Got to ask Sanjuro to update it brah. I just copy pasted it,

 

[Macattk15]

The fuck?

The Marlins still have a FAN?

 

[Fenix]

Hey guys, remember to overreact to hot/cold streaks by your favourite player during spring and/or the first month of the season.

OR: calm yourself by listening to the small sample size song.

Hey, if bob is hanging tough despite the Cubs' appalling mediocrity, Marlins fans will survive their owner burning down the organization from the inside out.

Ketchup + mustard, btw. Makes for a nice sweet and spicy kick. The trick is to lighten the ketchup. Too much will overpower the rest of the ingredients.

 

[Hasenfeffer]

Finally. Fuck this winter and give me America's REAL sport!

Also, Josh Hamilton looks like he's eying up a barrel of bourbon off camera there.

 

[harSon]

If you're going to suck Pirates, please do it from the outset! My brittle heart can't take another cock tease.

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Nice Corran. I'll never be good enough to get on that fan team image damnit.

 

[Fox318]

 

[Brinbe]

Great job, Corran!

Unfortunately, I can't make the Jays opener on Tuesday (damn work) but I'm sure as fuck gonna trek down on Wednesday. Def gonna throw down some predicts on Monday, but for now riding with #teamketchup!

 

[Fenix]

SportsNet's got the '93 WS Game 6 on... man I miss Molitor.

Fuck, I still vividly remember watching this game twenty years ago. Six-years-old, back in my old apt on Queen St, lights off, watching under the covers in my old room on this small-ass TV... As awesome as it was, I wish I was at least a little bit older to truly appreciate the enormity of it.

I was six too, still my most vivid memory. Watching in my parents' room because it was so late. They had a 15" RCA TV with mono sound... pretty sure the celebrations blew the speaker.

Edit: I actually got to go to one of the LCS games that year. Still have my "Go Jays Go" sign from the Sun/The Fan 1430. It's signed by Kurt Browning!

 

[darkside31337]

Nice thread. Can't believe the season is already here. Spring Training only felt like it went a good 20 fucking years or so.

Also did they totally jack up MLB.TV by $5? Those bastards.

 

[Fox318]

Will we see the shirts?

 

[dmag1223]

Can't wait! Its been a long offseason.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

[Kuroyume]

I wish this thread was still in the OT. I went from checking it multiple times a day every day to like rarely.

 

[Link]

You'll be hearing from my lawyer.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Corran: Where did you get the exact figure on the Astros 2013 payroll?

 

[Lexxism]

Ah. Can you put me on Jays? Thank you.

 

[Corran Horn]

Corran: Where did you get the exact figure on the Astros 2013 payroll?

Thats just an image from the internet but all the news articles ive read said about 25mill so sounds about right.

 

[Dominican Power]

Put me on The Yankee list.

 

[zychi]

Put me on the Cubs list please :/

I pop in and out but obviously not a big enough regular to keep my name on the list.

 

[Fox318]

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Good job Corran, time for baseball!! Expecting this season to be a great one for many reasons.

 

[KoruptData]

Ill be a regular since im in fantasy and I wont be going to as many games this year. Wife and I saving for a house. Go Reds!

 

[JABEE]

LET'S GO PHILLIES!!!!!!!!!

 

[JABEE]

SportsNet's got the '93 WS Game 6 on... man I miss Molitor.

Dammit! No Bad Vibes!

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

Great OP. i would be excited since I am a Dodgers fan more than anyother team but I expect another $100 mil spending spree before the trade deadline for crap.

 

[Brinbe]

Here it comes... Carter time! =D

 

[JABEE]

Here it comes... Carter time! =D

(((((

 

[JABEE]

A new season means a new beginning for the Phillies. Let's win some baseball games and show everyone that this team isn't over-the-hill. The National League East isn't a two team race. Let's go Jon! Let's go YankeeHater!

We can do this! We can do this!

That guy in the Drexel T-Shirt high-fiving Harry Kalas is Tom Burgoyne, the man who plays the Phanatic.

This video came up when I was looking for a gif! Nice.



Let's GO PHILLIES!

 

[Fenix]

Here it comes... Carter time! =D

As overplayed as the moment is, I always get chills.
