Who's ready for some BASEBALL??

[QUOTE="B05T0N"]hahahahahahahahahah the Mets? No.... I'll take San Diego, LA Dodgers and Arizona. Maybe more teams, depending on who shows up. One pitcher doesnt give them close to the best pitching staff...CIoud_S

Actually, I can read. You said there's not a 'starting 5' in the NL that's better. I have no idea what a 'starting 5' is, but we call it a rotation. You're severely mistaken if you think the Mets have the best rotation in the NL...B05T0N

Line up the rotations and get back to me. ANd you'd think a baseball fan would know what a starting five is. Alas must be a boston thing again. :roll:CIoud_S

We call it 'rotation' here on the West Coast. I've never heard of a 'starting 5'.

Thanks O_H. Considering I'm a sports management major and going to work for a MLB team, I think I know what's going on...

I assume he misspoke, because I've never heard starting 5 before.B05T0N

Thanks chief, but I read plenty. I dont need a 15 year old to give me career advice.B05T0N

And Mets fans should know no one likes a homer...B05T0N

Says the Red Sox fan....

The Dodgers and Arizona have a great Ace but drop off significanty afterwords.CIoud_S

Arizona picked up Dan Haren.

That doesnt make me a homer, Luke...

[QUOTE="CIoud_S"]The Dodgers and Arizona have a great Ace but drop off significanty afterwords.Oleg_Huzwog

Arizona picked up Dan Haren.

Not to mention they have the best hitting pitcher in baseball.

[QUOTE="B05T0N"][QUOTE="web966"]Johan Santana will surely bring my Mets to the world series this year.B05T0N

Pedro will also be healthy. Granted, no one is ever guaranteed a WS spot, but they are the team to beat in the East.

Last time I checked, they had a huge collapse last year and didn't win the division. The team to beat is the team that won last year.

True, the Phillies made an amazing comeback combined with a collosal collapse by the Mets. With the addition of Santana, the Mets may be a better team than the Phillies, but they will have to prove it before they become the team to beat in National League.

My predictions

• AL playoff teams - Angels, Tigers, Red Sox, Yankees (Wild Card) (Yes, I'm leaving the Indians out)
• NL playoff teams - D'Backs, Mets, Cubs, Phillies (Wild Card)

I think the Yanks will lack the quality of veteran pitching necessary to go deep into the playoffs. It's a tough choice between the reamining 3 AL teams, but I'll go with the Red Sox to repeat a WS appearance. In the NL, I think the 1-2 combo of Webb and Haren will lead the emerging young team to a WS berth. In the end, the D'Backs young and inexperienced team will be beaten by the experienced and veteran filled team of the BoSox.

I think you need to learn what a homer is...

Uh... that's a little like saying a team has a Gold Glover at firstbase. Neither is something really worth boasting about.

B05T0N

Rotation=starting 5

Same thing, rotation is just the correct term.

I assumed you meant someone who favors one team over a another based on their geographical location.

Considering he hit .333 with a triple, four homeruns and 15 RBI in 34 games, all in his rookie season, I'd say it's something worth noting.

Anyways, I can't wait...maybe it's because I work @ the games, but the Brewers are looking mighty fine this year (they were last year, but those damn Cubs!!)

LukeAF24

Go Brewers! Do you work for SportsService? I worked there in my early HS days. Granted, it was County Stadium back then.

Yeah, I do - Food Vendor :D

No, he says it all the time. Analysts on TV and sportswriters say/write it all the time. It's commonly called both a "rotation" and a "starting 5.
