Baseball season is back and I am so pumped. Chicago Cubs fan here. Not sure that the NL Central will be any better than last year, but at least within the division it appears there will be some competition between the Cubs, Cardinals and Brewers.

I don't follow the American League too closely but I guess I pull for the White Sox in the AL.

Any other baseball fans out there? What is your team?

Used to be a Cubs fan also. LOL. whats up you yankee. J/K I moved to Georgia 4 years ago from illinois. Im now a proud fan of the Braves.

I also dont follow the AL much. Cubs are off to a pretty decent start this year. I hope they do something!

Repping the Pirates here!

mets are my team, santana's off to a slow start, but soon enough he will be winning

Cubs and Mets tonight, dog.

Red Sox! Good pitching. Good batting. I think they're gonna do good this year.

Dodgers. Not so psyched for this year. Pitching's decent, but not enough bats. Andruw Jones was a stupid signing, he's not even hitting his weight.

I'll pull for the Angels in the AL, they've got a shot.

Well, me being from Boston.... RED SOX ALL THE WAY BABY, first place :)

I used to follow MLB a lot more few years ago, so I don't know much about now but, I was always for Atlanta Braves. (due to my step-father's influence)

Cleveland!

Los Tigres.
I dont know why that was spanish.
at least Detroit has (some) sports, cause the rest of the city is ****

Wooooo go BoSox!!

As little attention as a pay to pro baseball, I root for the Phillies whenever it's on.

Phillies ftw.

Red Sox! Good pitching. Good batting. I think they're gonna do good this year.

Red Sox FTW. Jacoby Ellsbury is my guy. i had his number in all stars. he needs to be starting more games then Coco, Coco is absolute **** now.

red sox !!!

new york yankees all the way bich, woohoo! haha yankees rock even though right now their sort of in a slump but its still the beginning...

NY Yankees all the way. Liked them ever since the age of 4. They are off to a slow start but they always start the first half of the season kind of ****ty, and then pick it up in the second half.

Froze my ass off at the Cubs/Brewers game last night. How often do you guys get to see your teams in person?

I go when the tickets are free. Nothing like seeing a game live at the ball park, I love going to Dodger Stadium.

Noj, I've got tickets to see the Dodgers and Cubs at Wrigley in late May.

Oakland A's FTW!!! Rolly fingers is my fav player to bad he retired

Too bad? Rollie's old, man! Were you even sentient when he was pitching?

Cubs destroyed the Brewers last night 19-5. They put up almost as many runs as the Chicago Bears average points scored last season (20.9). The NL Central is going to be tight this year. Geovany Soto had a huge game, too...two 3 run homers in one game! Can you say rookie of the year?

Los Angeles Angels at Anaheim......Angels fan since the 80's...California Angels, Anahein Angels,now LAA@A...it's been a long strange trip...too many different uniform changes.All time fav. players, Nolan Ryan,Tim Salmon, Reggie Jackson, Jim Abbott.

Check it out, 2008 Sports Illustrated fan ballpark survey: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/baseball/mlb/specials/fansurvey/2008/index.html?eref=T1

The Cubs will fall apart against my Cards like they do every year. I already have tickets for two games when they are in Philly.

As for the fan survey thing, I thought St Louis would be way higher. Lots of players have taken a lot less money to play in St Louis because of the city/ fans.

Indians!!! i love that red guy =]]

Where my Dodger fans at?




























Anyone?

Huston Astros or gtfo.

Jesus, the Cubs got SMOKED today. Lost 9-0 to the Reds...Reds had 7 homers in the game (Joey Votto had 3 of them).

:icon_mad:

Where my Dodger fans at?

Right here, MDeezy!

My Cubbies had a huge sweep of the D-Backs this weekend. Started the Padres series off right last night with a severe beat down. Three more games against the Padres and then a home series against the Pirates this week could be a needed shot in the arm for the Cubs after that mini-slump they were in.

Astros baby

Not really a fan of baseball. I can't catch or hit worth a ****.

Solid home stand for the Cubs, now hopefully we can take this show on the road. Big series against the Astros starts tonight. Houston is playing well and jumped into 2nd in the NL Central, should be a good series.

