It is Opening Day™ today and as I sit here listening to the Pirates @ Brewers home opener on the radio (what better way other than to be at the game??), expecting the Brewers to have a very good season with a real, legitimate shot at a playoff spot, I'm getting anxious to hear some goooood trash talk on the fledgeling season.

GO WINGS!
EDIT...
TIGERS WILL WIN IT ALL! When all the other teams quit...

If you want different results in your life, you need to do different things than you have done in the past. Change is that simple.

East: Atlanta
Central: St. Louis
West: Los Angeles
Wild Card: Philadelphia
Atl beats Los Angeles
StL beats Philly
StL over Atl
StL beats ChiSox 4-2 in WS
My reservations about Milwaukee are Sheets' shoulder and how Prince adjusts to the Big Show. I like them to press for the Wild Card but fall just short.

I am discretely watching the Sox - Rangers opening game on MLB.com as I type. Looks like Schilling is back on top.
I will be in Baltimore to see the Sox at Camden Yards this Saturday.
Go like..... ROYALS ..... and stuff.
This IS next year...you non-believers watch and see the Cubs go all the way!
Wood and Prior will be ready to roll in a few weeks and Zambrano will be incredible.
There is no way we can drop the ball again. The Cardinals are going DOWN this year...
P.S. Cubbies beating the Reds as we speak...but I'm not saying nothing until the fat lady sings...
EDIT: The fat lady is starting to warm up, Dunn just hit a homer. Tied 5-5...
I'll go with this
GO CARDS, GO CARDS, GO CARDS!!!!!!!!!!! This IS our year!!!!!
You guys won't be even close....I'll go with this
GO CARDS, GO CARDS, GO CARDS!!!!!!!!!!! This IS our year!!!!!
My only prediction is this:
Whomever comes out of the NL will get spanked by the AL in the World Series. I can't remember the AL ever being this deep with good teams (Chi Sox, Cleveland, Minnesota, Oakland, LAA, Boston, NYY, Toronto).

No not close, close only counts in horseshoes (and boy don't us Card fans know thatYou guys won't be even close....
I'm listeinig to Nationals vs. Mets right now. What a great day, baseball has begun! Ms.P begins her depression today. We were watching the ChiSox vs. Indians game last night and getting ready to go to bed when the rain delay hit. I told her to go ahead and turn it to the Turner Classic Movies and then she said "I hope it rains every night." Poor thing, the things she has to endure.
I'll go with predictions:
NL East: Braves
NL Central: Cardinals
NL West: Dodgers
NL Wildcard: Astros
AL East: Red Sox
AL Central: ChiSox
AL West: Athletics
AL Wildcard: Damnyankees
Cardinals and Athletics in World Series with St. Louis winning. But they play 162 games for a reason...
I'll be in Atlanta at the end of April to see them beat (play) the Mets.
Cheers to all

You know what you can do with that big RED FINGER?
Yeah, I know what I can do with it...point it at YOU when the Cards kick the Royals a$$You know what you can do with that big RED FINGER?
Your mama. Seriously, let me check the schedule and see about tickets. If you promise to get your carcass to KC, I'll buy you a ticket and feed you beer starting 3 hours before game time... DEAL?!?.... YOU when the Cards kick the Royals a$$
Yeah, twist my arm a little harder, b-ball and beer....uh....lets see.... I'll be there, but I am tellin you I will be in ALL red Cardinal gear (I am sure everyone else will be to, I mean who on earth thinks the Royals are gonna beat the Cards?? And how many Royal fans are there out there anyway??
Let me know when, I'll get my carcass up there and watch my Cards kick your Royal's bootie
[QUOTE=Jaxspra]No not close, close only counts in horseshoes (and boy don't us Card fans know that
Update on Cubs-Reds game: 9-5 Cubbies, Top of 6th, four runs scored in the 6th, no outs...
This is the way to start a new season... If I only were at home already, preferably holding a cold beverage
[QUOTE=LadyBuc]last I checked it was 10-0 Cards over PhillyNo not close, close only counts in horseshoes (and boy don't us Card fans know that

Hottie (I mean Scottie) Rolen hit a grand slam this afternoon ...the boys are on a roll!!!
[QUOTE=Jaxspra]Who is this "Philly" you speak of???last I checked it was 10-0 Cards over Philly
BTW: 12-5 Cubs
The Detroit Tigers have the pitching, the new Manager, and a whole new attitude to win!
That said.....
The Detroit Tigers will most likely win 20 more games this year than last year. And still finish 4th, in the toughest division in baseball.
1. White Sox
2. Indians
3. Twins
4. Tigers
5. Royals
