Baseball season begins (MLB), any baseball fans? Out of all sports, baseball is definitely my favorite. I grew up as a California Angels fan (now LA Angels), and am still a huge fan!!

Screw opening night, it's the NCAA men's championship hoop finals tonight !!! As my favorite MLB teams are pretty much projected to be divisional cellar dwellers by All Star weekend I'm thinking I maybe sitting this season out ... hanging on until the almighty football season starts. | |

I'm not a true sports fan since I never feel the MADDDDNESS in March. I think it's the result of not attending any major college. I root for UNLV, but they were blew it this year and didn't even make a seed. Hope it's a good game nonetheless for all you college hoops fans!!

I'm a true blue Dodger fan, and am pretty excited about the season. It was kind of hard watching Lowe pitch that masterful game against Philly on Sunday. I'm just hoping Manny continues his torrid pace he was on once he put the Dodger blue on last year. I would love nothing more than an all LA world series. That Angels outfield looks very impressive with the addition of Abreu, three 5 tool players out there and I think Morales will be a fine replacement for Tex. You all just need to get those arms healthy, Lackey, Santana and Escobar. I watched Lackey pitch a game last year in person, when healthy, he is one of the most dominating pitchers I've seen. My first time I jacked off, I thought I'd invented it. I looked down at my sloppy handful of junk and thought, This is going to make me rich. - Chuck Palahniuk | |

Sadly Channel 5 in the UK has dropped the Wednesday and Sunday night ganes from ESPN, which is a big shock. It's my next favourite sport to cricket. I've been following the sport and watching it for over 20 years. As a fantasy fan I also like to keep abreast of some new young talent or underrated talent. So here are some of my favourites to do well for the year. (This is going to look sort of sad and foolish in 3 or 4 months) Yovani Gallardo, Josh Johnson, Kevin Slowey, Rich Harden, and Chris Volstad are all in my team. I also have my eye on Francisco Liriano, Adam Wainwright, Jered Weaver, and David Price when he finally gets a shot. Maybe Ricky Nolasco could have a good year. In the outfield I think Nelson Cruz and Jay Bruce are underrated and I have them in my team along with Quentin and Braun. Alexei Ramirez is good value at 2B. I have always loved Hanley Ramirez and Jose Reyes at SS and David Wright at 3B. But this year I just have Ramirez. Was toying with Zimmerman at 3rd. I am going for Mike Aviles and Jed Lowrie as low value players with good potential. I had Kerry Wood as closer last year but have Jonathan Broxton this year. I may get Wood back in the team. I almost went for John Baker as catcher but finally opted for Nick Hundley. At 1B I fancy Joey Votto or Nick Blalock (although he may be DH), to have a break out year. I like to go for reasonably young players with potential and mix them in with some reliable experienced solid class. Since I am one of the most loud mouthed opinionated members here, it's a solid gold bet that I will be foisting my opinions on everyone a number of times before the season is over. Let's just hope the Yankees have another shit season. The Yankees lose, the Yankees lose, the eee eeee eeeeee Yankees lose!!! Justin Upton, Jesse Litsch, Denard Span, and Jason Bay, are also top of my list. Upton is on the bench. From absloutely nowhere will come this year's Cliff Lee, but I honestly haven't a clue who it will be. I had him and Lincecum in my team from very early last year and they did me proud. (It could even be Jered Weaver, who has real class if he can get back some control, confidence, and keep injury at bay) Edited on Apr 06, 2009, 05:55pm | |

I admit I went away from baseball for a long time in the later 90's and early 2000's but I think maybe having my team (detroit tigers) stinking so much did this. I admit, when they had that good season I jumped on the bangwagon and watched the next season religiously. I dunno if that will happen again though :) Sexted From My iPad | |

I am excited by the beginning of the season. I have been a Mets fan since they started in 1962. In the past few years they have had good teams, but not satisfying ones. Maybe this is finally their year. I have never been a Cubs fan, but I understand how they feel about their team. If the Mets don't win, it would be great to see the Cubs win. It has been too long for them without a Series winning team. | |

