Baseball - A Black Falcon - 2nd February 2004
Two weeks to pitchers and catchers reporting... I can hardly wait... :)
Oh, predictions. :)
AL
East -- Boston... I have to believe...
Central -- Minnesota. I think they're still good enough...
West -- Oakland. Though my favorite team in the West is Seattle... Oakland just always seems to get it done...
Wild Card - New York. Very close behind the Sox.
NL
East -- Atlanta. I know the Phillies are a popular choice, and I'd rather they win than Atlanta, but the Braves have to be proven to be beatable and they've had a hold on this division for so long...
Central -- I don't know... Cubs? Or Astros. I'd rather the Cubs, but it could be either one.
West -- Giants. My favorite NL team, too...
Wild Card -- no idea. Phillidelphia? Los Angeles? Houston? Arizona?
Oh, and the Mets will be in last place again. :) And I hope the Expos do well... I like them...
Baseball - Weltall - 2nd February 2004
Go Bo Jackson! Woo!
Baseball - OB1 - 2nd February 2004
I was just about to say that!!
...
That's crazy!
...
You must be psychic or something...
Baseball - A Black Falcon - 2nd February 2004
If you don't have anything to say on the subject, just go away...
Baseball - Weltall - 2nd February 2004
Must be! You can use Deion Sanders if you want, he played both sports...
Baseball - OB1 - 2nd February 2004
Yeah but Bo Jackson sounds cooler.
And I like this thread. I think I'll stick around to ruin it like ABF does to all of my threads.
Baseball - A Black Falcon - 2nd February 2004
There are a few people here who like baseball, but they don't come very often, like DMiller...
Baseball - OB1 - 2nd February 2004
I like playing baseball...
Baseball - A Black Falcon - 2nd February 2004
Baseball is fun to both play (well I haven't in years but I liked it when I was younger...) and to watch. :)
Baseball - OB1 - 2nd February 2004
It's fun to watch a live game, but sooo boring on tv. And that is an objective fact. :p
Baseball - A Black Falcon - 2nd February 2004
No, it isn't. Slow paced? Yes. Do I watch all of every game I watch? No. However, is it often exciting? Yes! And anyway the slower parts aren't so bad... it's a bit different than other sports because in baseball you need to fill in a lot of dead time. In hockey or basketball the announcers don't know what to do with themselves when there's a free second... :) Oh, and I should mention that I never watch national broadcasts or anything, just the Red Sox... when you watch a team a lot you start to like the announcers. I know I think ours are good... a million times better than those morons on Fox in the playoffs, I hate them so much...
Baseball - OB1 - 2nd February 2004
*snore*
See? I fell asleep just thinking about it. :D
You at least have to admit that playing baseball is a trillion times more fun than just watching it. But then again you hate physical activities so...
Baseball - A Black Falcon - 2nd February 2004
No, because as I said I enjoy watching baseball... I don't watch the other sports, though. They're okay, I guess, but just aren't as interesting to watch to me.
Baseball - OB1 - 2nd February 2004
I bet you'd also rather watch someone throw a frisbee on tv than play it yourself.
Baseball - A Black Falcon - 2nd February 2004
Frisbee is boring, so no. :)
Baseball - Fittisize - 2nd February 2004
Not in the playoffs-Montreal. Sans Vladimir Guerrero and Javiar Vasquez? Enough to almost make a man cry. :(
World Series Champs-Yankees
Baseball - Great Rumbler - 2nd February 2004
WHAT?! YOU'RE INSANE!! FRISBEES ARE AWESOME!!!
Baseball - OB1 - 2nd February 2004
Frisbees are awesome!
Baseball - A Black Falcon - 2nd February 2004
The Red Sox will beat the Yankees this year... I know it... or I hope it... with their improvements they should... and anyway, being second six years in a row has to end sometime! Why not after you get Curt Schilling? :)
And yes, the Expos are definitely a real tragedy. Its awful to see what they have to go through.
Baseball - OB1 - 2nd February 2004
I bet whatever team Bo Jackson is in will win the Stanley Cup.
Baseball - Fittisize - 2nd February 2004
Wrong, Ottawa Senators will win the Stanley Cup. Bo Jackson doesn't play on that team. And THEN, in the World Cup of Hockey, Canada's gonna win that.
Baseball - OB1 - 2nd February 2004
Bo Jackson's so good that whatever baseball team he plays for will win the Stanley Cup. That's how good he is.

