2007 MLB Thread

The Phillies will win the World Series for two reasons. One, Ryan Howard who hit 58 home runs in his first full year playing. Two, its my home town team.
 
Whooo, go Giants!! Another year of senior citizens attempting to play baseball. Oh well, another year without playoffs and dodgers BLOWWWWWWWWWW!!!

Im with you on that, I hate to think that they probably will disapoint once again this year. But they do have a good shot, the line up looks pretty stacked. Hopefully Pat Burell will have a decent year, he seems to have one once every 3 years so maybe its this year. On paper they have one of the best starting rotations in the National League. they do need some bullpen help, but hopefully they can unload Jon Leiber before the season and get a good set up guy. Christ for us Philly folks, who would have ever thought looking back a couple years that the Phillies would be our best bet for a championship?
 
now the angels, whats their reason? i know it. its because they want to be los angeles. moreno wanted the dodgers and he decided to make the angels "los angeles", but no matter how hard they try they will always be a joke as long as they wear the la tag. :thumbsup:


It's all because of money. They figure they could get a bigger fan base and more revenues with that name plain and simple. It sounds like something some out of control monster with a soul of a corporate executive, a mind of a finance lawyer, and the character of a head of a marketing firm would come up with. You would think some people would have more shame, but we are essentially talking about an American business here.

thats a big part of it. but before moreno bought the angels i read an interview with him. he said that he was interested in the dodgers because of the high hispanic fan base. his words not mine. i think its both monetary and racial.

I'm not trying to be a dick or stir any shit up but the angels at least have a world series title under their belt. To me they haven't been very jokish the last 7 or 8 years.

correction. they have only been good since may of 2002. that season they started 6-14. thats only 5 years.

you dont find it a joke because you dont live in los angeles. it would be like a hershey, pennsylvania team suddenly calling themselves pittsburgh. or a boca raton team calling themselves miami. :2 cents:

ok fine 5 years. it might not bother me. the giants and jets actually play in new jersey right now and that doesn't bug me in the least. what's it really matter? you're an indians fan right?

:1orglaugh should have said in the first place then i would have completely understood. i have a problem with the jets and giants too but it doesn't have to with locale. it's because they suck.
 
How much time do you think the Tigers will spend working on pitchers fielding this spring? Sheffield should help in the middle of the batting order but losing Jamie Walker from the bullpen could hurt.
 
It's hard to be humble when you are an Angels fans busting on Dodgers fans.
 
intra squad games should be under way. next month, spring training games are starting. does anybody else but me like to watch spring training games? i like them. i get to see all the prospects and up and comers. i should have been a coach. :D
