| I was literally about to do this thread.... Fuck you Nico! My Fish are actually a decent team this year Nico, and really you got the M's over the A's....not sure about that bro... Anyways....literally less than ONE year ago The Miami Heat were still on pace to try to win three in a row, while the Fish were the laughing stock of the baseball world for the 10th time (at least) in their franchise history. It's crazy how the sports world is. The Heat are now a thing of the past....and the Fish are buyers once more signing big contracts and putting a product on the field that COULD potentially make some noise. And all you mother fuckers that doubt this method.....I'd like you to kiss our TWO shiny World Championship rings. Baseball was the first sport I really got into, and now that basketball has become dreadful, the NFL is something I probably never want to think about ever again, and hockey is....lol, hockey! Baseball it is....I'm going back to my roots! I believe the FISH will make the playoffs, I believe Stanton can and WILL produce MVP numbers and Fernandez can and will win 18+ games. GO FISH!!!!! 1997, 2003, 2015.....see if you do that math it comes out to 7+3+15...that's 25...my lucky number. We taking this shit!!!! |
| Oh and that's right....the FISH got ICHIRO!!!!!! Imma go all weeaboo on his ass when I get to the ballpark in April... Konnichiwa Ichiro-san, can you be my senpai?! :p |
| Go Red Sox! |

Plus when their fans come to Seattle, it's a pain in the ass listening to them brag and insult our team in our own stadium. Try living in Miami where we have literally thousands of New Yorkers who have come down here to retire or just to be pain in the asses.... I was in my freshmen year of High School during the 2003 World Series.....holy shit, I'll never forget it. The whole goddamn school was divided and unfortunately there were more Yankee fans....the majority of my friends were also Yankee fans. Thankfully JUSTICE prevailed and the good guys won. I bragged for the remaining school year....hell, I think I bragged until the end of HS, even though by the time the Marlins were nobodies once more. And talking about the FISH....guess who just got the 2017 All Star Game??? http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/12308231/miami-marlins-host-2017-mlb-all-star-game FINALLY!!! I've been waiting for years and years for Miami to get it's chance at holding an All Star game.....I'm DEFINITELY getting tickets! Seriously, I still can't believe how optimistic I am about the Fish....I really thought the franchise was dead for good after what happened at the end of 2012... And ironically it can be the FISH that restores order to the force.... LET'S GO FISH!!!!! |
| Go Brew Crew!!!! no seriously, go and sign somebody.... Last year's collapse was just sad, they really needed to add pieces... not just trading Gallardo away for nothing. |

I may not like the Yankees but fuck do I have a deep admiration and respect for them. Honestly my family comes from Brooklyn, so my grandfather and my grandfathers father were always Brooklyn Dodgers fans. Brooklyn's rivalry with NYY was one of the most intense in North America. When Brooklyn moves to LA in 1958, becoming a Yankees fan is not an option for Brooklyn fans. When the Mets are accepted in 1962, my grandfather supports the expansion team - thus my mother is born a Mets fan (born in 1965), and me born in 1991 always was going to follow suit. This also explains why I'm a Rangers, Knicks & Giants supporter |

TheRealNico said: We just got Rickie Weeks, I love this signing. Low risk, high reward. And a good utilityman/righty bat if we want to give Cano days off and for some DHing. Happy to hear. Weeks had been one of my favorite Brewers, but he has been on the decline the last few years. A change of scenery could be best for him. |

Plus when their fans come to Seattle, it's a pain in the ass listening to them brag and insult our team in our own stadium. And I also hate it when other people pick the Yankees just for the money, although the homegrown guys like Jeter (YEA JEETS), Rivera etc. I have mad respect for. Loved every bit of us returning the favor when we took Robinson Cano away from them, then their ungrateful swines of New York street bums complained about us being $$$ hogs and they booed Cano in his return after everything he did for them. The hypocrisy of their fans was rich in that time. But those guys like Jeter/Rivera deserve every bit of credit to being career Yankees. Hoping that their young guys like Tanaka and Betances carry on that trend. You should have a little bit of perspective on this with seahawks fans the past year or so... I do not think the Padres will get Moncada, the suitors are limited to teams that are able to pay $100M lump sum basically. Why the rays? If anything they've gotten worse.. |
Bostonblows said: Why the rays? If anything they've gotten worse.. Was wondering the same thing myself actually.. Andrew Friedman leaves, Joe Maddon leaves, David Price is traded, Will Myers is traded.... IF anything Tampa Bay realistically can find themselves in the gutter which is a shame cause they're my favourite American League team. |

