**Official MLB discussion thread**
Well the 2003 baseball season is officially under way...
This is the place where you can vent your frustrations or boast about your favourite team's exploits. Here's hoping things get hot & heavy here over the course of the season. Play ball! Oh, a few predictions of mine... 1) The Puerto Rico Expos will win the pennant. 2) Bud Selig will once again make some foolish decisions. 3) The Cubs will go nowhere...and fast!  4) Mike Piazza will get beaned in the head at least 6 times. 5) Pete Rose will be caught gambling on the All-Star game.

I still don't know what's going on with Derek. I'm trying not to think the worst.
Hey, Bing: Can you explain that ad showing bird shit on a Yankees cap and telling Blue Jays fans to boo Matsui? WTF is that all about?!?

A 15-2 win over the Mets on opening day (most lopsided opening day win in over 50 years) sure looks to me like they are going nowhere fast!!  Cubs had the most impressive debut in all of baseball yesterday. People will learn to respect the Cubs this year, no more of being called "Perrenial Losers" because this year I believe it will turn into "Unbeatable Champions". Mark my words.

I'm just bitter because my 'Spos are only playing like 3 home games in Montreal this year and the rest of the time they'll be playing their "home" games in South America or some shit. Put us out of our misery already, move them, just don't let us suffer like this anymore. Go Cubs!

Geez, I saw Joe Torre at a press conference the other day all serious and shit, talking about how it's not funny and all. Lighten up, guy (Torre, I mean). Baseball is all about going to the ballpark and cheering or jeering the players, having a good time, throwing batteries at them  ...

.........ripping of your shirts and beating the shit outta the first base coach......
I hope nothing outrageous happens like that this year. I want a real, honest to god baseball season where a war, or a terrorist attack, or a dumbass father and his retarded son, or a greedy player who's only in it for the money (to many to name here), or a cocky bastard who thinks and acts like he's the greatest player in the history of baseball, who goes by the name of Bonds, ruin the fucking game. Baseball aint what it used to be, but I still love it.

"Go Devil Rays!"
There's three words I never thought I'd put together, but this scrappy young team is certainly giving the Red Sox a hard time.

If baseball players and fans start worrying about one another's feelings then the game is doomed. Why Matsui? Because he's an easy target, the other Yanks have already gotten their fair share of "boos". And why bird shit? What's so fuckin' funny about that? Have you ever seen a bird shit on somebody? It's priceless. Would you think it's funny if we ran an ad showing Jeter wiping his ass with a Blue Jays jersey? I don't think Jeter could do that, he busted his arm a couple of days ago. In all seriousness, it's not racism, it's a harmless ad campaign that the New York media blew way out of proportion. Go Expos!

Well, my Yanks have responded with their esteemed offensive prowess. In two games at the Skydome, it's been Yankees 18, Jays 5. Put that in your crock pot and simmer it...
And Enrique Wilson, Jeter's temporary replacement, went 2 for 3 in Game 2. I think we'll be okay for a bit.

Official word is "at least six weeks." But with Boston stumbling in Tampa Bay, I'm not as worried as I probably should be.

Fuck. My Cubbies lost 4-1. Clement put us down to much way to early. He threw 4 wild pitches in one inning, not much you can do to recover from that and unfortunately the Cubs didnt. Tommorow the series ends, with Prior on the mound. I look for the Cubs to get the win, Prior was just amazing during Spring Training.

Aw, yeah!
Erick Almonte, Jeter's regular back-up, goes 2-5 with a homerun and 3 RBI as the Yanks sweep! sweep! sweep! the Blue Jays at Skydome.
On to Tampa Bay...

I'm really getting fucking sick and tired of Sammy Sosa getting walked all the time. It's a bunch of bullshit. He's got 499 home runs, let him hit number 500 for fucks sake. He had one more chance today to do it, but do you think Art Howe (Mets manager) would let him get that chance? No, he fucking walks him. Needless to say Howe got a standing BOO by the crowd, but it wasnt worth it. It's only the 3rd Cubs game of the year and Sosa has already been walked 6 or 7 times. Why are pitchers so afraid to pitch anymore? He's a power-hitter, just fucking live with it! Stop being a bunch of pussies and pitch! Thats what you get paid for, to pitch! Fuck it.

