MLB 2025 Season

Next week could be interesting with the Nats and O's playing. First time they have played each other with both teams having a winning record :corn:

Wilson Ramos torn ACL. I wouldn't be too upset but i have him in a few of my fantasy leagues Seriosuly though the Nats have been hit hard with the injury bug.

Plus hitting yourself with your own bat.

Josh Hamilton. Holy Crap.

Unreal.

The 110-game suspension for Rockies cather Eliezer Alfonso was overturned for the same reason Braun's suspension was overturned. I don't know why it took so long to get a ruling on his case, though. He missed the last 15 games of 2011 and the first 33 games of 2012, so he already served about half of his supension before there was a ruling on his appeal.

edit: Apparently, the suspension wasn't overturned by arbitration, MLB just overturned it after reviewing the case.

right now, unless you're a fan of the d**gers, rangers or cardinals, you're rooting for flawed or shitty teams. seems like other than those 3, there's a whole lot of mediocrity out there :?

Braves score a lot of runs, have solid starters, and their bullpen is mostly doing good but can become stellar. They are a contendar.

I thought they might be, but haven't seen enough of them to be any judge. I remember back in the days of TBS, you couldn't help but see them

NL East race should be interesting.

Braves alone in 1st!

Their pitching from last year and their hitting from this year would create a monster team. Their pitching isnt bad, but I expect it to pick it up soon.

They are like wearing a giant douche sign on your face. I can't stand white sunglasses

I don't know if anyone else saw this, but John Axford's wife went into labor during the Brewer's 13-inning win the other night. He blew the save in the game, which ended his streak of 49 consecutive saves. Since he couldn't stick around to talk to reporters, he was kind enough to leave a note:

I tried to insert the image of the note but it was too big and I couldn't figure out how to make it smaller.

Cliche...cliche..another cliche

I miss the times when athletes would just say what they wanted and not have practiced statements. Well, I guess there is Twitter .

josh is a stud, no doubt. cj wilson thinks josh can break bonds' record.....perhaps, but...

josh has walked 13 times in 31 games; 5 times intentionally

when barry hit 73, he was walked 177 times

in '02, he hit 46 HR, batted .370 and walked 198 times; 68 intentionally

it reached ridiculous proportions in '04....232 walks, 120 intentional, 45 HR, .362 BA

in poo-holes' entire career, his high for intentional walks was 44. in barry's FINAL year, he got 43 :roll:

my point is, no one has ever been treated like barry...he rarely saw a pitch and he still put up ridiculous numbers. yes, he was on the juice but he was an incredible talent and the HOF is a joke without him.

without the "bonds treatment," josh just might do it. the rangers' lineup makes it hard to put anyone on base without paying.

SI Power Ranking get more ridiculous by the week hahaha. I know they mean nothing, but I can't help but post this garbage:

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/b ... mlb_t11_a0

Cards just got swept by the Braves, yet they are #1. Red Sox and Phillies in the top 8. Mets and Yanks both with 19 wins- Yanks in at #4 and the Mets are #17.
