Since evryone is talking about baseball and soccer (???). I will go ahead and let oyu guys in on a secret. The Cincinatti Reds (yes those Reds) will win the World Series this year. Adam Dunn is the greatest power hitter since Barry Bonds without steroids. If he can mature and stop striking out look out for your next triple crown winner. The ptiching is much improved and Junior will stay healthy and return to his form of the best player of the 90s.
Book it and remember you heard it here first.
Oh yeah before you start the Cardinals are weak.

Welcome to the board!!!!
REds Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh! :laugh:
as long as Griffey doesn't break a toe nail or something, who knows?
I'm with you, Matty. Don't listen to Ned.
You're right. With Dunn, Griffey, Kearns and Casey, watch out offensively. And the pitching looks promising. Nobody predicted the Reds back in 1990 and they went wire to wire. I'm going to second your prediction and say it will happen again this year.
And, no, it doesn't matter how many posts you have on here to KNOW what you are talking about. Most of these guys that have thousands of posts on here - 90% is senseless bs.
Go Tigers.

Are things that desolate in Fayette county that you all have to turn to the Reds? :laugh:
The cardinal haters come out every so often..... one of these years they will be right (you cannot win EVERY year ) but the REDS?
:sleep:
Come on, Ned. You know that us Fayette Countians are as smart as they come. I predicted that you would be a huge success with the Louisville Game Day tailgate party, and I predicted that Darius would miss those free throws. I can't help it!!
So, I predict the Reds to win it all. Binghampton is good, for sure, but Fayette County is heaven.
Either way, you're aces in my book.
True
my dear friends you are both mislead, don't you know heaven is that quaint little village called Germantown!

MattyG, I trust that you are a good Tiger fan that has poor taste in Baseball teams.
Don't do like the last Cardinal basher --CALZONE -- he left the board never to return after the cardinals mowed down his baby bears.
<a href='http://www.ncaabbs.com/forums/memphis/invision/index.php?act=ST&f=10&t=14406&hl=' target='_blank'>CLICK HERE FOR CALZONE's last stand!!!!</a>
ah, the crappy cubbies. I would bank that Matty G knows more about Tiger bball than anyone else on this board his age, and maybe some of us older too.
wow, that CalZone guy was arguing with no ammo.
The Cardinals are still the class and the team to beat in the National League.
The Central should end up something like this
Cards
Cubs
Astros
Reds
Bucs
Brewers
Should the Reds be improved and a possible contender? Yes. Are the Cardinals weak? NO!!!!

Just a tip MG.
In the future if you plan to give us a sure thing please do it before the start of the season so us gamblers on the board can get our bets down.
I hate it when the experts give tips after the betting window closes.
Ok. first of all Ned (Ned is your name..that is funny in itself) let me guess you are a Cardinals fan. The Cardinals are about as fake as Mark Mcgwire's records. Just because I dont post alot loses all credibilty. That makes sense smart guy. I have been reading the forum for over a year and would guarantee that I know more have been to more Tiger related stuff than you.

up 5-3 in the 6th. Griffey 3-4. Can you say MVP

If you would read my post carefully I did not dismiss your views because of your lack of posts I welcome levity to the board and yours was right up there with the best of em :laugh:

I do not want you to get discouraged because of this one misguided post, If you do not want to be marginalized as only a
funny guy, stick to stuff you know like Tiger athletics, I guess we should all sit back and get a fw lessons from the expert since you
"guarantee that I know more have been to more Tiger related stuff than you "
I think you are trying to say that you have been to more games than me and that is possible I have only been able to make it to five or six games so far,
I look forward to seeing more of your post on here I just hope that some are serious so that I can learn a lot about Tiger athletics. :wave:

Clearing up previous post
Cardinal fan just not happy losing Renteria and Womack. also still worry about Isringhausen as consistent closer. Molina is going to bean all star soon.

I'm not happy with losing them, but I think we are going to be fine up the middle.
Yadier will never be an allstar for his bat, but he may become one of the finest defensive catchers in the league. And it doesn't hurt that the pitchers love throwing to him.
Molina will become more consitent at the plate as soon as he stops trying to pull every pitch. LaRussa said he's been working very hard in practice to start using the whole field. All Star soon.

