A.L. Central Smack Talk 2014

[gvsulaker82]

I dont think anyone is hating on vmart, jus his contract. Last year was an anomaly for him, he wont br producing those power numbers again, just like 2013 was an anomaly for max and someones going to deeply regret shelling out 150 mil for him.

I guess I've never understood why Michigan & Michigan St. fans hate the other team, I like all teams Minnesota, if the Gophers play St. Cloud St. in Hockey I want the Gophers to win but I still want St Cloud to beat North Dakota and Wisconsin or any other out of state team...

I think in general we work the same way.(just don't always admit it. Hell, I like every team but the WSs in the Central.) Only Sparties can't shake their little bro mentality or all those losses to the Chippewas all those times in football. So they be all jelly of my Broncos and their current 5 game winning streak. (Big rivalry game up in Mt. P this weekend.)

That's my guess anyways.

Yo laker, you worried that team might be us?

I do expect V-Mart's power numbers to regress (his HR/FB rate was way out of line with the rest of his career), but I don't think there will be much of a real dropoff in his average, if at all. He had a very maintainable .316 BABIP (in line with his career .316 average) and he doesn't strikeout at all. FWIW, Steamer projects him to bat around .309/.376/.486 with a 139 wRC+.

Stafford stinks. Dougy's been awfully quiet.

yes. leading team to a 7-3 record stinks. beating the packers stinks to.....

losing to the cardinals.. you can say Stafford stunk that day.no arguments.
but....when he breaks one of in the patriots in there own house......you must then bow down to Stafford!

look for a laser throw into the end zone for the win from Stafford. cardiac cats get back to winning.

Although hockey is prolly goin for shock value with that prediction I can't say I disagree. I could easily see something like 34 - 17 The game will still be more fun to watch than the Pack beating the Vikes 38 - 10

You talking about the 23rd-rated QB in the NFL? Ugh.

 

[Howie115]

Trout deserved mvp, what are you talking about? Guy was by far the best position player in all of baseball last year.

36 bombs, a league-leading 111 RBI, and great defense were enough to win it. It's still a bit surprising that he was a unanimous choice when he hit a career-low .287, had a career-low 16 SB, and struck out a league-leading 183 times.

.287 you say?
league leading 183Ks you say??
how MVP was he? did he carry his team to a ring? NO.
did he get them to the WS? NO

HOW ABOUT ALCS? NO again.

did they win a play off game?? tell me again how valuable he was

 

[dougplayer]

Pats by 17

hatin at its best.
guess you didn't hear about the starting RB for the PATS. he slept in and was late to practice.bilicki says he wont play..that loser RB the steelers cut and the PATS just signed..blount..will get the carrys...love it.

LIONS defense holds brady under 30 points........can the lions score? maybe if we remind Stafford to throw the ball to calvin.....he forgets some times.THROW TO CALVIN!!!

I see it 24 24. 2 minutes left....Stafford drives the lions to the 31 yard lines. the newest piece of shit kicker hits the right up right...to bounces over to the left up right...then falls in for a lions win! lions 27 pats 24. golden tate plsyer of the game!

I wonder how many times we will have to tell you dougie, MVP is a regular season award.

 

[dougplayer]

yes. not making play offs makes him so valuable. its all anout july august and septrmber...not October for Him.

The Angels didn't make the playoffs?

 

[dougplayer]

oh yeah..they just didn't last long...how many hits did trout have? 2?

 

[mr.hockey4242]

And if you don't mind me asking dummy...Who do you suggest should have won MVP?

Hopefully not one of those Tigers, we know how they fail come October real well.

 

[dougplayer]
