** The Official 2012 MLB Thread! **

It does appear the question on Zim has been answered,as they have signed a six year $100 million dollar extension with a full no trade clause.

*cue whiny rant about how no one claims the Nationals are buying championships*

Did I even say that? Why be a jerk? You can always put me on ignore if you'd like. But when I talk baseball,I have the RIGHT to talk about my team and the hypocrisy that is shown towards them.

I think he took the roids,but here's the thing. MLB set up a protocol to follow,and it wasn't. People might be outraged but guess what,if this was a criminal case the judge would have done the same thing.
MLB can't tell players to follow the rules if they aren't willing to do it themselves.

In all honestly I think a lot of them juice up but not to the extreme like with Bonds and all those guys..but theirs a few guys that I hold deep to my heart and I have no problem turning a check until they seriously screw up and Braun is one of them

 

[Ninja108]

Put you on ignore. That will allow this thread to hopefully get back on track.

Maybe this thread is going a little off the road here

There will be ten playoff teams this year. I like it,it's high time that the wild card teams were penalized.

I like it as well.
It’s pretty big news for all, teams but ya have to think it will be especially interesting in the NL East where most believe is going to be the most competitive division..
With teams like The Marlins, Nationals and of course the Mets with all that new exciting talent and lineups going up against the once mighty Braves and Phillies I an easily see three National League East teams in the 2012 playoffs. I have been sayin it all year this is gonna be one heck of a baseball season for the NL East. Can’t wait

The NL and AL east races should be very intresting,as will the AL West and NL Central.

I think alot of MLB teams are going to be interesting. Its going to be a crazy and exciting year!

The Marlins are now my favorite NL team!

 

[Ninja108]

The Marlins mo..get into the postseason via the Wild Card,win the World Series and then have a firesale to save $$$.
All the money Loria spent this past offseason was money he should have been forced by MLB to use long ago.

 

[gtru1981]

So 2012 marks a few important things in baseball history.

-The 100th anniversary of Fenway Park (home of the Red sox)

-Marlins new stadium will open (Marlins stadium)

-Houston Astros will celebrate 50 years of playing (orginally called the Colt 45s)

-New York Mets will celebrate 50 years of playing as well

 

[sonny10305]

Hey Yankees fans what are your thoughts about Andy Pettitte's return

 

[NYDan815]

as a diehard mets fan its gonna be a rough year, but im stoked for it to start!

im predicting a Tigers/Giants World Series won in 6 by Detroit

 

[gtru1981]

Hey, how fitting! That's how many games the Astros will win: 50. Or maybe they'll win 45 to commemorate the Colt 45s.

lol..sad but probally true!

At least the O's and Twins will take comfort in knowing they won't be the worst teams in the AL anymore.

Hey the Twins had a bad year...lets not write them out completly...Mauer/Morneau and the Twins need to stay healthy and get their shit together, plain and simple lol

I think Mauer will bounce back...Morneau on the other hand. He's never been the same since his concussion.

Mets killer Chipper Jones announced he is retiring after the 2012 season.
He's a Mets killer cause he has a .318 average with 48 homers and 154 RBIs in 812 career at-bats against the Mets. In fact his numbers playing against the Mets were so good he even named a son Shea because of his success at Shea Stadium.

Go ahead Chipper rub it in

 

[Ninja108]

Chipper Jones ranked number two on MLB network's list of team killers. He terrorized the Mets.