Is Dunn gonna hit three homers a game? Because that's what it's gonna take to win with that sorry excuse for a pitching staff.
I pretty much ignore sports after the NCAA basketball tournament until the football camps open in late July.
Baseball is just so totally and mindnumbing boring.
How many things could be wrong with one sport? There is not a salary cap, so teams like the Yankees simply go out each year and try to buy another championship. All of the players are grossly overpaid prima donnas. The steroid issue dominates and has watered down the HR records many of these buffoons are "shattering". There are no dominant pitchers; a great starter now goes seven innings. The umpiring is inconsistent at best; has anyone really looked at what the official strike zone is? The players themselves are hardly "athletic" since they basically spend 75% of each game standing around between pitches. A "superstar" hitter is one who is successful 30% (.300 batting average) of the time.
No, thank you - baseball can choke on its own alleged greatness as America's pastime. I'll focus on yardwork and summer vacation planning.
boss man Wrote:Baseball is just so totally and mindnumbing boring.
It's no more boring than any other sport. No more boring than, say, the Louisiana Tech game was. Or most of the Tulane football game.
Quote:How many things could be wrong with one sport? There is not a salary cap, so teams like the Yankees simply go out each year and try to buy another championship.
As opposed to, say, the Lakers, Mavericks, Knicks, Redskins, or Raiders trying to buy a championship?
Quote:All of the players are grossly overpaid prima donnas.
And college athletes aren't prima donnas? Or NFL players aren't overpaid?
Quote:The steroid issue dominates and has watered down the HR records many of these buffoons are "shattering".
Yet football, with 320-pound players considered undersized, has no steroid problem. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
Quote: There are no dominant pitchers; a great starter now goes seven innings.
Great starters go 7 innings because the level of play has gone up so much...in the past, pitchers would let up on the 7-8-9 hitters. Now, everybody can hit, and they're pinch-hitting for the pitchers more than they used to.
Quote:The umpiring is inconsistent at best; has anyone really looked at what the official strike zone is?
ALL officiating is inconsistent at best. Has anyone really looked at what official holding or pass interference or "not carrying the ball" is?
Quote:The players themselves are hardly "athletic" since they basically spend 75% of each game standing around between pitches.
They aren't athletic? Have you seen, say, Ichiro running down a ball in the gap or trying to stretch a double to a triple? And it's funny you mention the 75% of the game standing around thing...if you actually put a stopwatch on it, you'd find football players spend more time standing around during the games than baseball players.
ESPECIALLY in the NFL.
Quote:A "superstar" hitter is one who is successful 30% (.300 batting average) of the time.
And a "superstar" football player is one who scores 15 times in a season.
Dominant Pitchers?
maybe not dominant like Koufax, Ryan or Young, but there are still many great pitchers; try Randy Johnson (2.60 ERA), Roger Clemons (18-4, 2.98 ERA), Johan Santana (20-6, 2.61 ERA), Curt Shilling (21-6, 3.26 ERA), Carl Pavano (18-8, 3.00 ERA)...wasn't the most 20 game winners ever, not the lowest ERA's ever, but there still are very great pichers and very consistent pitchers playing in the Majors.
Umpiring?
okay, so i'll give you that one, although...
strike zone?
most consistent calling ever (?) according to ESPN thanks to K-Zone (MLB uses a version in 9 parks right now to judge umpiring calls) and the new MLB rule for fair calls, last year.
Athletes?
probably never played baseball did ya? I'd say it's the hardest sport to play, yes there's more players than any other professional league, but that's b/c it's a "global" sport. there are more two-sport (hs and college) athletes in MLB than any other major league sport. ever tried chasing down a fly ball covering 120 ft. of grass? not easy. ever tried hitting a baseball, something that every single sport "expert" and "professional" say may be the single hardest activity in sports to do? not a cake walk. why didn't Bo or Deion continue baseball? b/c the 162 game schedule was too grueling and it consisted of more than just being fast or having "good" hands, those were two of the greatest athletes of all-time.
.300 hitting?
Ty Cobb only hit .367 lifetime, Ted Williams hit .344, Babe hit .342 and these are some of the greatest players of all-time. There's only 130 players lifetime to hit an average of .300...and these are among the greatest to ever play. It's not easy, that's like throwing an 80% pass completion lifetime, or shooting 70% from the field lifetime...it's not easy, it's considered the hardest single activity in sports to accomplish. Even an 85 mph fastball is faster than it sounds, a knuckleball dumbfounds the best baseballers in the world and a slider, curve, sinker or some of the most wicked creations for ever throwing a ball. There are currently 10 players that have hit for lifetime .300 or better and I would say all of them play better baseball and are better athletes than anyone on this board or anyone any of us know personally.
Not really jumping on your case bossman, but don't come on a baseball thread and just bash America's pastime, especially when others get thrashed for coming onto other threads and just flaunting negative comments around. Baseball may be boring to you and that's fine, it's your opinion and thank God it's a free world (well, at least country). Sure baseball could benefit from a salary cap. Yes the Yanks do spend a lot of money, but have only won 2 of their 26 as baseball's top payrollers (3 more under George without being that either)...free agency and boom of baseball popularity is what has exploded player pay, not the Yanks.
More people watch baseball than any other American sport, no American sport is older than baseball, baseball has withstood the test of time and is still around and being played basically the same way it's always been...not football, hockey or basketball can claim that. outside of the soccer boom, no sport is played by more Americans than baseball. Baseball will be and still is America's pastime...it's were we turn in history to rekindle old memories, it's like America's historical note card.
Needless to say, don't knock it, especially if you've never played it (and maybe you had and weren't good, or didn't like it, whatever) and just hate the sport. I hate hockey, cricket, bowling, pool, poker (the last three astonishes me that they're played on ESPN), but I don't go around bashing them on people's threads to just get my two cents in! I'm not really attacking you, just pointing out some misguided or misconceived notions.

