioles have been a nice surprise.

In both cases he turned struggling teams into winners and in both cases was fired in what I'd call unfair situations. Also in both cases pieces were added to the teams the next year that Showalter didn't have to work with. Bob Brenly won a World Series with the D-backs and I'd take Buck Showalter as my manager every day of the week over Bob Brenly.Just look at what he did with the Orioles last year. They were on their way to being one of baseball's worst teams ever and they went 34-23 under him. The guy is a good manager. It's not a fluke.

Fortune tellers we are not.That's a thread for last year's predictions.Here is the 2012 thread.I would like to take solace in the fact I believe I was the only person here who had the Angels missing the playoffs altogether(a lot of that Pujols kool-aid was drank), but I had the White Sox as the worst team in the AL(almost 30 games worse than the Royals, who I thought would surprise), so I can't gloat too hard about anything.

You couldn't watch the Nationals games in the Washington metro area when they first moved from Montréal because Angelos made it so that the local TV network, MASN, couldn't show the games.