Nope, just OB1 trying to annoy me like usual and Weltall trying to annoy me because the Pats won the Super Bowl... :)
And yes I do want to do fantasy baseball again. I hope I actually make the draft this time though... :D
Full divisions... why not...
AL East
Boston (breaking 6 years of 5-team deadlock? Here's hoping!)
New York (WC)
Toronto
Baltimore
Tampa Bay
AL Central
Minnesota
Chicago
Kansas City
Cleveland
Detroit
AL West
Oakland (Stupid A's! I hate them! Why can't they just lose for once... :) )
Seattle
Anaheim
Texas
NL East
Atlanta
Phillidelphia (could win, but Atlanta is good as ever, I think)
Montreal (well not likely probably, but I hope...)
Florida (losing so many good players can't help...)
New York (they will still stink. :) )
NL Central
Chicago
Houston (stupid Roger Clemens... at this rate he'll have to go to the Hall of Fame without a logo on his cap... which might be best. I don't know if I want a Sox one and he doesn't deserve any of the others. As for why they're second, they just haven't proven they can make it yet... they easily could win the division, however.)
St. Louis
Pittsburgh
Cincinatti
Milwaukee
NL West
San Francisco
Los Angeles
Arizona (unless Randy Johnson has a really, really good year...)
Colorado
San Diego (improved but not there yet in a good division)
Baseball - The Former DMiller - 2nd February 2004
Glad you both want back in fantasy baseball. I'm going to try to get Laser Link to play this year, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to convince him. Do you guys have any suggestions for the league? I'm going to send out an email asking the same thing, but a little early feedback couldn't hurt.
Baseball - A Black Falcon - 2nd February 2004
I don't know, I don't exactly have anything to compare it to... :)
Baseball - OB1 - 3rd February 2004
Here's my roster:
Quarterback: Bo Jackson
Pitcher: Bo Jackon
Awesomeness: Bo Jackson

Master Blaster: Bo Jackson
Baseball - Great Rumbler - 4th February 2004
Coolest peson with the last name "Jackson": Peter Jackson. Sorry, Bo. :(
Baseball - OB1 - 4th February 2004
Hell yeah! And can you believe that ABF doesn't like him??? Man, that kid's got some serious issues...
Baseball - Great Rumbler - 4th February 2004
What?! That's crazy! Peter Jackson is awesome! Like a hobbit!
Baseball - A Black Falcon - 4th February 2004
Peter Jackson is a very good director. Bo Jackson is a baseball and football player from when the only sport I even remotely cared about was baseball, and a player I never cared about. :)
Baseball - Great Rumbler - 4th February 2004
You're opinion is stupid...but Bo Jackson certaintly isn't!!
Baseball - OB1 - 4th February 2004

Baseball - Fittisize - 19th February 2004
I see you predicted the Yankees to not win the world series this year. I don't think that's going to happen.
But of course I'm going to put my money on L'Expos this season. But dang, it's tough being a die-hard fan for a team when you have to 'die-hard' year in and year out. :( btw if the Expos moved to Virginia that would be just wrong. Why not go to Portland?? That's in a day or two's drive.
Baseball - A Black Falcon - 19th February 2004
The Yankees are so evil... EVIL EVIL EVIL EVIL EVIL
Baseball - OB1 - 19th February 2004
You wouldn't be saying that if Bo Jackson played for them!
Baseball - A Black Falcon - 19th February 2004
Oh, and did you hear Soriano is actually 28? Two years older than he said before... :D
The Rangers knew before the trade though so it wasn't a surprise to them... stupid Tom Hicks, making A-Rod his captain and everything just to trade him... and take on $67 million! Oh, sure, overall he gets $20-30 million more than he would have from the Sox, but still...
Baseball - OB1 - 19th February 2004
What does that have to do with Bo Jackson???
