Jason Pridie is this year's "Guy whose name I've been pronouncing wrong this whole time".
Assumed it was Priddy...but according to the commentators it's Pride-y. |

Great deal for the D Backs. Upton is going to be a superstar, no doubt and this deal is going to look extremely good down the line. Same way the Rays deal to Longoria is going to look.

Yeah, Dodgers made no improvement this offseason. They still have a few question marks in their rotation. Wouldn't be surprised to see them finish third this year. Although Kemp should have a huge year.

Don't think the Giants have completely solved their offensive issue yet, but they could still easily win that division with that pitching staff.

No Jokes. Zito was decent last year. Not worth the amount of $$ they paid for him, but he was 'alright' last year and a half.

Tim Wakefield is set to top 3,000 IP, 2,000 K, and 200 wins this season if he makes the Red Sox rotation at age 43.
How do we not have more knuckleballers in the game? |

Until this year, Red Sox had another knuckleball pitcher in the minor leagues in case they wanted a specialty pitcher like Wakefield but I guess he got signed by St. Louis in free agency. |

Os won today 12-2 over the Rays. Josh Bell hit a HR in his first ST AB and had another one. I wish they had never signed Tejada to play 3B. Rhyne Hughes also hit 2 HRs, he was the guy the Os got from the Rays for Greg Zaun last year and he plays 1B...hmm.

LOL wow Goose Gossage is an asshole. He did an interview with a NY Post and declared that Rivera is not the best closer of all time, he was. His reason? He's had 53 7-out saves in his career, while Rivera and Trevor Hoffman have had two. What a retard. Goose was obviously a great closer but I don't think anybody could ever make a logical argument for Rivera not being the best.
He also called K-Rod a clown for celebrating his saves, which again, is bullshit. I'll never understand why every pitcher in baseball that celebrates after a win, save, strikeout, etc. gets shat on yet hitters can grandstand all they want and dogpile on each other after walkoffs without criticism. |

Rivera is easily the best closer during the Steroid Era since that era was all about bringing in more power for batting. For Rivera to have saved all those games and keep his ERA low easily makes him one of the best of all time. |

I couldn't care less about inning totals. Different game back then. Fact is Rivera has saved more big games than any other closer, and that's what the closer is supposed to do. Goose is just bitter that Mo will get in first ballot with at LEAST 90% of the vote (because there will probably be some old people voting who think "Well, Goose threw more innings and didn't get in first try, sorry Mo!"

I dunno, I didn't really notice K-Rod doing anything too offensive last year. He just does his point to the sky thing and if it happened to be a particularly big save he was a bit more animated, but really that's to be expected. People get way too uptight with pitcher celebrations.
Might also have to do with the fact that it was a horrible season and K-Rod was balls the second half because he was used so irregularly. Not sure. |