deanzel said: WATCH OUT BECAUSE THE INDIANS ARE TAKING NO PRISONERS THIS YEAR!! Hope so, a buddy of mine signed with them. I don't see an int'l draft in the immediate future, people will care a lot less the next few years when teams like the Yankees and Red sox won't be able to hand out a contract in excess of 300k.. |
TheRealNico said: baboon said: Happy to hear. Weeks had been one of my favorite Brewers, but he has been on the decline the last few years. A change of scenery could be best for him. It's only for $2 Million which also makes me happy. As said before, low risk, high reward. Guy has 20+ HR potential if he can stay healthy assuming one of our guys gets hurt in the year. He'll be a 1B/2B/OF/DH type which means he'd be a super neat utility if it worked out. Lloyd Mac knows how to use his bats though, so I see a solid year out of him. If the Rays don't win it, I agree Toronto will take the East. But this year is really the NL's to shine. Not too many standout squads in the AL. If anything, they'd be Seattle, Anaheim, Cleveland, Detroit, Toronto, Boston, or Tampa Bay. Wonder if Houston could do something as well, one never knows. Those are the teams I see being the combination 5. I think Kansas City sadly did nothing to improve, neither did Baltimore, and Oakland is declining, even with the Zobrist move, they lost too many high WAR guys and it's going to bite them in the back. Chicago's offseason was overrated. The Yankees are destined to have a losing record with that offense of theirs and inconsistent pitching. Texas has literally no pitching aside from Darvish and their offense is injury-prone as it is. Minnesota might be the worst team in baseball right now. If anyone signs Moncada other than the Padres, I bet you it's the Dodgers, they've got the money to spend for him no doubt about it. Not sure if the Yankees can afford him, even though the Yankees clearly need him to replace Jeter, and they better make a Yankee-esque offer if they want to take him away from LA. I wouldn't be that surprised out of that group of AL clubs if only two of them have winning records this year. A report came out last year that said the Yankees could support a payroll of over $500M a year, he wouldn't replace Jeter in a positional sense, since he will likely move to 2B or 3B, but he could certainly replace Jeter as the next face of the franchise. In the end I really do think he will sign with either LAD or NYY and i'd expect the bonus to be in the 50M range (the upper end of where people are predicting he will be). The young cuban RHP Yadier Alvarez will be the next big domino after Moncada, he's also expected to sign during this Int'l signing period and he's a 19 Y.O. that tops out around 98MPH and shows two other plus pitches. |
| HOLY SHIT!!! BostonBlows is alive! Dude I haven't seen or heard from you in like two fucking years! |
TheRealNico said: If I were Cashman I'd take total advantage of the Cuban market rather than wait on spending for overpriced vets like Cueto and such. Getting younger with Cubans could be a wonderful way to rebuild the Yankees. They need the young talent, and it's booming in Cuba. The Dodgers are doing that, and if the Yankees want to take advantage of their presence there, they better give Moncada an offer he can't refuse and same with Alvarez. Agreed, and i honestly think this is the path he's been trying to take since after the 08'-09' offseason. It takes a while to pay dividends but it should soon in the form of judge, severino, lindgren and refsnyder maybe this season. Also, they dumped tons of cash into the 16 yr olds this year, so that should help in a few years. Yea Alex, i haven't had much to say i guess :P |
TheRealNico said: So A-Rod wrote a handwritten apology in horrible handwriting. Not gonna accept his apology, as a Mariners fan, he's done more than just juice. And not to mention he began juicing straight after leaving Seattle too. I'll say it. Juice, no juice..Arod is still the greatest baseball player of the modern era. |
TheRealNico said: Bostonblows said: I'll say it. Juice, no juice..Arod is still the greatest baseball player of the modern era. Not Mariano Rivera or Derek Jeter? Nah, I can't remember a more dominant player in their prime than Arod. At least on a talent perspective, Bonds was obviously ridiculous in his prime years and watching griffey was just so enjoyable, but Arod in his prime... |

| I can't deal with this Moncada news, guys. The whole thing actually challenged my fandom, the backlash even got the steinbrenners to say "Other higherups in the organization did not want to spend that much on a 19 year old". They'll probably go after Oliviera or Ibanez now, I wouldn't mind both honestly. I may need to pop in my laughing yoga exercise tape the next time Hal claims they have any sort of commitment to excellence after letting Moncada walk for that amount of money. |

Boston didn't even need Moncada and now I think they're going to trade Bogaerts and other prospects to get Hamels :S My hopes and dreams of seeing a New York/Boston bottom 2 down it goes Boegarts or Betts. Probably Betts, people have been talking about moncada playing CF. Agreed the Hamels deal is almost a forgone conclusion now. |
TheRealNico said: Bostonblows said: Boegarts or Betts. Probably Betts, people have been talking about moncada playing CF. Agreed the Hamels deal is almost a forgone conclusion now. Ben Cherington's a genius, I hate to say it, but he knows how to stock up his squads after down years. Gotta hope Hanley continues to be a headcase and Panda gets fat in Boston and the rotation bombs. I can see Betts going, but I think ultimately Philly will ask for both or this one catcher prospect that Boston has + a few of their pitching prospects. Yea, Amaro has asked for dumb packages for his players, so maybe that keeps it from getting done. Swihart is very highly regarded, it'd probably be one of betts/swihart/boegarts and some lower level prospects. It's easy to forget how mediocre their rotation is on paper, speaking of genius GMs, nobody talks about the job Mike Rizzo has done in Washington. |
| It has taken incredible amounts of Stevie Ray Vaughan and alcohol to get me past this Moncada thing, I think i'm finally there though. |

Monstrum said: Dodgers dominating the leaderboard, isn't it unexpected? Which leaderboard? Highest payroll in the game, one of the best farm systems in the game...so nah, I think you have to expect quite a bit out of them at this point. |
