�
as far as that Junior to the Mariners rumor...it could happen, but not anytime soon.� if we're out of contention near the deadline, i would lookfor him to be dealt.� he is in the final guaranteed year of his contract.� during his return to Seattle last year, he mentioned how he would like to be back inSeattle sometime.� like i said before, i hope he is able to finish his career in the AL as a DH and going back to Seattle would be a perfect end.

baltimore fans?� yes, DoubleJs.� i actually asked him about Adam Jones myself in a different thread:

well maybe you can return the favor...what's the expectations for Daniel Cabrera this season? that dude just totally baffles me.

and what's good with Adam Jones?

Daniel Cabrera....he has had a good Spring Training. There are still days where his stuff is electric, but he has still walked 10+ guys in a little under 18 innings pitched so far. Word is, he has now developed a change up, and he will be incorporating that into his normal pitches. If this dude can put it all together, he would be a dominant pitcher. It's just the inconsistency and the walks that not only kills him. but the O's as well...Everyone has been waiting for him to make that jump, hopefully this is the year where he figures everything out.


Adam Jones....all returns on the kid have been high. I believe he is batting 7th or 8th in the order, but I am sure that will change due to his production. He has been compared to a young Torii Hunter, and has had a good spring. I think next season you will see him truly break out.

Those BringBackGriffey videos are

I have my Mariners Griffey jersey ready to go (I'm still wearing it either way). I have to get a Reds Griffey for the summer

New Twins Commercials

I think we have the best year in, year out for teams...
That second commercial was pretty funny except I don't think many people on here outside of Twins fans no who Kent Hrbek is.

My 2008 MLB Predictions

* - Wild Card Winners

AL EAST
1.New York Yankees
2. Boston Red Sox*
3.Toronto Blue Jays
4.Tampa Bay Rays
5.Baltimore Orioles

AL CENTRAL
1.Detroit Tigers
2.Cleveland Indians
3.Chicago White Sox
4.Minnesota Twins
5.Kansas City Royals

AL WEST
1.Seattle Mariners
2.Los Angeles Angels
3.Oakland Athletics
4.Texas Rangers

NL EAST
1.New York Mets
2.Philadelphia Phillies
3.Atlanta Braves
4.Washington Nationals
5.Florida Marlins

NL CENTRAL
1.Chicago Cubs
2.Cincinnati Reds*
3.Milwaukee Brewers
4.Houston Astros
5.St. Louis Cardinals
6.Pittsburgh Pirates

NL WEST
1.Colorado Rockies
2.Arizona Diamondbacks
3.Los Angeles Dodgers
4.San Diego Padres
5.San Fransisco Giants

World Series: Yankees over Mets.

I guess you can say I live in a fantasy world, but whatever. As long as the Yankees make the World Series and win, I don't care how the season pans out forother teams.

I have the Reds winning the Wild Card. I think they'll play solid baseball throughout the season as they are fairly young. I have Griffey and BrandonPhillips on my fantasy team, so hopefully Phillips will put up good numbers (Griffey I'm not worried about, I know what the man is capable of

)

johjima and a package to the reds for george kenneth....reds start bruce everyday and the m's bring in jr as DH

i would seriously buy tickets to every m's home game for the rest of the season

All the talkings around the Mariners and Jr. point to signing him next off season when he is a FA. They don't want to give much away for him whenthey can sign him next year.

Metrodome = No weather issues

Hopefully nobody's Opening Day is affected by horrible weather.

 

[N41D]

Couldn't care less if it's the Nationals and Odalis Perez...

It's Opening Day folks...

Welcome back Baseball. Welcome back afternoons at the ballpark. Welcome back John Kruk and the BBTN crew...

Oh, and as if the Rangers being bad this year wasn't enough to rain on my parade, Brandon McCarthy hit the 60 day DL today...

On the bright side, it probably means Eric Hurley will be up sooner rather than later.

MLB and Bud Selig have completely screwed up Opening Day '08.
