I'm pissed that I moved away from my Tigers. I might have to suck it up and go to a few Jays games this year, preferably in Tigers apparel. Gonna be one of those guys. Yeah.

At least I have MLB.tv, can watch games at work. I mean, "not watch games at work and actually do work while I'm being paid." Yes.

David Wright has been the de facto captain of the Mets for several years now, but they finally made it official today. 4th team captain in history.
Mercifully, he'll also be the first Mets captain to not wear a C on his jersey. That shit always looked so goofy. |

Looking at making a few futures bets before the season is underway. Any bets people are liking?
Thinking of taking Boston under, Toronto under, Cleveland over, Texas over, and the homer Detroit over pick. Probably look at a few others. Yankees, Dodgers, and Brewers lines are taken down atm but I wanna hop all over those ones too crossrine |

What's the line on Texas? Although they got Houston in the division now, Anaheim, Seattle, and Oakland are all improved.

Over 86.5 wins -120
Under 86.5 wins +103 I think that over is a lock, -120 is pritty high though crossrine |

Over 74.5 +112
Under 74.5 -131 I don't know anything at all about the Padres, since I generally don't care about the NL whatsoever. I always assume they are just garbage, what makes you think they'll be half-decent this season? crossrine |

I could see the whole AL East finishing over .500 - gonna be a great race. Still haven't decided who I will pick to win it.

Monday will be decision time for a lot of veterans who are in big league camp as minor league invites. Thanks to a provision in the new CBA, most of them have outs in their contracts where the team must either tell them they've made the Opening Day roster, give them $100,000 to go to the minors, or release them. The idea is to give them a week before the start of the season to sign with another team that may want to put them in the bigs.
LaTroy Hawkins and Pedro Feliciano are in that camp for the Mets. Hawkins appears to be a lock for the team. I was really rooting for Perpetual Pedro, but at this point I can't see him making it. The guys fastball is about 84-85 MPH at this point. Think they may go with Robert Carson instead as he's already on the 40 man roster. Marlon Byrd and Scott Atchison don't have early decision provisions, but they both appear to be locks as well. |

Red Sox are currently around 83.5 wins for the over/under
According to Baseball Prospectus, the safe bet this year might be to pick under for almost every team. They only have 2 teams listed to pick the over. http://www.baseballprospectus.com/ar...rticleid=19862 |

Christ the Tigers are terrifying. They brought their entire starting lineup with them on the road to the Mets game and it's just crazy deep. Even their bench players have been killing it.

I'm really impressed with Jackie Bradley Jr. He could be a huge spark to the Sox.

Supposedly he's the backup plan regarding Ellsbury's future with them only trading Ellsbury if Bradley is good enough once he gets promoted at some point during the season. If not, they'll probably resign Ellsbury and develop Bradley for another 1-2 years. |

So terrible. If the Yankees have to pay any amount of the deal its a bad one for them. Heard that the money coming back to the Yankees is significant (obviously) but might not be as much as people would think. And they'd give up a low level guy apparently.

I think he has a great chance at breaking with the team now, with Gomes DHing for the first few weeks.

Just got home, going through the threads, get down to the bottom of the baseball thread.
....... ![]() WHY IN THE FLYING FUCK ARE THE YANKEES GOING AFTER VERNON WELLS?! Shit, might as well chalk this season up as a wash right now. Ok, I've vented enough. |

With less than a week to go before opening night, teams are signing and releasing players left and right. Here's a list of some names we know.
Padres release "Sweaty" Freddy Garcia. Yankees bring back Chien-Ming Wang. To a major or minor league gig is unknown. Phillies release Yuniesky Betancourt. Rockies sign Jon Garland to a 1-year, $500k deal. He can make up to $2 mil. in incentives. Indians release Daisuke Matsuzaka. But the Tribe plans on working out another deal somehow to keep him around. :confused: Kyle Lohse FINALLY has a home. Signed a 3-year, $33 mil. deal with the Brewers. D-Backs release Rod Barajas Indians release Matt Capps Chris Young opts out of his deal with the Nats and will find a starting gig elsewhere. |

Shaun Marcum scratched from his second straight ST start, likely to start on DL.
Lol that didn't take long. The guy has so much talent but he's physically incapable of not hurting himself. Some of these pitchers are put together with Popsicle sticks and glue, seemingly. |
