Pre-season power rankings for baseball.

[azmouse]

Notice my Dbacks are #2 in the NL and #9 overall! Yesss!! :woohoo:

Damn! I am soooo ready for baseball.

[bigwillq]

1. Oh yeah, look who's No. 1!

:bounce:

Now, they need to finish the job this year! :bounce:

[azmouse]

2. I'd love to see a match up between #1 and #9 again...

With the same results as in 2001! :P


Play Ball!!!

[AllegroRondo]

3. Brewers at #18?

Ouch. they even ranked behind the Cubs!

[azmouse]

5. Too many former Dbacks, perhaps?

Yeah, it's really too soon to know what'll happen. But damn, I'm just starved for baseball right now so anything will do to have an excuse to talk about it.

[AllegroRondo]

24. I was amazed when they pulled that trade

but its worked out pretty well for them so far.

[Mojambo]

4. It's really hard to take Dayn Perry seriously

The guy is a serious hack.

He's got the M's pegged about right at 24 though.

[azmouse]

7. It'd be interesting to look back at these rankings in Sept.

I bet not one of them is correct.

[CatholicEdHead]

6. Twins are #7 overall

Though still rated 4th in the AL Central.

[Mojambo]

8. That division is a meatgrinder.

They are going to feast on the bloody entrails of the weak west.

[LynneSin]

9. The season hasn't started and my Reds are already stastically eliminated

:cry:

[azmouse]

11. And you'll have Thom Brennaman

as your new announcer. You're gonna hear 'Goodness gracious' from him sooo many times you'll actually begin to dislike the guy. I'm so sorry!

[LynneSin]

12. I only watch them when they're on TV - I live in the Philly market

I just happen to be a Reds fan

[azmouse]

15. That's gotta be tough.

I'd go crazy if I couldn't watch my team.

[LynneSin]

18. I use to be like that until all the strikes & steroids

Now it doesn't phase me anymore

[Reverend_Smitty]

10. less than 4 days til pitcher and catchers report

and my Mets are listed as the class of the NL!

[azmouse]

13. I wonder if my team can finally ever beat your team.

I hope Webb or Johnson are pitching every time. Then the Dbacks may have a slight chance. They just don't seem to do well against the Mets. :shrug: Of course, the last few years they haven't done very well against anyone.

[Reverend_Smitty]

20. That Brandon Webb kid is going to be really good

I know last year when we played you it was right in the middle of that west coast winning streak when it didn't seem like we'd ever lose a ballgame but that was also right in the middle of that Jason Grimsley mess too.

[azmouse]

22. That was really the beginning of the end

for the '06 season. The Dbacks could just never recover.

Webb is gonna be a blast to watch for many years to come. He's just getting warmed up!

Good luck to your Mets this year! :hi:

[Reverend_Smitty]

25. Good luck to the DBacks...

The NL West should be an interesting division to watch this year. The last few years it always seems like they go right down to the wire for the division title

[Oeditpus Rex]

14. Never wager anything valuable

based on pre-season predictions, no matter how many SABR numbers are behind 'em.

Waaaaaayyy too much stuff can happen over 162 games.

[azmouse]

17. I don't wager anything EVER!

Considering the way the Dbacks have fallen apart during the season the last few years.... no way!

[SeattleGirl]

16. My Mariners are #24. I'm not surprised.

[azmouse]

19. They play their ST games just 5 mi from where I live.

I wish I had someone to go those games with. It would be fun to see some different teams so close to home.
Mr azmouse doesn't like baseball much so he won't go. :(

[SeattleGirl]

21. I'd sure go if I could.

Never been to spring training, but understand it's just a blast.

[azmouse]

23. Yep. The atmosphere is more casual

and you can usually get closer to the players for pics and autographs if that is your kinda thing!
And everyone is just so happy to have baseball back again for another season!

[dannofoot]

26. Yowza! Look at the Tribe's ranking!

We're Number 2, we're number 2!


Plaaaaay Baaaalllllll!

[Broken_Hero]

27. Yay!

My Mariners are ranked 24th, yay! We suck again...wait, we still suck! Yay! Lets get a damn pitching rotation please...and if you need to trade Ichiro to do it, just do it and get it over with...
