Yep, in fact this year is the first year MLB: The Show will have sucky Jason Bay. The last two years he was living off his Red Sox tenure.

I simmed a Mets/Mariners game on MLB 12 this week. Bay hit a grand slam off Johan. GG

The truly sad thing is, despite just how fucking awful Bay was in his time with the Mets, I could totally see this actually happening, just because we're the fucking Mets.

 

[CygnusXS]

Seems I'm going to San Diego in June to watch a couple Braves games in person. It's a birthday gift from my girlfriend. So awesome. Going to be sitting in section 115.

 

[Lambtron]

Since when did Joe Mauer play for the Red Sox?

According to many national scribes, he should be playing for them this year.

Fuck off. He's mine.

I'd like to take this opportunity to wish Blearth all the best in his future endeavors...

Oh yeah Mets-GAF is going into this season with tons of hope!

Let me tell you something, my friend. Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane. It's got no place here. Better get used to the idea.

Gotta give the Astros some love, some how.

 

[Booties]

Gotta love it when Manny makes the news.

[Mr. Enigma]

Someone stole the Italian Sausage costume that is used during the sausage race at Miller Park

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Zack Wheeler was stratched from start today dut to strained oblique. Not deemed serious and should make his next start.

 

[jakncoke]

lol at greinke rather more a lil more money than be a winner.

 

[jakncoke]

Another update for those like me, who are pumped for MLB '13.

Wonder where Neil Walker is on the list. So weird seeing harahan and under Red Sox.

Edit; you people dont post fast enough

 

[McNei1y]

Sun Life Stadium but no RFK? Horse shit!

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Damnit you spelled Cain's name wrong. This isn't wrestling.

 

[The Awesomest]

Fear the Mariners, please

 

[The Frankman]

Damnit you spelled Cain's name wrong. This isn't wrestling.

Must not be wrestling, he spelled that name wrong also.

 

[rando14]

Holy shit, Noesi pitched an inning without giving up a run

 

[cashman]

Rangers still haven't won a spring training game.

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Must not be wrestling, he spelled that name wrong also.

? I must be dumb I don't get this.

 

[Sanjuro]

Ball on the right wrist for Middlebrooks. Taken out immediately. Doesn't look good.

Broken wrist is never a good thing. My brother's a Red Sox fan and he's pretty excited about this guy. Shame.

Sun Life Stadium is a classic stadium now?

? I must be dumb I don't get this.

Kane

 

[chuckddd]

The house Dan Marino built.

 

[Zep]

Goddamn right it is!

 

[Macattk15]

Fear the Mariners, please

Most homeruns in ST!

Only thing I'm excited about so far is Smoak actually carrying what he worked on last September into this Spring Training so far. Same approach which was effective for him on the left side of the plate.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Glad to see you back Brandon McCarthy. Towers needs you brah.

 

[BFIB]

Damnit you spelled Cain's name wrong. This isn't wrestling.

Ha, just noticed. I copied the list from OperationSports' website.

Fixed for accuracy.

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. See I haven't watched wrestling in years..... *more excuses*.

 

[BFIB]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. See I haven't watched wrestling in years..... *more excuses*.

You'd love Cena.

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

You'd love Cena.

I know enough to say this: Fuck you!!!

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

oh shit, for The Show lovers. Road to the Show now has an option that allows you to press a button to catch the ball. Also, gone is the ball cursor. Now, an arrow comes on screen like a FPS. Theres a ball trail, kinda like ESPN HR derby. looks really good.

 

[BFIB]

I know enough to say this: Fuck you!!!

Come join wrasslegaf, you'll fit right in with the rest of us.

BTW, I have a question for Florida-Gaf:

Before the Marlins, did people in Florida just support the team that played in their town during Spring Training?

 

[Dre3001]

BTW, I have a question for Florida-Gaf:

From what I have seen most people in Florida are from another place (Northeast usually) and just support those teams (Cardinals, Yankees, Red Sox, etc)

The people I know born and raised in FL just bandwagon a random team not necessarily their town's spring training team.

I am on the Smoakamotive. Who is with me?

 

[Dre3001]

I said usually

I know tons of Cardinal fans in FL who are from St. Louis.

But its no secret FL is packed with Yankee and Red Sox fans.

Anytime they play the Rays it is almost like a home game for them instead of the Rays

I cant believe it cost 3k

 

[Corran Horn]

Tempted to wait this year out on The Show since Ill be getting PS4 & etc later this year. Plus I barely even played that much of last year :/ Just our makeshift league that barely lasted.

 

[RBH]

Goddamn right it is!

I'm originally from Brooklyn, so I'm a Mets fan, but my friend who was born down here is a Braves fan since they were the closest team back then.

 

[The Awesomest]

What do we do if Peguero actually develops into a good player?

 

[cashman]

Joe Mauer's wife Maddie is pregnant with twins. Of course.
