Dodgers really do not give a shit about money. I honestly think they canpush a $300 million payroll if they wanted to before having any concerns about money. That TV deal is fucking insane.

It's about to get like that for a lot of teams. Next in line is the Indians. They already started spending in preparation.

 

[Carlbeego]

Fuck the Dodgers tv deal. I hope they spend and spend and spend and never win a world series

I hope they play the Yanks in the series this year and lose.

Would love to hear Vinny call one last series.

I wouldn't even watch it on TV. I would go old school on that ass.

 

[Fox318]

found this over on yahoo sports and thought it was interesting


I didn't realize the white sox actually increased their salary this year let alone that much.

Meanwhile almost 100 million is on the Yankees DL, right?

 

[Sanjuro]

Meanwhile almost 100 million is on the Yankees DL, right?

Don't knock it until you've tried it.

yeah it's crazy... now imagine what happens if they do buy a 300 million team and something happens over the next 15 years and Time Warner Cable goes out of business. That would be an interesting fallout to watch.

Meanwhile almost 100 million is on the Yankees DL, right?

something like that which means the yankees are still fielding a team that is like the 12th most expensive in baseball ><;

 

[Dominican Power]

WTF Rangers?

 

[exarkun]

How the fuck are we still up?

I went to the bar to watch the game, and starting cheering at what I thought was Altuve stealing 2nd. Got laughed at by the rangers fans when everyone realized hed been called out. Then got boo'd again when they showed the supposed outfield catch.

Damn, rangers fans actually caring. Its amazing.

 

[zulux21]

WTF Rangers?

every good team can have a bad day, every bad team can have a good day.

either way it's looking more and more likely I will soon be able to say the astros have the best record in baseball, are in sole possession of first place in the al west and are currently the team to beat

 

[jakncoke]

I hope they play the Yanks in the series this year and lose.

I dont want Yankees winning any world series. If someone like the Rays beat them, that'd be hilarious

 

[perfectchaos007]

That Rangers pitcher is 5'7"

Holy crap he's my height and can pitch 95mph. He will have a rotator cuff injury in a few years if he's throwing that fast with those little arms.

 

[Corran Horn]

Astros #1 in MLB

 

[hemtae]

Oh Rangers. At least you'll always have 2010 and 2011.

 

[rekameohs]

Branduil was right about the Rangers.

 

[Malo]

Astros are too good.

 

[Matrix]

Astros are too good.

no doubt

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Astros bringing that NL swag to the AL!

 

[Sanjuro]

Astros bringing that NL swag to the AL!

More like the NL was keeping them down with their archaic rulebook.

 

[The Frankman]

Why is Erik Bedard pitching? Isn't he the #5 starter?

 

[Fenix]

Why is Erik Bedard pitching? Isn't he the #5 starter?

Early off day so they can skip the #5 spot.

 

[Macattk15]

Man. I'm gonna be so sad if Felix gets lit up tomorrow.

 

[zulux21]

Why is Erik Bedard pitching? Isn't he the #5 starter?

you only get one chance to have your first game after switching leagues be a winner.

 

[Matrix]

1-0

AL welcome your new overlords!

fuck da rangers

 

[Colonel Nasty]

THE BEST TEAM IN BASEBALL!

DISASTROS NO MORE!

 

[Dominican Power]

World Series Champs!

 

[rekameohs]

I for one welcome our new AL West overlords.

 

[Macattk15]

I must say. While the Rangers still have a potent offense ... it does LOOK much less scary without Hamilton.

 

[Fenix]

I must say. While the Rangers still have a potent offense ... it does LOOK much less scary without Hamilton.

And now the Angels offense looks even more wtfscary

 

[jello44]

YEAH!

STROS WIN!

 

[hemtae]

Astros on pace for 162-0.

And some of you losers thought the were going to lose 110+ games.

 

[zulux21]

ooh I didn't even realize that Bedard got the save for his 3.1 innings of work lol.

even more amusing then as I can't recall too many 3 plus inning saves.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

The Astros started 3-1 last year.

 

[harSon]

Man. I'm gonna be so sad if Felix gets lit up tomorrow.

He better suck this year >:|

 

[exarkun]

'Stros gonna do the same thing as last year: win a few nice ones in the beginning, then become appalling bad.

Its still a great ride!

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Astros are going to win the World Series and the world will end.

 

[rekameohs]

Erik Bedard, star closer.

 

[jello44]

Astros are going to win the World Series and the world will end.

No dear, that's if the CUBS win.

 

[The Elite]

Wish they could patch this into The Show.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

No dear, that's if the CUBS win.

Astros - Cubs World Series.

I may need some new underpants for that.

 

[jello44]

Astros - Cubs World Series.

I may need some new underpants for that.

That would cause the world to implode, I think.

 

[Dominican Power]

@Ken_Rosenthal

Sources: Andrus, #Rangers close on eight-year deal, believed to be for $120 million.

[lastflowers]

poor rangers. As much as I like andrus, that's a bunch of money for a long time.

 

[BigJonsson]

Holy shit

The Jays just traded for Jose Reyes, Josh Johnson, Emilio Bonifacio and John Buck

#Couldn'tBelieveItWasn'tAprilFools

[JABEE]

That account is verified too. On April Fools Day right at midnight!

 

[Lathentar]

Go Astros! Great way to start the season. Let's take the series on Tuesday!

 

[rekameohs]

goddamn

Either Ken Roesenthal has become the new @KenRosenthal, or Rangers done goofed.

 

[darkside31337]

Rangers have lost their damn minds.

 

[Malo]

That can't be real. 8 years for $120 million? lol

I thought he was going to be the Yankees' ss, cashman :/

 

[rekameohs]

So Profar+Olt for Stanton is pretty much a formality at this point, right?
