Opening Day: MLB 2007 Season

**Hoggage_54** · 03-31-2007, 08:38 PM

Tomorrow is the opening day for the 2007 baseball season and I'm pumped! Lets get some predictions here...

I'm thinking the Toronto Blue Jays take it all this year, kicking the Spankees and the Bo-Sucks asses!

AL Cy Young: Roy Halladay
AL MVP: Vernon Wells

**QuieTSToRM33** · 03-31-2007, 08:40 PM

Everyone is allowed to dream.

The Jays will compete this year, that's for sure. But they will not win the division. At best they will be fighting for the wildcard.

Thats what I'm thinking too. But it's always nice to dream

I was 7/8 years old when the Jays won back-to-back in '92/'93, I still have the newspaper clippings of it. I would love to relive those days again

**Big Drez** · 03-31-2007, 08:52 PM

I'm a Tigers fan...so whatever they do or wherever they end up...gotta stick with my hometeam...

**chest6** · 03-31-2007, 08:57 PM

You think Sammy will go back on the sauce? He's looking a little soft this year, he might need some gh or test.

**Vinlander** · 03-31-2007, 09:19 PM

I said it last year and I'll say it again. Detroit will conquer and move on.

But my pick for the NLCS will be the Dodgers and Phillies.

Texas Rangers and what assassination squad? Who do they have for the rotation? Vicente "Sniper" Padilla and Kevin Millwood? That's about it. You can't win in baseball without pitching and the Rangers have none of it.

**CoreyTampa09** · 03-31-2007, 09:41 PM

I'm a Yankee fan, but actually know baseball, so I can admit who will win without a biased answer

AL

East - Yankees
Central - Tigers
West - Angels

Wildcard - Tie between Red Sox and White Sox and the White Sox will win in the one game playoff

Aneheim will win the American League

NL

East - Phillies
Central - Cubs - (Yes I said it)
West - Diamandbacks

Wildcard - Mets

Phillies will win the National League

World Series: Phillies over Aneheim in 7

AL Cy Young - Johan Santana
AL MVP - Vladimir Guerrero

NL Cy Young - Carlos Zambrano
NL MVP - Chase Utley

AL ROY - Alex Gordon
NL ROY - Stephen Drew

Biggest Surprise will be Toronto's Rotation with Burnett and Chacin
Biggest Dissapointment everyone on Tampa Bay besides Carl Crawford

You know baseball huh? Did you know that your pick for the American League is no longer the "Anaheim" Angels, but The Los Angeles Angels at Anaheim?

LOL. I was gonna critique also and say if u paid attention to any pre-season, u'd see the Cubs are doing really awful, pitching staff again in shambles.

**MartyMcFly** · 04-01-2007, 07:47 AM

C'mon Reds.

**crazycrab** · 04-01-2007, 08:53 AM

Orioles all the way. As soon as we get a owner that will get off wallet.

**wishmasterATM** · 04-01-2007, 10:43 AM

my team is oakland but I am realistic...I know they cant win the title...but the west they have a chance....
Jays have a good team, but they have no chance In east...
as for chase utley MVP, I doubt it very much...

that's like saying King Kamali is gonna win Mr. Olympia this year

**Hoggage_54** · 04-01-2007, 10:57 AM

The "experts" bashed the Raptors this year saying they will finish dead last, now they are third in the east, first in their division. Can't wait for the Blue Jays to own the AL.

**Hoggage_54** · 04-01-2007, 11:00 AM

Here's why the Blue Jays will win. This video gets me pumped everytime I watch it.

the blue jays might be able to score runs, but after halladay and burnett, the rotation is garbage. and they have no bullpen leading up to bj ryan.

**wishmasterATM** · 04-01-2007, 12:44 PM

dude Im not a jays fan, but i like them....
this clip you posted above gave me chills...nice dude!

**Vinlander** · 04-01-2007, 01:39 PM

Being a Jays fan doesn't mean their team will do well. Their batting lineup is deadly but again, it takes more than a lot of runs to win ballgames; the other team has to not score. lol

Texas has been a great example of that within the last 5-6 years lol

**CoreyTampa09** · 04-01-2007, 04:14 PM

im so sorryy guys for not mentioning that retarted new name they they share with the original brooklyn team.

Cubs by the way dont need prior or wood, you guys are still stuck in an early 2000 mindset. In the NL you need 2 starters and Zambrano and Rich Hill is all you need.

**chest6** · 04-01-2007, 05:01 PM

lol. Zambrano and Rich HIll..

We'll see about that. Victor is good but rich is meh

**Vinlander** · 04-01-2007, 05:06 PM

I don't think baseball or the National League can be simplified so easily. Unless your two starters are going the full 9 innings, you need quite a bit more than them. That's why there's 12-15 members of a pitching staff.

Besides that point, the Cardinals and Cubs play around 12-16 times this season. I don't think Zambrano will be throwing all of those games and the "friendly confines" are well-known for being a park you can drop bombs in.

The Cubs really are a victim of their own circumstances and need a new ballpark (not that Wrigley isn't a beautiful place, but let's face it--the game has changed since the 20s).

**chest6** · 04-01-2007, 05:10 PM

True, but the same could be said about quite a few parks.

How about that retard field yankee stadium. Even though theyve pushed back the RF fences from the ridiculous 294 feet or whatever it was in right before, its still short as hell.

**number twelve** · 04-01-2007, 07:28 PM

302 i believe

**Vinlander** · 04-01-2007, 07:33 PM

I'd have thought by now that the Yankees would have a lineup consisting entirely of left-handers from that perspective. You really have to physically unimpressive to not go deep in right field there.

**MuscleScience** · 04-01-2007, 08:27 PM

Go Cards Baby!!!!!!!!!!!!

**STYLE74** · 04-01-2007, 08:41 PM

Let's go Mets!!! They are beating the Cards right now!!

**MuscleScience** · 04-01-2007, 08:43 PM

The Mets have such a great line up on paper. Hopefully they can make some noise again this year.

**CoreyTampa09** · 04-01-2007, 10:45 PM

Chest and for your sarcastic answer back at you....its Carlos Zambrano not "more walks then K's" Victor Zambrano

**wishmasterATM** · 04-01-2007, 10:47 PM

hahahah never do that mistake of comparing carlos with victor...you can get shot for that j/k..lol
