MLB 2012 Thread
 
Some 2012 threads for indivdual teams up already, but this one can be for all things baseball, or for teams without as many fans as the Yankees.

Bad news right off the bat for my Detroit Tigers....Victor Martinez expected to miss most of the season after tearing his ACL during off-season conditioning.

The big question for me and all of Pittsburgh is......

Can the Pirates finally have a winning season! That's all we want as far as baseball is concerned!!!! It's been 19 consecutive years of losing!!! Just one season over .500 please!!!

The people of Pittsburgh deserve winning baseball again! Hopefully this will be the year!

We'll see who the Rangers get tomorrow....Prince Fielder or Yu Darvish.

The Reds have made some awesome moves this offseason by signing Mat Latos, Sean Marshall, and Ryan Madson. I am expecting big things from them this year.

Sox could be in the hunt for two of Cuba's top players, Cespedes and Soler. With the White Sox history with Cuban players, those two players know how good Chicago is towards the Island natives. Plus we have Dayan Viciedo and the Cuban Missile Alexei Ramirez campaigning for us. And let's not forget 2005 and the great Cuban players that won the Championship:D
Man I would die to get those two players on the South Side.

We're still realistically a year away from competing, but it'll be fun watching the young guys continue to grow. Plus, Kansas City is hosting the All-Star game, so there's a level of excitement here for baseball that I haven't seen in a few years. Go Royals!

I love this picture. Any other city have all 4 major Championships in the past 30 or so years? And Sir Jerry is in a league of his own. Bulls and Sox. Nuff said.

Boston has won all 4 in the past 10 years :)

Waiting to see what the Tigers decide to do with Martinez being out. That bat will be hard to replace. Getting a healthy Boesch back will help.

You could argue the Pats. I really don't see them as a part of Boston. Isn't Foxboro a good 45 mins south of Boston? I guess that's close enough for Boston to take claims:r

Dallas is next to win all 4. Just need the Rangers to get over the hump, so to speak. Great chance to do that this year.

I was gonna say, as much as I'd like to, how could one forget about Bahston?

Somebody told me they were looking at acquiring Alfonso Soriano.

Please, God, no. :hn

Whenever my fiancé and I go to the ballpark, we play this cute little game that helps keep her interested. I kiss her on the strikes and she kisses me on the balls.

Likewise with the Nats. Okay, so we don't have 19 years, but... We had some promise with Frank Robinson, and then Dumbass Riggleman.

Looks like we have some promise in this season, coming, though! GO NATS!
