Alright I'll leave you with that. Let you think about what u just said..
Youre right you have enlightened me that Detriot is clearly the superior team.... lol
Your bullpen is garbage, you corner outfielders are slow, and yall got a bunch of over-rated big names that under-produce.... I agree it is sad that you still finished in last with that line up but dont be suprised when you in last again this year...

He wont let that happen this year
Plus Todd Jones wack ass is finally gone. Have you ever heard 44,000 people boo one person cause of how horrible he has been in for 3 years, and how he can blow your 7-3 lead like nothing? Its a sad sight.
We need a shortstop too. Talks of us getting Adam Everett...ugh...
I can dig it.... MC is a beast Ill give you that...
and yea the tigers signed everett to a 1 year deal... dude is aight defensively but no offense... and he gettin old...
Tigers on paper look like a contender, yes but that doesnt always translate on the field...
I wouldnt mind seein the Tigers make some noise as long as royals win the division lol..
I would love to see the white sox be terrible, that is who i truely cant stand... we can prob agree on that lol...
yea i can co-sign that one. Fuck the Chi-sox
Hahaha yea thats fine. You guys get the division and we get the wildcard. Anything to keep the Yanks out of the playoffs
real talk
the Indians are the favorites to win the division next year. We got the Cy Young, Carmona, Reyes, Westbrook coming back.
Our bullpen might be the deepest in the league. Betancourt, Perez, Lewis, Kerry Wood, Joe Smith and Adam Miller.
The only thing is we need another bat cuz Hafner has been absolute garbage. But i think they will play Shoppach at catcher and victor at first more.
I'd like to see them get Manny, but i kno thats not going to happen.
Looks like the yankees just signed Teixeira....
I mean more power to the yankees but they are single handedly making baseball less and less appealing... With their roster they should EASILY win the next 3 out of 5 championships... Who the fuck wants to see that ?(besides yankees fans)
Yankees should ghead and sign Manny, Dunn, and Lowe and make it a cool half a billion payroll.... Shit is really shamless....I hope Boras knows that buying championships doesnt always work... I would seriously be embarassed to be a yankees fan right now...
i fucking hate the Yankees...
Plex, i dont think they'll be winning all kinds of championships tho---keep in mind how fuckin SICK Tampa Bay is and their best players are all only goin to improve (Longoria is like 22 and they got a SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIT load of prospects who haven't even sniffed the pros yet)..
plus the Red Sox are always gonna be good...
Yankees will certainly be sick but they're D is horrible, especially up the middle, and Burnett is guaranteed to miss time with injuries...he's a soft bitch...
should be an awesome next couple years in that division....
and i think the Indians are still the team to beat in the Central...this big boy LaPorta that they got for Sabathia can hit like a motherfucka..
(shit, i gotta talk more baseball in here----baseball and Wu are pretty much my favorite things)
yea man baseball is my shit... Ive been a huge fan my whole life and Im afraid that might change due to the major disparity in the sport right now...
you right tho silencer, the yanks still got to compete with the red sox (fuck them as well) and the rays who basically got everyone returning next year.... As much as I would love to see the yanks miss the playoffs again it might actually take them dominating for the next few years for shit to change... Maybe then people will get so sick of big market teams being in the playoffs every year that a cap or revenue sharing will be the only hope for the mlb...
I could rant all day about the yankees but its christmas and imma stay positive.. I think the royals have a real shot at the AL central, we had one of the best records in september (hopefully that carries over) and the additions we made should def make an impact... Really its in the hands of cats like Gordon and Butler who are due to emerge...
If they can put up numbers like they capable of we gone be in great shape...
Cant wait til March....
do u read any baseball books? because my two favorite baseball writers, and really two guys who totally revolutionized the way ppl see the game (and GREAT writers) are both from the Kansas City area..Quote:

Sorry yall...we had to do it...look at it like this.
The MLB is the block.
Players is dope.
Yankees hustle is #1.
Title should be ours this year. Giants and Yankees winning their respective titles and you know I die a happy kid.
that doesnt make sense because the small market teams is the ones that gotta hustle to compete. The yankees can simply buy their superior talent.Quote:

yea Ive read stuff from both of these cats... I think I read parts of the Bill James handbook and Neyer has had some good columns/blogs every now and then...Quote:

Thank God we dont play in the AL East tho....