I agree, it would be great to see the Cubs win. I quite liked the Mets team, but there was some bloodletting last year. I hated the way they treated the coaches both in New York and Milwaukee. I am wondering if this is going to have a knock on effect this year. Both Wright and Reyes have to be at their best and the rest have to fire on all cylinders too - not sure Delgado can keep it up, but maybe Church could have a great year. Pitching looks too reliant on Santana to me. Maybe there's too much negative recent history there at the moment. | |

What do Met's fans think of Fransisco Rodriguez? I personally am glad the Angel's didn't renew his contract. He wanted $14m in arbitration prior to last season (he lost) and has the most tasteless celebrations if he does his job. I think he's one of the top 10 closers at best, and most overrated IMO. Tons of fans like me are glad to see him go!! lol With that said, he's still a good pitcher and will help win games. I'm just curious to see if Met fans will embrace his antics.

I think it is too early to know Mets fans reactions to Rodriguez. In the past showboating has been a turnoff and Mets fans don't really like it. Overreacting is not professional in my opinion and only makes other teams try harder to beat you. So far though, Mets fans are very happy to see a much better bullpen. As a side issue, GM Omar Minaya has been quite properly criticised as loading up on Hispanic players. It seems that he is prejudiced and cares more about ethnicity than the team. Many non hispanic Mets have complained that this creates an atmosphere that is not conducive to playing together as a unified team. It seems that he may have continued with the perception of favoring Hispanics over how well the team performs. Even that gentleman David Wright has told the press that there are two Mets teams, not one. Me, personally, I don't care as long as his major concern is about putting together a team. But is it?

On another note, those who don't live in the NY Metro area may not know, but the Yankees get all the attention. Mets fans generally dislike the Yankees and resent Yankees fans' attitudes. I used to sell baseball cards and I can tell you the Yankees outsell the Mets something like 10 to 1. I have spoken to people outside the area who are surprised that there are fans in NY who would never want the Yankees to win. | |

I'm annoyed and don't know who to blame. I'm guessing I should blame MLB because I assume they negotiate with the TV networks as far as broadcasting rights goes. The pattern I see is the networks broadcast only a few games a week with the exception of opening day and the playoffs when one might see a doubleheader or tripleheader in one day. I love the game but the MLB's attitude of limiting TV exposure is self-defeating. During the world baseball classic they say they want to grow the game then they turn around and limit exposure. WTF??? If they really want to increase the fan base they shouldn't be upset with a game-a-day or two and I'm not referring to making fans pay for a premium network!! | |

Horndog I completely agree. The only way to grow the game is with more free games being available. I also think the powers of MLB make the season way too long for the same reason. A season of 100 games with the world series ending in September would be much better, but that will never be. | |

I've never really understood why MLB feels the need to continue with a 162 game schedule. Back when baseball was king it maybe made sense. Today, it doesn't make much sense other than a revenue generating source (more games = more seats filled = more opporunity for tv revenue) and a source for baseball junkies for having the longest season. The NBA season with 82 games is also too long. However, as Mbaya notes, this is just crazy talk as nothing will change. I'm curious, how do people feel about the designated hitter? Is it good for the game or just a tradition defying means of trying to boost offense? | |

I may not count cos I'm a brit, but I like the idea of both. I think 2 distinct leagues is more entertaining. There are pros and cons for either side. The purists always claim there should be no DH. However I do get a bit tired with the righty/lefty matchup crap round about the 6th inning with the NL. I have always thought that 162 matches was far too long, but you put your finger on it - money. I also think to play that long and then only have best of 5 in the first round of the playoffs is ridiculous. It would be far better to have 120 games in the full season, then best of 7 for the first round of the playoffs, then best of 9 from there. But then all those sad bastards who know and love all the stats over the years for 162 games would be grief stricken. Maybe now after the steroid scandal would be a great time to start afresh, as a lot of those figures are unrealistic anyway. | |

