PrintDon't forget about SB Nation's incredible baseball network on opening day! Some of the sites likely to be of note for our community:
Cardinals: Viva El Birdos
Royals: Royals Review
Cubs: Bleed Cubbie Blue
White Sox: South Side Sox
Rangers: Lone Star Ball
Pirates: Bucs Dugout (Sorry Bill!)
Mets: Amazin' Avenue (Sorry Beef!)
Padres: Gaslamp Ball (Sorry LHJK!)
And, of course, the Mothership has you covered all day long.

hold up a sec...
is that “Sorry” because I’m a Padres fan? I mean, I’m a Cardinals fan first and foremost….I’ve just adopted the Padres since I live here and because there’s no love lost between me and the Dodgers, Giants and D-Backs.
I needed an excuse to link up Gaslamp Ball
… and you were that excuse.

Since it's the offseason...
Why not make this a prediction thread?
Give us your division winners, your wild card teams, and the number of wins for your favorite team.

I would much rather talk cardinals baseball with a smaller community
Viva El Birdos is great, but too many damn people
I wouldn't mind nice baseball discussion
But I don’t want this devolve into a RMN chat on the cards. Because then I’ll get yelled at or banned.

you left out the 2010 world series champions
first time i’ve visited that site. there’s a 1 day ‘probation’ period before you can join due to ‘recent inappropriate activity’. hmmm…
we’re going to opening day on friday. my wife doesn’t think going into labor at the ballpark is a good thing. seems like it would be pretty cool to deliver the baby at the hot dog stand on the concourse, right? j/k
I know a lot of SBN sites are putting up 24-hour probation periods...
We’ve been getting HAMMERED by spam in the last few weeks, and probation periods seem to be a big help in fighting it.
that makes sense
i automatically thought of bad behavior as opposed to spamming
where can i get a prada handbag dammit!
Picks surely to fail
NL: Phil’s, Cards, Dodgers, Cubs (WC)
AL: Rays, Twins, Angels, Red Sox (WC)
Cubs get 92, just enough for WC.

more failure:
NL: Phillies, Cardinals, Dodgers (Rockies)
AL: Yankees, Twins, Angels (Red Sox)
Cards over Rockies, Dodgers over Phillies
Red Sox over Angels, Yankees over Twins
Cards over Dodgers
Yankees over Red Sox
Cardinals over Yankees
Completely uninformed picks sure to fail:
NL: Cards, Rockies, Phillies and no freaking clue on the wild card. Braves?
AL: Angels, Yanks, Twins. Rays in the wild card.
Totally want to take the Rangers in the West, but I won’t believe it until it actually happens, at which point I still may not believe it. Innocent until proven guilty = Angels until someone else knocks ’em off.
DISCLAIMER: I know nothing about baseball.
whatever.
you know nothing about baseball? the braves are actually a pretty good pick to do well this year. maybe even better than the wild card, they could easily win the east. if you knew nothing of baseball, how would you know this? lucky guess? something tells me that’s not the case. ;-)

NPR this morning asked: What would your at-bat theme song be?

BRASS BONANZA
just to homegenize the sports. People would be all confused like, " Hey isn’t that the song on the NFL file films? Isn’t this a baseball game?"
It would put the pitcher out of his zone, then I could rake!

Happy Opening Day to all.
Go Rangers.
"So we finish the 18th and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, 'Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know".

rocks > phillies
al: yankees, twins, rangers, red sox-wc
yankees > twins
rangers > red sox
yankees > rangers

Is it Opening Day?
I hadn’t noticed. I thought a bunch of professional wrestlers were playing wiffle ball. As much juice as there is in the game, I can’t tell the difference. Not that I’m bitter or anything.

Quite the opening day at the Ballpark.
In unrelated news, Jason Hayward is awesomeness epitomized.

OPENING DAY!!!!
Had to watch the game recorded after I got home from work, booo.
2 Albert homers and a Yadi grand slam? What a great opening day.
