2005 MLB Season

if NY gets it together A-Rod maybe.. in the NL prolly Lee Jones is looking strong now also. I agree with Dan's Cy young picks as of now.

lets do some Over/Under!

1)Someone hitting 55 homeruns (i think 42 was tops last year)
2)Derek Lee winning 2 of the tripple crown categories
3)Ichiro BA .340 (low seeing as he was supposed to be the guy who could hit .400)
4)Al and NL East having combined 4 teams in the playoffs
5)Braves winning 14th straight
6)Whitesox 110 wins
7)Randy Johnson 20 wins
8)Red Sox 1 world series win (guess this is under or push)
9)Curt Schilling 10 wins
10)Bonds 10 Home Runs (heard some rumers he may be back in july)

Holy shit Griffey has played the 3rd most games on the reds so far!
11)Griffey play in 120 games
12)Griffey hit 25 home runs
13)Yankees personnel fired or veteran players traded/sent down 2
14)Dontrelle Willis ERA 2.50

ok i think thats good someone else tack on some more

and oh yea my slight rant.. Bernie williams is too old and needs to go, and the NL west may actually be worse then the AL West i mean even with bonds out giants and LA are a disapointment

ok and heres my picks..

1)under
2)under (BA is a lock i think, but RBI he will suffer cause of his teams weakness and HR will be close)
3)over (gotta hope he and his team gets it together but i fear they wont)
4)over (i know its a stretch but im sayin 5!)
5)over but it will be their hardest yet
6)under
7)under
8)push if schilling is back healthy otherwise under
9)over assuming above
10)over believing he will be back in a month or 2
11)under
12)under
13)over
14)under

1 under
2 under
3 under
4 under
5 nope
6 under
7 under by far
8 push
9 over
10 over
11 under
12 over
13 over
14 under

I think Roy Halladay over Garland. Garland is having a great year, but Halladay has one less win and one more loss, 2.40 ERA(1.00 less than Garland),40 more K's, 30 more innings and five complete games.

Garland's teammate looks even better. Buehrle is having a better year than Garland.

the NY post had an article saying that NYY and the NYM are ready to make a deal for shefield for cameron.. theres no way the yankees would actually do that is therE? Thats like me giving you a $100 for your $5

are you sure its not Bernie for Cameron?

yes im sure, because bernie is pretty piss poor as of now, cameron is liek 5 years younger then shef and a better defender and a pretty decent hitter. Apparantly the deal give the yanks a second decent player as well which makes more sense.

btw im glad i got atleast 1 or 2 people back talking in this thread

Yeah, it was pretty bad.

yeah... i thinkl it would be stupid for the Yankees, but i hate the yankees so i wouldnt mind them doing it, but then i dont want them to do it because it will make the Mets better

Yes NY is now in 4th place after gettin shelled by Detroit and Toronto killed Boston.

Toronto has been killing Boston all year. Currently, its 7-2 for the entire series.

Jeter is NOT on the all-star team, and the O's and Sox have the middle covered, with Varitek, tejada, roberts, and damon all starting, then ortiz at DH and Manny will be in either Right or Left.. and little NY only has A-Rod at 3rd.. thats gotta be hard to get along. But I love it.

No.. Jeter might get the final two all-stars, hes in the voting. Make sure you vote for Brett Myers too. Or Wagner. Theyre Phillies so vote for them!!!

woah and read this, about the Home Run Derby.

yea he will prolly end up making it, but i hope he doesnt

There goes the Blue Jays season. Halladay gone for the month.
And he's chance of getting the Cy Young also.

And being the starting pitcher for the All-Star game.
Why cant this happen to the top teams. Like Orioles losing Tejada or Boston losing Rameriz, or etc.etc.

orioles are back in 3rd now or it may be tied but they were back a half game... why didnt they make some moves when they were rockin? to add another good pitcher or something!

instead of that.. how about the Yankees lose A-Rod, Jeter, SHeffield, Matsui, and Johnson. 😄

Exactly.
Its not fair.

When Halladay went down for a month, their should be a rule that makes teams with payrolls over 100 million dollars give their second richest player on loan for the amount of time it takes the injured player to get back. 😄

heh, think how the reds feel losing griffey all those times, or the giants with no bonds right now.. hell the cubs without lee for 3 games prolly almost quit all together after their pitching issues...

and redsox no schilling orioles lost matos for a while, sosa, javy lopez, and a couple others. So Toronto isnt exactly being singled out

Oh I know.
But the difference is that most of those teams are capable of providing backup due to the fact they have money.