White sox all the way, every day.

I'll admit they're not doing that great though.

I'll admit they're not doing that great though.

The White Sox are back in first after the Reds swept the Tribe in interleague play this weekend. Now the Sox have a series against the Indians themselves, a real chance to to put some distance between them. Hopefully the Sox can benefit from a crappy division and sneak into the playoffs.

Noj, I've got tickets to see the Dodgers and Cubs at Wrigley in late May.

SWEEP!!! Huge sweep for the Cubs after a terrible series against the Pirates. Froze my ass off at the game on Tuesday night.

The Dodgers just don't have the bats. Congrats, Peat.

Yeah, the Dodgers offense looked feeble at best. Although they've been rocked by injuries, so part of it is just bad luck. I was glad to see the Cubs win some games where they weren't putting up tons of runs.

Cubs win!!! Sick walk-off homer for Aramis Ramirez to beat the White Sox in the first game of the Crosstown Classic. Both the Cubs and Sox are in first place, the city is so stoked right now...you'd think the Cardinals were in town or something.

When I was living in St Louis it was great to go up there for a Cards game. Too bad that wont happen this summer.

A shaky road trip for the Cubs ended on a high note with a series win over the Cardinals in St. Louis. I didn't see the middle game, but the radio made it sound like that non-call on the Molina check swing in the 9th was a pretty bad call...not sure if it is broadcaster bias or truly a blown call, but the Cubs would have had a sweep if it weren't for that. Either way, Kerry Wood blew it big time and deserved that loss.

Big news in the NL Central today with C.C. Sabathia going to the Brewers.

I was watching the game, it was close. But could have gone either way. But Im a Cards fan, so thats probably not really true. Im still holding out on a second half jump from the Cards, and truely think it will happen. The Cardinals are always a much better second half team.

well i don't watch MLB,

but i "cheer" for the blue jays.

i live in nj everyone love the f$cking yankees i hate them go red sox!!!!!!

baseball sucks

People still play baseball?
Merging doublepost
Edit: KIDDING!

The Tigers are by FAR my favorite team.

But I also like the cubs alot, I've got some good memories watching them with my grandpa when I was younger, and I still follow the cubs too. I even went to a game this year.

yankees always have been my team and always will

if they were healthy they would have a shot at making the playoffs, but with all their injuries and the AL wildcard being so hard to win, i just don't see them making the playoffs, it's a shame yankee stadium is going down after this year...

Minnesota Twins. I've been to so many Twins games haha

Dang, Detroit went 14 innings the other night.

Atlanta Braves.. theyre the closest team to where i live and my dad likes them

Royals

Royals

You live in MN and you're not a twins fan? :icon_frow

haha

redsox always and forever (since i was little)

Huge sweep of the Brewers last week and a series win over this Cardinals this week. Things are looking good for the Cubs right now...let's keep it up!

Angels. 31 games over .500




I'm gonna go ahead and predict the World Series teams.

Angels


VS


Phillies

Angels vs Cubs.

i don't follow baseball that much anymore but i still love derek jeter and the yankees, baseball is my thing besides skating.

Angels vs Cubs.


woot!

Go Marlins! :icon_woow:icon_woow

Tough split series for the Cubs against the Phillies. We just couldn't put the runs up on the board. Hopefully this isn't a preview of how the Cubs would fare in the playoffs...althought if we play like that the rest of the season, the Brewers stay hot and the tight race in the East results in a wild card in their division we may not make the playoffs.

yankees of course, but a-rod has totally been sucking it up lately. i forget what game but it was bases loaded, 1 out, there down by 1 run and its the bottom of the 9th and he freakin grounds into a double play, absolutely horrendous.

I'm not a baseball head, but the Red Sox are the home team. Understand that I sat through '75, '78, '86, '03, etc until the heavens opened up and we finally ended that wretched curse. 2007 not withstanding, it was an amazingly emotional time for anyone and everyone in this area. And I'm glad that my self, my son, my father and grandfather were all alive when it all went down.

Mets come first for me. Then the Red Sox. Mets ftw.

