I know it's early in the baseball season but....

The M's have been shit recently (and that's putting it nicely) I thought we could win the West this year, and we still have a long season ahead of us but we're gonna have to stop playing like this.

ANother thing that pisses me off...hearing the "blue Jays have a great chance to win the divisions, they've got the tools"...thats about 4 years now...they just suck.

They do suck.  But I still do think they have a lot of potential.
The Blue Jays are so frustrating.  They might just have the best pitching in the majors however they can't score fucking a run.  Such a waste of pitching talent.

Pretty much.  You can't win if you can't score.

It's when Toronto has advanced all those baserunners to second and third base that the bats have come up empty at an alarming rate. Entering Monday's doubleheader against the Indians, the Jays had a Major League-worst .209 average with runners in scoring position.

With runners simply on base, Toronto is ranked dead last in the American League with a .242 average. Part of the problem is that the Jays have grounded into a league-high 47 double players, entering Monday -- compared to 26 through 38 games a year ago.

Toronto can consider itself fortunate that, while the club currently resides in last place in the AL East, it headed into Monday's game six games behind first-place Boston. That's a result of the Jays' dominant pitching staff, which has helped overcome some of the offensive woes.

Yeah even though it won't last it's still amazing to see what Florida is doing.  Propz to the A's, Rays and Marlins so far this year.   
The Tigers have been disappointing along w/ The Yankees who have been disappointing but then again they have been every year for the last 9 years, it's become pretty pathetic.  And I imagine your sick w/ the Mets right now Fits,  a couple games over .500 w/ that money and roster 

I am actually pleased with the Giants so far,   Lincecum is showing all the signs that in the very near future he will be the best pitcher in the game for quite some time,  the kid is amazing,  and Brian Wilson is doing great, tied for league lead in National League in saves,  I think we are going to make a run at the playoffs in the next year or two.

Propz on the thread Fits,  we need more people here that will talk baseball on dubcc.  I know the handful of us baseball heads just doesn't post much MLB stuff here because the sports section on dubcc is dominated by Laker fans. 

man i think everyone in baseball is surprised to see how well the giants are doing this year.  shiit..i thought yall would be worse off than the padres are right now.  real spit.  but fuck it (no homo), the rivalry is always more fun when the two teams are so close..especially if it stays this way towards the end of the season.

^^Terrible loss tonight for Giants.

And you should be happy,  Dodgers have played very well so so far this season, they will be in the thick of things all year.

^^Zito has looked a little better these last 2 starts, it was funny that they cheered him so loud. He doesn't need to be a #1 starter, just give them a chance for a win like he did tonight. I like the younger guys in the lineup, Bowker and Lewis especially, but I can't stand Jose "Double Play" Castillo. That guy has gotten on my nerves since Opening Day.

As for the Giants/Dodgers rivalry, I agree that it's better when they are close to each other, although I enjoy when we are able to dominate. My Dodger fan friend and I were talking about how all the San Diego fans have tried to talk trash, but I don't even respect their input in baseball. I hate the Dodgers, but I can at least respect their existence as a legit baseball team and legit fans.

[J.D. Wykid, Esq.]

the padres aint shit. their fans were talking mad shit before the season even started, and look at them now! hahahaha

[Now_Im_Not_Banned]

Go Dodgers.

[acgrundy]

Oakland A's have the lowest ERA in baseball.  And they are in the top 3 lowest payrolls in baseball.  And they are 1/2 game out of first place 1/4 of the way into the season.  You gotta admire the heart in that clubhouse.

the padres aint shit. their fans were talking mad shit before the season even started, and look at them now! hahahaha

ha ha i know huh!

i think if the dodgers can put some consistancy together like our run we had earlier; we could end up doing what colorado did last year.

whats that?  make it to the world series because the national league is extremely weak, and then get whooped on by any american league team that makes the playoffs?

[Don Jacob]

hey i'll be happy if we just make the playoffs so making the world series is more than i could hope for.

[Javier]

If the Dodgers make it, I'd rather see them not do it the Rockies way.  They just got hot at the right time, out of nowhere. 

[hiphophead]

The Tigers have gotten off to a horrific start, I guess you cant buy chemistry on a team but the Marlins won that way in 1997 so maybe they can turn it around, The Mets need to fire Willie Randolph and get somebody to shake it up over there, they have been playing with their head up their asses now for almost a year, something is serioulsy wrong with a team with so much talent