Bo didn't continue baseball because he got hurt in FOOTBALL. Deion didn't continue because he was not a team player and wouldn't take a demotion when somebody better came up through the Braves system. So neither of the quit because the 162 games schedule was too rough. How come hardly any baseball players make 162 games if they are so darn tough.
What about Brian Jordan, he still plays baseball and had to quit football because he couldn't cut it.
If you think there is more activity in baseball than football, you are nuts! Try watching the right fielder in a baseball game for the whole 9 innings.
Compare trying to run down 120 ft fly ball, with a 50 yard (not a math wiz, but wouldn't that be 150+ ft) bomb. Most WR in football routinely run 15-20 yard decoys.
I used to be a Brave's fan, and that was back when I would watch games with my friend after work and we would have a celebration every time they won a game, which wasn't ofter because they were the worst team in baseball.
I can't stand the sport. Don't like most pro sports now anyway, but baseball tops the list. The national game IS football, followed closely by basketball. Baseball does lead the NHL, so don't think ya'll are in last place. And if it were a sport, which IT IS NOT, NASCAR would make baseball fourth on the list.
Last, but not least, most experts would know that soccer would be the most physically demanding team sport.

I'm probably the only Reds fan on this board and so it's from the bottom of my heart that I urge you to please stop using whatever drug you're on. I hope Cincy stays on the right track but the Reds goal right now is to make the play-offs. That would be a victory right now.
The Cards are still the favorite out of the NL. While not my favorite team I am fond of the boys in St. Louis and I do wish them well. ( unless they're up against my Reds of course) They're a fun team to watch/ listen to.

If there's ever been a suprise team, it's been the White Sox. sure they've had great pitching in Garland, Buehrle (sp?) and Garcia (additions of El Duque and Contreras are looking good and making the Yanks look retarded, bye bye Cashman), but seriously. Konercko, Dye and Pierzynski are pretty good bats, but they're not a stud line-up or all-star loaded. Just good sound defensive baseball with just enough punch to win games. Who would have thunk it?

Tigernole79, thanks for providing the explanation about Bo and Deion.
Yeah, baseball is
so-o-o-o much much physically demanding than that sissy football. That's why baseball plays 162 games a year and football 16.
Baseball is definitely ahead of the NHL. But I believe the NHL didn't play this year!
You're right about soccer being probably the most physically demanding team sport. Constant running. I suppose tennis or a marathon is the most demanding individual sport.

I used the Yankees as the prime example since it is obvious they simply go out and purchase whoever they need for yet another run at a championship.
Baseball is a boom in the summer since there is essentially no competition for the sports dollar. If the NFL or college basketball were played in summer, baseball would be lower than their current 4th ranking (see TigerNole79 comments).
Quote:More people watch baseball than any other American sport,
162 baseball games x 34 teams.
16 football games x 32 teams.
82 basketball games x 30 teams.
You're probably right interms of actual attendees at games.
Yet the NFL draws the most TV viewership and the network bids for those games are prolific indeed. I wonder why?
Quote:no American sport is older than baseball, baseball has withstood the test of time and is still around and being played basically the same way it's always been...not football, hockey or basketball can claim that.
I'm not debating baseball isn't a valid sport! Sure it's been here for a while. But do you think Abner Doubleday envisioned designated hitters, an all-star game determining the championship home field advantage, the mound being lowered, night games, and expansion of the season from 144 games to 162 games?
Quote:outside of the soccer boom, no sport is played by more Americans than baseball.
Because it is so easy and not so physically demanding as football, hockey, basketball, volleyball, etc. Softball evolved from baseball and I would bet nearly everyone has played in a softball game or league. Don't forget whiffleball and corkball.
Quote:Baseball will be and still is America's pastime...it's were we turn in history to rekindle old memories, it's like America's historical note card.
It is a legit sport, but it is being replaced by football as the national sport. We look back at baseball with fondness, like we do the Studebaker. It is simply being replaced by a better product.

I hate those sports, too. Especially "poker". I also hate racing (humans, cars, horses), golf (more boring than baseball), and track & field events.
Sorry if you perceive my comments as bashing. I was just giving my honest opinion. I guess I would be shot if I lived in Cuba (which has a fairly competitve baseball program itself).
