Phightins

They were so sick last year. Won their championship. A bunch of those guys are going to be Reading (AA) within a year or so. Can't wait to see them.

Well yeah. But for teams like the Sixers, that's all that really matters.

Only of the four major leagues where you have absolutely no shot as an underdog in the playoffs.

Yep. The unfortunate part about the NBA. Still a hell of a season with a huge amount of progress, regardless of postseason result.

This team has 1st/2nd round exit written all over it. Please prove me wrong Flyers. Chances to officially eliminate two inferior teams this past week and ice the conference top seed and failed miserably. Oh, and Kris Versteeg has been absolutely awful ever since the trade. Can we get that first rounder back?

Back in the playoffs!

Josh Johnson just had a no-hitter broken up in the 7th...

Playoffs!

'06 Honda Civic. 110k miles on it. I plan on driving it into the ground. Great car.

I am so pissed I didn't take advantage of this last year, especially considering some of the 'spects on that team.

Great 9th inning. I was at work for the first 8, guess I saw the only part worth seeing!

Based on paper, obviously, I'll take the Red Sox. Yankees close behind. I'd disagree about the Rockies. Gonzalez and Tulowitzki might be as good of a 1-2 punch as there is, but the rest is so hit or miss. I'd take the Braves over them easily.

Easiest question yet. No.

Hard to argue with the Giants. Dodgers will be up there too, if Broxton ever gets his shit together. And obviously the Yankees look strong.

Every team in baseball does it. Or tries to, anyway.

Pronger shut down til the playoffs. Smart.

If they are that upset with him, they can feel free to just give him to the Phillies.

Ronnie Belliard signed to a minor league contract. Interesting.

I knew Maybin was a sexy pick for my NL only team . Today is case in point as to why the "closer" as an individual position is SO overrated.

Matt Holliday is a strong individual....

I miss Pedro . For a guy who only spent two months here, he was a lot of fun...

People like us, who know/love sports, forget that the percentage of people at games who actually know what they are watching is tiny. Can't hold everybody to our standards. If it is cold and rainy, the people who don't give a shit about the game (a depressingly large percentage) are not going to sit through it.

In fairness, the weather is absolutely miserable. I know hardcore fans like all of the baseball fans on OTR would deal with it, but you can't expect 50,000 people to stay in their seats through that, especially when a large percentage of them don't care enough about an April (March??) baseball game.

The Rays signed Wade Davis to an incredibly team friendly extension. Longoria part 2. Seriously...three team options!

Or if it was 5 degrees warmer. I can't remember ever seeing a ball hit that hard stay in that park.
