Soarindude Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 All these pitching injuries make me really question why I have developed the "pitching wins championships" in Fantasy Baseball. Because jeez, pitchers just cannot stay healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kramerica Industries Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 you know, I never really have published a W-L projection for this system (I mean, I did run numbers but I'm not sure I agree with them; don't ask me how that works), so I'll just give a straight run down.AL East:1. Boston2. Tampa Bay*3. New York4. Baltimore5. TorontoAL Central:1. Detroit2. Cleveland3. Kansas City4. Chicago5. MinnesotaAL West:1. Texas2. Oakland*3. Anaheim4. Seattle5.

Virtual Appliance Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 The MLB All-Star break = New Year's Day in college basketball.College basketball experts have had me rolling my eyes during the tournament with all their references to "meaningful" games from early November.

dbadefense1990 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 So the Padres win the U.S. MLB opener because Brian Wilson couldn't command either a change-up or slider to save his damn life.It's also kind of effed-up how the Dodgers already have three regular season games under their belt, yet it's still March and 28 teams haven't even opened-up their campaigns yet. They will have endured three unique Opening Days by the end of the week (Australian, U.S., their own home opener on Friday). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The media just loved him for his bearded craziness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 The Reds are a MASH unit right now and I don't know how they're going to score runs this season, but it's Opening Day in Cincinnati and that's always cause for celebration.Plus it's a great excuse to duck out of work early.

Tigers6884 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 With the Tigers getting rid Prince Fielder, who's average number of double plays hit into is about as big as his stomach, I think the Tigers have a shot at finally wining their first World Series since 1984. It won't be easy, as I predict that they'll face Andrew McCutchen and the Pirates in the Fall Classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSU151 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Thought it was interesting that when Bonds was introduced to the Pittsburgh crowd (prior to giving McCutch the MVP trophy), the PA only recognized Bonds as the 1990 and 1992 MVP winner. No mention of Bonds being baseball's all-time home run leader (unless I missed it). With that said, it looks like Bonds is trying to lose the hardass-ego maniac side of him and be more personable. Great idea for him to accept the invite, be applauded by the Pirates' crowd, and present the trophy. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

CS85 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Cubs/Pirates went to 10 innings in a pitchers duel/hitters suckfest before the Buccos win.

-kj Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 "Cubs in five"? As much as I want to make that joke, even I know it takes more than five games to be eliminated from the race.
