Jaime L Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Nationals Free Agent signee, Julian Tavarez: [quote]“Why did I sign with the Nationals?†Tavarez said told a group of reporters. “When you go to a club at 4 in the morning, and you’re just waiting, waiting, a 600-pounder looks like J. Lo. And to me this is Jennifer Lopez right here. It’s 4 in the morning. Too much to drink. So, Nationals: Jennifer Lopez to me.â€[/quote] You hear that? We're the J-Lo of baseball teams.

VikingBeard Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 I'll be joining you all for this upcoming MLB season. Team of choice - Yankees. I also have a fondness for the Jays (grew up liking them before I really understood the game), and I watch a lot of Cubs games because they play in the daytime a lot. So bring on opening day tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far too many Sox and Cubs fans here. I think it's just groz and me for the Yanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myshkin Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Eww, another Yankees fan. Well I guess it's better than another Sawks fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbigski Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Tavares is always notable and exciting to have around, especially when he's on the mound. Kind of like how a plane crash can be exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronn Stone Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Can't remember a season where I felt like I had less to look forward to as a Padres fan. Maybe the year after the 1993 fire sale. But this is probably worse. Especially being in San Francisco and seeing the Giants doing it exactly the way I wish the Padres were (sans the Zito deal).

Kawnliee Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I have high hopes for my Mariners. By which I mean that by an incredible stroke of luck, we may actually get back to being a .500 club. Of course, Ichiro's in the 15-day DL, but he is scheduled to come off it on the day that I go to see a game. So. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatuous Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I wonder if the Red Sox can make a comeback from the mess that was 2008. No, no. I forgot. They were fine, it was the year that sucked. I haven't had much interest in following them at all because 2009 so far has been an even worse year {if such a thing was possible}; Opening day is Monday and I don't even know the pitching rotation beyond the fact it doesn't include Buchholz.

Is this completely facetious? I don't know whether to be appalled or sympathetic or what. Probably the first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Security Squish Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I am looking foward to seeing some Tigers games at Comerica this summer, sports are really the only thing about Michigan we have to raise our morale. Of course as soon as we are feeling alright it becomes footabll season and we have to hide the tylenol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning Lord Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I am pretty stoked about this year for baseball. Maybe because I get to go to games again, even if it is in Korea. But one of the local teams is also the Twins, my team back home. The MN Twins have a good shot this year. Our pitching just keeps on truckin, not really sure how. As long as Kubel and provide some offense to help out Morneau and if we get some production from our outfield, we'll be a contender. Oh, if we get even 3/4 season from Mauer, we'll be the team to beat. Unless Cleveland has really improved. It seems like the White Sox are just aging too fast, won't be able to keep up for a full season with the youth we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
