as long as only one is being posted in I don't see the problem.

As for mlb 2012, I predict the Texas Rangers and Florida Marlins in the world series.  And Texas loses it again on there way to becoming the buffalo bills of baseball.  Were about due for another random Marlins world series win I think.

'12 season means mlb the show '12.

Rangers with Darvish...can't wait!

too bad victor martinez had to get hurt.  the tigers woulda had a sick lineup with him, prince fielder and miguel cabrera.

Originally posted by mollicap16 Im exited for the phillies season this year a couple new pick ups includeing juan piere. lets make this year another march down broad street.

Juan Pierre?  How did they land that gem?  I heard that the Phillies considered going after Pujols, but they wanted to save their cash for a chance at landing Juan Pierre.

Josh Hamilton back to his old habits again...I guess when you lose 2 World Series in a row, kinda hard to stay off the bottle..

yea, that's sad to hear.  such a good success story over the last few years from turning his life around.

the giants have like...no one from the world series left around (except the pitching staff)

Giants win the West with Posey's return!

did anyone see the thing on espn about josh hamilitons relapse. I feel like by them publicising it its only going to make him worse and continue with his addiction and then the texans are going to be out one of the best hitters in baseball.

Originally posted by DCC aren't they adding an extra wild card this coming season?

Oh yea I forgot about that silly one game playoff thing. According to ESPN it might start this year or next.

Personally I think a one-game playoff is a bad idea, either go with baseball tradition and make it hard as hell to get to the playoffs or do 6 teams and have 2 first-round byes and the first series is 3 games.

Jeremy Guthrie to the Rockies?  Anyone? Anyone?  Bueller?

he definitely could've/should've gotten more money.  they also gave kemp a huge deal so maybe that's why they couldn't do another mega deal.

gonna be interesting to see what the Brewers can do this year with the whole Braun situation shaking out, that and Prince sold out for freaking Detroit, puke

Originally posted by ShredThePeak HELL YEAH 2012 ST. LOUIS CARDINALS BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are kicking even more ass this year. Got Beltran, Freese, Furcal, Holliday, Berkman, Wainwright, Carpenter, Molina!!! Get ready hoes.

w/o pujols? dunno about that. 

The cards are going to struggle to make playoffs this year without pujols. And even if they do make it they wont last long cause the phillies wont let them beat them in playoffs two years in a row. I cant wait for this baseball season to start up.

As a Mets fan.....this is gonna be a longggggggggggggggggg season.....sigh.....

Theo's luck kind of ran out with the Red Sox.  He may not be quite the genius that he was once made out to be.  We'll see though.  If he gets both the Red Sox and Cubs a World Series... he's a god.

Olney had a blurb today that Burnett would actually be a solid pickup for the Buccos if the NYY pick up a major portion of his salary. Playing for a smaller market team might calm him down and make him a productive innings eater.  You never know.

The Cubs are somehow the favorite from the NL according to Vegas.  I am a fan, but I just don't see how this could be.  I think people are a little too hyped about Theo. 

Miami at 17-2 isn't too bad a bet.

Did anyone hear about kevin Youkilis being engaged to Tom Brady's sister? The city of Boston likes to keep it in the family.

Miami marlins are going to win the world series this year

ur nuts if you think the marlins are going to win the world series. The phillies got it this year. But did anyone hear the pirates are making moves for burnett, i think its dumb for them to be picking him up anyway they need more taleted youth not a decent pitcher whos on a decline.
