Zimmerman is going to be huge. I was so pissed when i found somebody on our fantasy league grabbed him before I could.

Greetings all (regular) baseball addicts!!!!!

What can I say ... I am very excited that yet another MLB season is under way. Last year was so much fun. Seems like this year the Mets will OWN that NL East, but I am still cheering on my Braves to go for a wildcard at the very least.

Subscribing to this thread ...

Zimmerman not being very productive so far, offensively speaking. He's young, though and it's only 4 games into the season. I'm looking forward to a stellar performance from him come mid-july to August.

And spartan, I want a Soriano jersey now so I can wear it up to Boston when the Nationals play the Red Sox.

I'm also looking forward to some more Mets games now. Last night headhunting frenzy clinched the rivalry bar. Man, Jose Guillen hates Martinez! how many times has he been hit by him?

Were you at that game Shamez?

Negative. Nationals will surprise everyone and finally unseat your pesky braves from their 156thmillion consecutive pennant.


...as long as we get more pitchers and everyone stays healthy. I'm looking at you mr. nick "i havent been through a single season without being on the DL" johnson.

i'll be in anaheim for the yanks-angels game on sunday

i'll let you know what I think of anaheim stadium

Who would've thought that this year the last two remaining unbeaten teams would be Tigers and Brewers

And maybe Phillies can actually got 0-162 this year, hopefully ;-)

Detroit games are so much fun. That city deserves a winning team imo. (haha not b/c of their players but b/c of the fans)

Every weekend they have fireworks, and have some contest on field to give away a car.

Nope... Just watched it. Should make for an interesting season series between the two teams. I'm just glad Mets pitchers are finally picthing inside.

As for the Nationals... I actually think they'll finish behind the Marlins in the East. Their pitching is horrible and the offense is way overrated.

No way the nats finish behind the marlins. Their pitching isn't great but their offense is fine.

We'll see about that. Of all my crazy thoughts on baseball this year (Indians winning the Central, Brewers finishing second behind the Cards in the Central), this is the one I am most confident about. The Nationals were not good last year and their pitching got WORSE. And their offense, like I said, is VERY overrated.

The entire NL East is pretty much figured out. Only Mets have gone out and done some major fixing. Every other NL East lost something in the offseason, replacing it with inadequate deal/signing. Already Mets are leading NL East by 2 games with 2 games in hand///

This is going to be a long season.....

haha . it's only the beginning . the nats can always come back. you go ahead and have some fun in the outer banks . remember .. dark or navy blue people . run them over !!!1 ACC is going down this weekend !!

Bronson Arroyo hits another home run, his 2nd, in as many starts
At the time, he had as many HR's as teammate Ken Griffey Jr

i really like the mets' lineup. 1 through 5 they are probably the toughest lineup. if their rotation can hold up they will be really tough to beat because they have a strong bullpen too.

I was thinking... 3/4/5... where do the Mets rank in MLB? They've got to be in the top 5 with Beltran/Delgado/Wright. And, if we go 3/4/5/6, the only team better would be the Yankees.

I think the Mets pitching is eventually going to start faltering,they need to pull a trade at some point and get another arm in the fold

Nah. I really hope they don't make a stupid trade for a SP. After this season:

Tony Armas Jr.
Jason Schmidt
Ted Lilly
Andy Pettitte
Mark Mulder
Barry Zito
Doug Davis
Chris Capuano

Are all FAs. Unless a few Met minor leaguers play way over their head this year and we can trade them for one of those starters, I don't want to give up Pelfrey/Milledge for anyone.

Is anyone else getting sick of all the talk about Barry Bonds?
Baseball Tonight is showing each and every one of his at-bats.
Although I haven't heard them live, I heard it announced on XM Radio that on their MLB Home Plate channel, they'll cut to live coverage of each of his at-bats, whenever he goes up to the plate.

Save that for when he gets to 713 HR's.
Or let's start with him getting his first HR of the season.

So far this year, I've only been paying attention to the Mets. I've been a bad baseball fan so far.

i love when they have the boston marathon day game.

I am hoping for a miracle. I know my team can pull it off, they often have slow starts. But with injuries that can change. Talking about big games, tonight's the start of a BIG series (first of many) between Mets and Braves. Curious to see as to how each team is going to adjust to this matchup, as its a key one, especially for Braves, as Mets can really pull away this early in the season...

Guess we will see if the Braves are still in the Mets head,and thankfully Chipper is out..who is consistent Met Killer

i definately agree with this guy.
If you look at the met's rotation, it's

Tom Glavine
Victor Zambrano
Pedro Martinez
Steve Traschal
Brian Bannister

i agreen that pedro is the man (but history says only to a certain point, then we don't know) . glavine is aging, so this early start he is on right now won't continue on for a long stretch. zambrano and traschal are unproven, and bannister is young and volatile.

one more solid pitching before the trade deadline wouldn't hurt this team. unless if the mets have some real top AAA pitcher on the works to make it big, then we will see.

but i can't deny that they're hitting lineup is very good.

You are wise to realize this,you knoqw it is bad when you look at Bannister and realize Jamie Moyer has better stuff than him
