Love how Sportscenter is openly making fun of the MLB for their scheduling and admitting that they had no clue that the first game of the regular season was today. :lol

Yeah but McCourt presents is not good. Fuck him.

That's encouraging for Doyer fans at least. Looks like Josh Hamilton found a new team.

Fixed brah. da A's begin their campaign today for the second wildcard. So this is how baseball begins, with thunderous applause.

You can add Hamels to that as well.

I'm kinda disappointed that the graphic doesn't have you in the expos with the title of "that guy that says brah all the time"

I approve of this thread.

Grapefruit League 2012 Champions here we come!

Really no surprise that Magic and co won the bidding. The way he is so politically connected in LA makes it a no brainer. This is great news for doyer fans. About time an Angelino owns this team.

McCourt is no longer the owner? Happy days are here at last!!! I havent been rooting for the team since the O'Malleys owned the team but I'm very excited.

Nolan Ryan has done a good job running the Rangers. Maybe Magic can be the Dodgers Nolan Ryan.

Most of the credit for the Rangers should go to Jon daniels and his guys (AJ Preller and Thad Levine) Remarkable that they've only had one major guy leave.

Sanjuro Tsubaki, please add me to the representation to Marlins-GAF. Never underestimate the power of the fish. You all may be laughing at our admittedly dumb home run contraption at the new stadium, but I'll see you all at the World Series victory celebration with my man Ozzie.

I'm so hyped. Josh Johnson starts his Cy Young year... now!

Hopefully he hires knowledgeable baseball people who can help him spend his money.

You can't win the Cy Young on the DL.

Yeah, that's absolutely nutty that the 2 billion doesn't include the parking lots. I figured the added value of that land was a major factor to the price.

Live on MLB.tv? Fuck it, might as well order now(and regret it when the free subscription deal come around). No more shitty streams, I need my HD.

Please post any good mlb.tv deals here peeps, I had to go cold turkey last year and it sucked :/

They are going to sign a HUGE TV deal in the near future so that probably had something to do with it.
