Re: Sports: MLB 2008
12-4 to start the year, D-Backs. Out to prove that the negative run differential last year was just a fluke.

This thread died rather fast. Now that's hockey's done and the NBA Finals are starting up this place will be buzzing more.

Re: Sports: MLB 2008
Especially now that the Red Sox are back in first where they belong, and us fans will begin talking smack.
Seriously though, I am happy to see the Rays doing so well. I like the fact that despite all the talk of Yankees/Red Sox/Angels and other big spenders, a smart, well run small budget team can still compete. Any Rays fans out there? Why the hell are so few people going to see this awesome team. I've been to the Trop, and indoor baseball is weird, but it is still a decent stadium. They deserve better for their play this year.

Re: Sports: MLB 2008
It's interesting when you look at the Diamondbacks and the Rays (show of handss: how many of us still want to call them the "Devil Rays"?) and you see how they took off in two totally different directions. Granted the Rays play in a division dominated by two teams (Yanks and Red Sox), but how long can that work as an explanation before the actual worth of a team comes into question? It's nice to see that the Rays are finally having a good season and the AL East has become a bit more competitive. My team's in the NL West, but it gets kind of old to see the AL East standings at the end of the year look like this:
1 and 2: (Boston/New York) 3 and 4: (Toronto/Baltimore) 5: Tampa Now that Baltimore, Tampa, and Toronto are putting up some kind of fight this year, this should be interesting to see unfold.

Re: Sports: MLB 2008
Figured it was time to resurrect this thread since we're into the home stretch for the 2008 season.
Who'd have thought the Rays would still be in this thing? What an insane division the AL East is this year. Four teams over .500, the Red Sox are red hot, but the Jays may be the best team going right now. ...and Manny, don't get me started. -insert signature here- Last edited by nyys; September 9th, 2008 at 08:59 PM.

Re: Sports: MLB
I hated to see him go too, but he had to go unfortunately. It's no coincidence that the team started playing better (2nd best post trade deadline record in fact) once he was gone.
I learned a long time ago to root for the laundry and not the players as 99% of them will disappoint you eventually. -insert signature here-

Yeah I know, he's on my fantasy team.  Couldn't have used that last night or anything...  Though were he still here, he'd probably be on the bench with a 'knee injury'.Damned if you do, damned if you don't. -insert signature here-

Re: Sports: MLB
Big win against the Jays tonight. Had to have that one with the pitching they're up against the next two days (double header Saturday).
Oh and when the heck did the Dodgers get 3 1/2 ahead of the D-backs? Did Arizona fall into a black hole? -insert signature here-