That's right, you don't count. (You set yourself up for that one, ha-ha.) I also don't count, cause I don't care about baseball (even tho I live in Los Angeles, CA). | |

When in the US I was really shocked at the number of people who didn't care about baseball. Anyone who wishes me to teach them about the beauty of cricket, just ask. | |

Cricket is where they swing their bats at the other people and often miss? I've seen cricket played in the movies, but never in real life. Soccer seems to be a lot more popular. Maybe you could explain the attraction of that game for me. I like viewing porn much better, pix or even vids. | |

No, that's the drunken fights in the bar afterwards. The thing that Americans hate most of all, apart from them hating the game, is that we play for 5 days and it can all end in a draw. Unless england is playing, and then it ususally ends up in a loss after 3 days. One thing that is often asked is how come a batsman can deflect a ball behind him and it be considered a good shot. The reason is the ball is coming straight off the ground at 80-90 mph, with a field of catchers behind him and if he is caught he is out. You are expected to bat all day, and not get out once. If he gets hit by the bowler, it's just tough luck, he doesn't get anything for it. The bowler is patted on the back by his team mates who congratulate him for hitting the batsman in the rib cage. They tell him next time to aim for the testicles. It's a real gentleman's game. Edited on Apr 09, 2009, 03:33pm | |

Since I am now posting even more than the shills, mainly because I cannot keep my big mouth shut, let's examine my predictions and hopes for last year. Under reasonably abysmal failures and non starters must go Jesse Litsch, Francisco Liriano, Nick Blalock, Jed Lowrie, Alexei Ramirez, Mike Aviles, Chris Volstad, Nick Hundley, and John Baker. Anyone wanting to be a visionary, the queue is on the left. Disappoinitng were Jason Bay, Quentin, and Jay Bruce, I pat myself on the back for Jered Weaver, Joey Votto, Josh Johnson, Rich Harden, Yovani Gallardo, Jonathan Broxton, Nelson Cruz, and Adam Wainwright. The rest were so so. About 50 per cent visionary 50 per cent idiot then. I risk further humiliation by naming my ones to watch this year. I go for the obvious Hanley Ramirez, mainly because he is my favourite player. Joey Votto I hope will keep up the good work. I want to give Jay Bruce another chance. Nelson Cruz to keep up the good work along with some of my favourite underrated players of last year in the outfield. They are Nolan Reimold, Andrew McCutchen, and Adam Jones. Gordon Beckham to hopefully continue the good work. Billy Butler at first is a strong chance along with Votto. Geovany Soto to get going and maybe Miguel Montero is another catcher to look out for. Howie Kendrick is good value at 2nd. For short stop apart form Ramirez I would go for Elvis Andrus, and Mike Aviles as good cheap options. After my runaway success with Broxton last year I have my eye on Andrew Bailey and Billy Wagner as outside prospects. Wagner is old, so it's an outside chance, and to call him a prospect is stretching it a little. I am just considering that he is not a name on a lot of lists. Other underrated names - Jason Kubel, Jason Heyward, and Kyle Blanks. Alexei Ramirez will hopefully catch fire. Underrated pitchers to look for (yes a lot have been named as potentials then dropped quickly) - Max Scherzer, Tommy Hanson, Ricky Romero, David Price (to continue to improve), Stephen Strasburg (obviously, but can he deliver?), Bud Norris, Johnny Cueto (to make a comeback of sorts), Dontrelle Willis (to make a comeback of sorts), Justin Duchscherer, Tommy Hunter, Gavin Floyd, John Danks, Chris R. Young, Kevin Slowey (again). Not going for the obvious ones like Wainwright, Weaver, Lincecum, Carpenter, the usual bunch. Everyone knows about them. Finally my big hope for baseball this year, the discovery of a nuclear bomb that destroys everything called Steinbrenner, but leaves buildings and human beings intact.

Hope springs eternal! With that being said, my Texas Rangers have never been to the World Series but they made it there as the Washington Senators. That was so long ago I wasn't even born yet. | |
