MLB 2015

[¿PapaPancho?]

Also, it's April.  Season's just starting so there's still plenty of optimism left.

Now if it's August and they're 20 games out and I'm saying it then yeah I'd understand why you'd go wow lol

Your expectation is just so far from realistic though. We are not even close to playoff contention.

Some people would've said the same about the franchise winning a World Series within its first 5 seasons of existence and they proved people wrong. 

I mean, I get that it's not realistic but my hope for the team's success wasn't really meant to be realistic.  I would like for them to make the playoffs sure, but they'll probably finish no higher than 4th in the division.  I know that.  I'm just being hopeful at least in the early part of the season that maybe that unrealistic goal gets at least a little bit closer to being achieved.  I'm always somewhat hopeful in the beginning of the season no matter what team I'm rooting for, even if more often than not the end result turns out to be disappointing as it often does with Arizona teams.  I'm weird like that I guess.

Later on when we're 20 games back I'll be resigned to the team's eventual fate, but at this point there's still a lot of baseball left to go and just about anything could happen.

Red Sox beat the Yankees after 19 innings and they have to play again in under 12 hours.

Both teams will be cranky and there will end up being a fight.

And that's a bad thing?

[Reya Serra]

Not as long as someone punches Alex Rodriguez right in the face and knocks him out.

[T-Bonizzle]

Uhhh A-Rod is kinda the hero of the team atm...

[Reya Serra]

And I would want that because?

[Jon]

Why do you want him knocked out?

Are you a Yankees, Mariners, and Rangers fan too?

+++++++9000!!!

Because I believe he deserves it.

And no lol

Go tigers


Unbeaten  in week one

[T-Bonizzle]

He served his time and deserves to be in the league so long as he does it right.

[Reya Serra]

The only reason he's still in the league right now is that he's still under contract, the Yankees don't want to spend tens of millions to get rid of him either by trading him and paying the majority of his remaining contract or releasing him outright, and nobody else has the financial capacity to realistically take on the rest of his contract and actually be able to contend.

It's not even the rule breaking that makes me want to hit him though so much as the fact that he plays for the Yankees and to me at least he kinda comes off as a douche (not as much as Barry Bonds, but still).  The rule breaking admittedly didn't help his case, though.

Archie Bradley is a pitcher to watch this season.
