MLB 2013 Season

[mooby]

I think the time for the Nats to turn things around this year is starting to dwindle, and I don't like their odds, but hopefully a new manager next year will be able to turn things around. I really hope a fresh voice will help because talent isn't the problem here, they just seem to be doing little things wrong here and there that teams are taking advantage of. Things like pitchers checking runners more, doing a proper sac bunt to move our runners, maybe move R.Zim from third base (it's a little unnerving watching him throw to first, when you never know whether to expect another wild pitch), etc. As far as hitting goes maybe they need a fresh pair of eyes to analyze their swings or something, it feels like they are pressing too hard when they are at the plate.

TL;DR: Even if they do go on a late season run I don't see them making the playoffs. I am in favor of figuring out what they have for next year.

I hate to say it, but next year looks like a rebuilding year. Blah.

damn shame. probably gotta opt for tommy john

It's probably 'too little, too late,' but the Nats are certainly making this interesting...

[CultBrennan59]

I still think they're a tease. They won't make it to the playoffs despite their late, desperation run.

[Chico23231]

Nats are done and I see Zim is starting to turn it up with 20 games left. Way too late.

Robinson Cano seeking 10-year, $305 million deal - ESPN New York

ha! please yankees lock up him for 305 mil. another brilliant move

[CultBrennan59]

I think this is the Tigers year to win it all.

[Monkeydad]

I'm rooting for the Pirates to win it all since my team was horrible. That would be great to see.

I want Oakland vs. Pittsburgh...small(er) market WS.


I'm not sure anyone is slowing the Dodgers down though.

I enjoyed watching the video of Mariano Rivera getting the standing o when he was pulled from the game last night. Not a Yankees fan but he is one of the true class acts in the game. I wish him the best in retirement, he's had a great career and he will go down as one of the best players of all time.

I hate the f-ing Red Sox.

Anybody but Boston!

They have the worst fans in sports.

[CultBrennan59]

Boston Redsox= New England Patriots

St. Louis Cardinals= Pittsburgh Steelers

Atlanta Braves= Dallas Cowboys

I hate them all, and 2 of them are still in it. Sadly, I think one of those 2 will win it all unless Detroit or LA gets their sh!t together.

No Yankees are the cowboys of baseball, like it or not they the biggest and most popular franchises in sports

...Yankees are my 2nd favorite team (father was born and raised in NYC; he roots for them, I root for them. Then the Nationals came along...) but I can see the similarities and won't disagree with that at all.