I can't stand watching baseball anymore. But when I did, my favorite team was the yankee's. Really only because that was the team I was on in little league. lol

At the upcoming Cubs and Brewers game at Wrigley on the 16th they will be giving out instant win cards for autographed Bob Burnquist skateboards...60 will be given out in total. I wonder if it will have a limited edition Cubs design or anything like that.

... How about that Zambrano no-hitter the other night?!?!?!? Followed up by a a nice one-hit outing by Lilly. Cubs are getting it back together.

...

Bob Burnquist did a decent job with the 7th inning stretch tonight.

Cubs magic number down to 2! Bring on the Cardinals!

SAN FRANSISCO GIANTS. too bad bonds cheated and now we suck.....

Chicago Cubs...2008 NL Central Champs!!!

Cubs... been the favorite for pretty much ever. Live pretty close to Chicago so everyone likes the cubs

Man...the Twins just did a number on the White Sox. Goodbye first place <bag:)

GO JAYS!


ahahahahaahah thats so jokes.

Man...the Twins just did a number on the White Sox. Goodbye first place <bag:)

ya too bad the sox will be back in first in a game or two

ya too bad the sox will be back in first in a game or two

I hope so...I'm worried b/c the Twins are hosting the Royals in the Dome for their remaining games...Sox have the Indians. I think the Twins have a better chance of sweeping the Royals in the dome than the Sox do at Comiskey (still refuse to call it 'The Cell'). There's always that make-up game with the Tigers, though, right?

Now that the Dodgers are in the playoffs, I'm really hoping for a Freeway Series.

Hoping for a Red Line series here in Chi-town.

Cubs @ Addison...Sox @ 35th

ya true, but kc is on a winning streak right now too so they may be more competitive right now. and the indians, like the sox, are on a losing streak so hopefully the indians are less competetive and the sox turn it up

Yankees baby all the way bichs.

The Mets totally blew it...as a Cubs fan I was not looking forward to having a hungry Brewers team in the playoffs.

Do or die time for the White Sox...need to get it done against the Tigers in the makeup game tomorrow. At least we will have home field advantage in the "play-in" game against the Twins.

orioles fo sho lol

Noj...looks like its the Cubs and Dodgers in the NLDS!

Lifetime New York Yankee fan here. New stadium, here we come!!!

big game tomorrow, white sox vs twins, one game playoff for the AL central. damn, why couldnt the sox have won just one more game this season

This is huge, can't wait for the game tonight...any fan of baseball should watch this...like a playoffs appetizer. There is no way the Twins steal this game in Chicago.

...

What a great time to be a baseball fan in Chicago! Both teams in!

Damn it!

Cubs and White Sox both lose their respective Game 1's. :icon_burn

As I posted earlier, the Yankees are my team. But seeing as they're out of the playoff race, I'm pulling for the Cubbies.

Chicago Cubs '08 World Champions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

METS FAN! Represent

Dodgers take the NLDS in 4

Phillies take the NLDS in 3

Angels take the ALDS in 5

Rays take ALDS in 4

Let's see if I'm right

Dude, you gotta get those pick in before the playoffs start :icon_doh:

But I do agree with you on all of those (unfortunately for my Cubs) except the Rays pick...I think the White Sox will get it done in 5.

ha yeah well, I'll make my championship series picks on time.

sucks for the Cubs and Angels. Best teams, record wise at least, and they can't seem to win. They're both done for.

I hate Boston.

****. Embarassing sweep (again) for the Cubs. Epic fail.

White Sox need to get it done now, for the sake of Chicago baseball.

Chicago Cubs '08 World Champions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

haha, that went well.

im a sox fan, and i know they are down 2 games and will more than likely lose the series, its not surprising because they had nothing to lose and i did not expect anything out of them.

cubs on the other hand were the best team in baseball. they worked their asses of all season to get swept in the first series of the playoffs. what a bunch of morons. they played like a bunch of little leaguers. it was honestly embarressing how bad they played and the large amount of stupid things they did. so glad im not a cubs fan.

Cubs and White Sox both out now...so much for a Red Line World Series.

Chicago baseball...<GVE:)

At least da Bears are in full swing and the Hawks and Bulls will be starting up soon.
