Bonus points for anyone who recognizes the Thread Title.

So, the burning question we have is: how will the Pittsburgh Pirates manage to miss the playoffs this year?

Just gonna put this up here to start the thread, just because:

Strange that Orange and Black are also the colors of The Netherlands.

Their front office can shove that hoka right up their hey. I'm certain that some sort of "hell week" bullshit those idiots try out will get someone lost for the season.

jwhouk · Mar 10, 2013

And what's scary is, they have one less team they have to deal with in the Central!

Why you gotta bring up old shit?!

blotsfan · Mar 10, 2013

I'm not looking forward to this thread title being here forever.

Hey, if you want me to change it after Netherlands is eliminated, I will...

I love the World Baseball Classic. It's always fun to watch international team tournaments. I also like that the WBC takes the fact that most of it's players are professionals taking time off from spring training into account.

Charlie Don't Surf · Mar 11, 2013

Can't wait to watch the Astros roll this year

bhamv3 · Mar 12, 2013

Man, the World Baseball Classic was crazy here in Taiwan. I thought the government would declare a national day of mourning after the 14-0 loss to Cuba.

sixpackshaker · Mar 13, 2013

I can't wait to watch another 100 loss season for the Astros.

FUCK YEAH!

Tress · Mar 29, 2013

Buster Posey and Justin Verlander are now very, very rich men.

Cheesy1 · Mar 29, 2013

Like for Buster. Verlander can go test his "unhittable" pitches on Pablo again.

blotsfan · Mar 29, 2013

How long until Posey was gonna be a free agent? Because with the way baseball contracts are, this one seems kinda "low."

Tress · Mar 29, 2013

He was in the last year of his contract.

jwhouk · Mar 29, 2013

Lohse.

Charlie Don't Surf · Mar 29, 2013

I keep telling myself it's romantic to cheer for a team as bad as the Astros are going to be. I'm going to savor every win.

CrimsonSoul · Mar 29, 2013

A-rods salary is higher than the entire astros salary

jwhouk · Mar 29, 2013

That's been true for a lot of teams for about a decade or so now.

Trust me, it's not. The Astros are not the Cubs.

So - prediction time!

Division winners, World Series result, where your team will finish, anything else?

1. Blue Jays, Detroit, Angels and Phillies, Cardinals and Giants for division champs.
2. Giants lose to the Blue Jays in seven.
3. Brewers finish third in the NL Central (behind the Cards and Reds; missing the last WC spot by a game)
4. The Yankees will finish dead last in the AL East.

Charlie Don't Surf · Mar 30, 2013

Alright, fine, fuck it, I'll say it.

1) The Astros Will Win 63 Or More Games

jwhouk · Mar 31, 2013

...No they won't.

Cheesy1 · Apr 1, 2013

Huh, what do you know! The Astros have a winning record already!

ASTROS ARE LEADING THE DIVISION, AMERICAN LEAGUE AND MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL IN WINS

Fuck ESPN. A preview of the Dodgers vs. Giants game today gets five minutes discussing the Dodger's potential to have a great year, and 60 seconds of talking about how much they don't like Lincecum and Sandoval on the Giants. Nice balanced coverage there.

Not to mention they went undefeated for an entire month this season...

Cheesy1 · Apr 4, 2013

Giants win the first series of the year against the Dodgers! Man, I hope that happens a lot more this season!
