If you're gonna get this thread stickied, you're gonna have to beat the Hockey thread. And there's a pack of NHL nuts 15 threads from where I'm standin' right now that are gonna have a little somethin' to say about you takin' care of business. But we're gonna get stickied.
Now, if you wanna get stickied, you're gonna have to beat a team of canadians, a team of moderators and admins over in Vancouver that outweigh you by about 30 pounds a man. And they will run you over -- I guarantee ya.
Now, Canuck fans, they'll take your homes. They'll burn 'em down. They'll eat your dogs. Canuck fans will wreck you -- and that's a fact.
It's a good day, gentlemen. It's a good day to think about responsibility.
It's a good day to ask yourself a couple of questions.
It's a good day, gentlemen, to ask yourselves if, on a personal level, you're willin' to accept that.
If you're willin' to accept the responsibility you have to protect this post, this thread, and this League. And make no mistake about it gentlemen, we are in the business of winning. We are in the business of protectin' this thread.
The expectations couldn't be any higher: We will get this thread stickied.
This is real sincere warfare.
Can you be perfect?
Let's play ball!

Quick Predictions:
Defending World Series Champions Chicago White Sox win the Central again
Defending National League Champions Houston Astros will once again make the playoffs, whether winning the Central or Wild Card has yet to be determined.
Defending NL East champions Atlanta Braves will once again with the East.
Boston Red Sox will finally win the AL East, Yankees take the Wildcard
Seattle Mariners turn it around and get back into the post season, that leaves...
2 spots open. Will the St Louis Cardinals, once again beat the Astros senseless in the regular season? I'm thinking that they will fall off, not have as dominant a season, but probably still edge the Astros out by a few games for the NL Central.
That leaves, the National League West, or the National League Worst, as they are so affectionately known throughout the league.
Padres? Giants? Dodgers? Diamondbacks? Rockies?
Jeez, I think I'll have to take the Dodgers at around 85-77
In Summary:
Astros | Cardinals | Dodgers | Braves
White Sox | Red Sox | Yankees | Mariners
For all of you going to opening day for your teams, I WANT PICTURES! I'll probably be doing a little writeup and I want pictures from a ton of stadiums to see how all the opening day crowds look.
We will not go quietly into the night!
We will not vanish without a fight!
We're going to live on!
We're going to survive!"
Today, we celebrate our OPENING DAY!
