Baseball 2011

[Deathravin]

We have a month or so, but oh well, baseball season is quickly approaching.

Who should you root for?

I'm rooting for 2011 to end quickly so the Marlins move out of Sun Life stadium and the Dolphins and Hurricanes don't have to play on clay for 2 months.

[Deathravin]

I have a soul
I care if my team wins another game
I am not watching to pass the time until football training camp
I don't use sports to distract myself from the drudgery of my horrible life (that's what the heroin is for)
I do not only cheer when the Jumbotron says
It is racist to make a race of people a sports mascot (don't care either way, but I'm aiming here)
I won't punch you if you look at me, don't care.
I am not afraid of very large crowds
I am ashamed to eat sushi at a baseball game, it's dogs and beer and peanuts...
And my favorate tailgate food is hot dish...


Twins!, but I'll wear my Dodgers hat to every game I go to.

[Dyslexia]

Chowda baby!

[Archigeek]

I just hope Justin Morneau finally gets over that concussion. It's a little disturbing that he still isn't 100%. Go Twins!

[EasternBrand]

This flowchart pins me as a Mets fan, which is also true in fact. Good work!

[NocturnalRob]

I will continue suffering as I transfer from NFL (Redskins) to MLB (Orioles).

AT LEAST NOW WE HAVE VLAD!!

I'm sickened by the fact that we're paying Derrek Lee $7.25mm for 1 year of (what will clearly be) sub-par performance.

[Latrinsorm]

This is the year, baby. This is the year we finally get rid of Luis Castillo.

[Yellow00]

Nice flowchart, however, I have no soul. Go Yanks.

[RichardCranium]

Sawks.

[NocturnalRob]

Sawks.
Yew been eatin' fahkin retahded sandwiches again? Sawks sahk.

[RichardCranium]

I don't have a local baseball team. I've followed them since Johnny Damon was Captain Caveman. :(

[Archigeek]

Love the flow chart by the way.

[nichelas]

Love the fact the Twins got mentioned multiple times already... Twinkies all the way this year!!! F'ing Yankees.

Anyone ever organize GS fantasy leagues?

[Keller]

Baseball season - when real sports are in hibernation.

Fuck I hate non-WC summers.

[Drakefang]

My vote for the World Series is Boston vs. Atlanta! I'd root for the Sox but be pleased if the Braves won. Probably makes me a shitty Sox fan, but all that really matters is that the Yanks finish 3rd in the AL East.

[Latrinsorm]

This is the year, baby. This is the year we finally get rid of Luis Castillo.!!!!!!!

He's cut! He's cut! Castillo is cut! :terribly fake "punching" sounds: (http://sports.espn.go.com/new-york/mlb/news/story?id=6232297)

I hope Daniel Murphy gets the job so he can promptly lose it to a sensational prospect a la Ike Davis.

BASEBALL BASEBALL BASEBALL I'm so excited!!

And Castillo is about to sign a minor league deal with the Phillies as insurance for Chase Utley with his injury... fun times. Castillo couldnt be happier im sure.

[coldd]

Padres!...

And Castillo is about to sign a minor league deal with the Phillies as insurance for Chase Utley with his injury... fun times. Castillo couldnt be happier im sure.I'm sure $414k is a low-risk move for a baseball organization, but still. Unless the guy starts mainlining HGH, there's no chance he can contribute. I think it would make more sense to try out a prospect or stick with good ol' Wilson Valdez.

Wait, what am I saying? Great move, Phillies! Play Castillo every day! No rush coming back, Chase!

Yeah I don't see it as a make or break move its just another one of those small moves the phillies make that sometimes turn out very well.

[richerdjohn]

I like baseball games,this is my favorite game.When we are playing this game then me so excited and lot of enjoying during the playing.

[LMingrone]

Stupid flow chart. Someone hates the Yankees too much. Actually, I take that back. I don't believe in souls. Yankees Fans: Making flow charts easy for a century.

This one.

I'd also accept the Cubs finishing dead last as an acceptable outcome to the season.

[Mike]

Pujols = traded by August, and not to a real contender.

He'll be on the Rockies or something, and everyone will wonder why.

[FNLN]

The contents of my thermos is pretty gross. (Come on O's, make it above .500 this year)

They will. Zach Britton is killing it.

[Ayamei]

Go Mets!!!! Why couldn't my dad raise me as a Yankees Fan?

[Latrinsorm]

I never knew carrying a team for years could literally break your back. Poor David!
