2007 Baseball Season: Hopes and Expectations.

It's that time of the year again, the time when the weather gets warmer, the grass grows green again, and the wind picks up. And of course, when baseball kicks in.

Personally, I feel that last year wasn't too bad in terms of baseball, you had some amazing teams from each division show their stuff and some amazing players. Of course, me being a Cards fan, the last baseball season was epic, even though Pujols was out for some of the summer games, which cause some major losses.

My expectation for the Cards this year is that we get another World Series title in our belt, despite the fact that we are changing pitchers and Jim Edmonds recovering from an off-season injury. I feel though, that a lot more emphasis needs to be placed on Taguchi, as he was the real underdog of the team last year, despite the fact that he was a damn good out feilder. I think that we should have him out for for out feild, rather than so much.

Anyway, discuss.

I think the Jays will be very successful (contrary to their success pre-season) and possibly finish first in the AL East, or make a Wild Card.They have a pretty well rounded team with amazing all-stars, i.e. Roy Halladay, Vernon Wells, etc. So its the Jays for me... mostly because I'm from Toronto.

The Reds sound like they are a much improved team. I will look forward to them beating the Cards, Cubs, and Giants plenty of times this year.

Not expecting a title or anything, but I think the playoffs are definitely in reach.

I hope the Astros do well

Yankees all the way! 1st game is tomorrow WOOT

Speaking of which, the Mets beat us tonight 5-1 in our opening game. Though the new guy we had, Adam Kennedy started off his new carrear pretty well.

I think the red sox have the best chance of taking the east this year. We are now more well-rounded than years past, and our starting rotation is to die for. We now have a decent bullpen, a fantastic closer, and a well-rounded lineup of OBP and Power. And we have Big Papi, *****es.

I'm super pumped about baseball season this year.

To make things better, we're kicking the Cubs ass 5-1 in the 9th...eat it Asci, I have a feeling you will be doing a lot of it this year (like every year...)

I expect another lame year in the world of Baseball...but hey, it's better than curling by a little bit.

Do you even watch Baseball, or play it for that matter?

Anyway, it's good to know you're kicking the Cubs ass, Kaz. Our Cards should win by tommrow. Sunday was bleh. =/

I used to play Baseball. And if I dislike it...then why would I watch it?

I dunno, you were saying last year was bad, when it was actually pretty good, in my opinion. Or is that becasue you're from Michigan that it was bad?

No I said every season is bad, because I dislike watching baseball lol. I didn't really care about the Tigers...if anything I was surprised they did anything.

Ah, it's understandable. I work at a baseball stadium and sometimes the games will get boring. Watching it live is a different story though, ya know?

Yeah of course, watching anything on TV is nothing when compared to the real thing...*cough*.

I still have hope for the Cubs. But then again the new Nat's stadium looks nice.

You get way too confident over a opening day victory. I can't wait to see the Cubs be in first or at least second place this season. then the Reds in 3-4th place, the medicore place where they belong.

I see the NL central very winnable for the Cubs. We have possibly one of the best rotations, Zambrano got off to a rusty start in the opener as usual but he'll do much better soon. I'm expecting alot from the offense as well with Alfonso Soriano. Why not? Go Cubs!
Ha, White Sox lost! That always gives me a good feeling.

I'm a die-hard Cards fan, and I hope they do well again this year. Last year was a dream come true! They're starting off a little rusty, but I think they'll be ok. Pujols' two home runs yesterday were AWESOME! Long live the Redbirds!!

Oh yah, truly that was Pujols coming back after the Mets decided to screw around with us.

Anyway, we sucked today agaisnt the Pirates. We lost 3-2 and half of the time, the outfeilders and even Eckstein couldn't catch the damn ball most of the time. I pray they do better tommrow.

Well, it's halfway through the first month of the season, and I must say, I like the way the Red Sox are looking. Beckett looks amazing, Schilling is being Schilling, and Wakefield is just nuts. Matsuzaka looks awesome even if his record doesn't show it. Papelbon is crazy out of the pen and that's just the pitching.

The offense looks good and such. However, if I know the Sox like I know them... it's just a matter of time until collapse. :XD

However, it was nice to see a no-hitter today.