Big fuckin' deal. That new ballpark in Cincinnati is so small, anyone can go deep. Haven't, like, 18 HRs been already recorded there this season?
I'm sorry, but home run records aren't that big a deal nowadays. The new ballparks are so hitter-friendly, and creatine-juiced sluggers are a dime a dozen. How's Sammy's defense? Does he know how to bunt, or steal? And am I the only one tired of his hubristic hop when he thinks he's hit one out? The Home Run Derby is the time to arrogantly admire your own offensive prowess, wouldn't you agree?

As for steals, if I'm not mistaken, he's had a couple of 30-30 seasons. As for being juiced, if he had've hit 66 homers, then went back to 30, i'd say yes, but since he's been consistently hitting them, I'd say no. And yes, I hate that damned hop.

According to Baseball Almanac, Sosa last made the 30/30 club in 1995. Here's a lean, pre-juiced Sosa from around that time, from Play Ball!!!:
http://www.mindspring.com/~dearnett/sammy.htm [Bonds is the same way; anyone else remember his scrawny frame when he was with the Pirates?] And I'm a regular viewer of Baseball Tonight, and can't remember the last time I've seen a Web Gem featuring Sosa.

I don't mean to put a damper on Sossa's 500th homer but I don't think it means anything if somebody's athletic abilities are enhanced by chemicals. What's the point? It's a shame so many big leaguers are using. Random testing will help save baseball!

Be interesting to see who the first man to hit 500 hrs is, that doesn't make the Hall of Fame. I think Dave Kingman has something like 460 and he's not in, but I think that was a huge feat in the days of the huge cavernous ballparks and before expansion. Ken Griffey Jr, out for six weeks, will this guy ever play another full season? Last edited by PapaJupe2k; 04-06-2003 at 05:04 PM..

You know what else is unfair? Players taking performance enhancing drugs to improve their production. The pitchers are just evening things out. Until MLB starts mandatory drug tests, let them walk Sammy!

Sammys not on steroids. Sammy loves the game more than any player I know. He's excited about every game he plays. You ever listen to him when he does interviews? He doesnt even care about home-runs, he just wants to play and hit. He has a true love of the game, and he stays in shape to make sure he is at the top of his game. Everyones just jealous because he can hit the long ball. Pitchers are just afriad to pitch anymore. I agree with the person who said they dont throw inside anymore. Hell when I played ball I threw inside all the time, I called it "get the hell off of the plate" pitching. Now if someone gets on base and someone that is a power hitter comes up the pitchers puss out and walk them. Its taking away the thrill of the game. Nobody wants to go to the ballpark to see their favorite player get walked everytime he gets up to bat because the pitcher is afraid of him. Wheres the fun in that?

And who's "everybody" that is jealous because Sosa can go deep? The fans? Other players? The media? There's plenty of HR hitters who obviously do not use performance enhancers. Quote:

I dont really give a fuck anymore. Im obviously the only goddamn person on this site that loves the Cubs and Sammy Sosa. I feel like the handicapped kid on the playground that gets laughed and pointed at by all the other kids because he doesnt fit in. Excuse me for standing up for my favorite athlete and for standing behind my beloved Cubbies. I hate the fucking Yankee's. I despise them more than any other team in baseball. But not once have I posted a reply here bashing the team or the players. Not once have I made mention to any of the players being "roided up" or anything derogatory about the team. Why? Because I respect other peoples opinions on sports and the sports teams they enjoy watching. I enjoy watching the Cubs and Sammy Sosa so get off my fucking back.

Well, what we said about him being "roided up" isn't written in stone, it's just our opinion, it's not a personal attack on you.
It's all in good fun, I'm just getting ready to begin ranting against that fool Steinbrenner and I'm sure FeverDog will reply with his own attack about shitty Montreal baseball fans. I'm praying there's an inter-league game between the Cubs and Yankees this year, that should really spice things up...
