Opening Day is officially here Boyos.
:worthy: Baseball
:worthy: No flopping faggots
:worthy: No corrupt governing body like FIFA
:worthy: The GOAT isn't a midget twink
:worthy: Teams actually score every game
:worthy: The players actually have strength, speed, and athleticism, so they don't have to pretend that lightly jogging is impressive
:worthy: Most drama and tension of any team-based competition in the world
:worthy: Only playoff hockey and March Madness measure up to the MLB playoffs in terms of excitement
:worthy: The Expos are coming backPERIOD
:worthy: Trout, Harper and Kluber are all signing with the ExposPERIOD
How can povertyball fans even compete with this? (They can't.)
Relying on Japanese pitchers has become the MLB equivalent of relying on white American players in basketball or relying on gimmicky scrambling quarterbacks in football, tbh.
idk man, Darvish and Tanaka(despite this poor start) are both pretty good doe.
:lol Giants
:lol New closer, still choking
Giants :lol
Lester already in choking form.
3x Champ, 9 Playoff wins, 2.68 Playoff ERA & 1.03 Playoff WHIP. Sorry, try again m8.Quote:

Fun games so far.
Great opening day. A couple of dramatic games to start the season.
2 Walk off games. Not bad. :king
Well that sucked, especially after that big homer. GG doe.
:lol Anyone who thinks soccer is more entertaining than thisQuote:

LOL at Royals bullpen collapsing first game of the season.
Yesterday: 2 walkoffs
Today: extra-innings thriller between bitter division rivals (Jays/O's) and another walkoff
Baseball is back, folks. :toast
And yesterday's povertball feature between Arab airline vs Arab airline was a 2-2 draw :lolQuote:

Damn, first game of the year and the umps are already fucking the Rangers.
Also, I love Napoli but the Rangers shouldn't of brought him back for a third stint with the team, much less to be the team's clean-up man.
:lmao twiceQuote:

Sam Dyson just like Tolleson doesn't have closer stuff.
First Tribe win since Game 4. :downspin:
I'm still not convinced he belongs in the MLB. I mean, you can depend on him if your team is up 7 runs and he can afford to give up three runs before finding his groove. Actually a step up from some of the other clowns in their bullpen.Quote:

In terms of outfielders and such.
Good win last night.Quote:

I'm not even surprised anymore. This team is complete dogshit. Sam Dyson needs to be tarred, feathered, and ran out of town.
:lolQuote:

At least the Padres managed to win one game but god damn they got rolled by the Doyers in this series. Hope it isn't a sign of things to come; thought they'd have a better season than last.
I don't see it getting any better for the Pads this year. Dodgers and Giants are clearly the class of the division and I'd also put a healthy D-Backs team over them.
They weren't gonna be close to contending for the division, but they have enough talent to not be a complete embarrassment. It's looking like they're finally ready to shell out money to keep young talent instead of trading it for more prospects.Quote:

Red Sox ain't shit without big papi. Perennial losers.
God damn the Rangers look awful. Thought they'd at least contend for a playoff spot but they might be a sub-.500 team this year.
Dads on are on a tear! You got hope, bro?Quote:

Otani, who is expected to move to Major League Baseball in 2018, hurt his left leg trying to beat out an infield single in the Nippon Ham Fighters' loss to the Orix BlueWave on Saturday.
The injury will add further debate to Otani's insistence on batting as well as pitching.
The 22-year-old right-hander didn't play for Japan in last month's World Baseball Classic because of an ankle injury he suffered in last year's Japan Series and aggravated while running the bases in the Premier12 tournament in November.

:lol Japanese pitchers
Giants look pretty shitty too. Padres already got embarrassed by the Doyers so I'm not holding my breath.Quote:

Darvish/Hamels/Perez? aren't dominant though. They can have good games every now and then but Darvish is kinda gimmicky, Hamels is declining quickly, and Perez is not a dominant pitcher by any stretch of the imagination. Odor/Mazara look ready to take another leap but unless that happens they have a mediocre lineup compared to the rest of the AL West.Quote:

I said CAN be dominant (Darvis/Hamels that is, Perez was a stretch though I'll admit) as in they will have many shutdown games this year sprinkled in between a handful of bad losses.Quote:

Rangers up 5-3. Wonder how they'll blow it tonight?
Really digging this rookie pitcher in the bullpen. Give him and Jeffries the set-up roles and let Bush be the closer.
LeClerc :tu
Diekman second surgery :cry
Diekman was beyond done last year. Now its time for him to just make it official.Quote:

That's the same problems the Royals are having so far. Starting pitching has been dominant except for your old friend Jason Hammel.Quote:

Wouldn't surprise me if the Astros cruise on their way to win the AL West.
Solid win after trailing 0-5. Bats and bullpen finally got their shit together, at least for one night.
That's actually surprising since his pre ASG stats were actually quite solid for his tenure in the Windy City.Quote:

Rangers might actually be the worst team in the AL West this year. That's depressing.
Royals finally beat Bumgarner last night :toast
Pads won't finish dead last after all. Madbum being out couple months might just Giants in the basement for good.
Madbum out two months because he was out rednecking on his bike :lol
Couldn't happen to a nice franchise, right Robz4000?
Red Sox need a name change...the injured? These dudes are always getting hurt on a nightly basis.
Eh, I don't hate the Giants as much as I used to. Fuck Toronto though (as long as Jose Bautista is still there).Quote:

Chris Bosio u da real MVP. Plz be back soon. :depressed
Pujols still shitting on the Rangers per par :lol
Shit's ridiculous. He's mediocre against every other team these days but when he plays the Rangers he has a 50% chance of hitting it out if the park. Same thing with that faggot David Freese, only he's always been a fringe player.Quote:

Props to the Dads for blowing out the Giants, Robz4000
Glad the Padres escaped the basement of the NL West at least one night :tuQuote:
