MLB 2016

It's risk free really.

A gimmick, parodying the Jets really if you like, Tebow nation in town.

Will be interesting to see how he develops. I'm sure it'll sell a few jerseys either way.

WELL THEN....

0.5 behind the Giants.
0.5 up on the Cards

Braves x 6
Phillies x 7
Marlins x 6
Nats x 6
Twins x 3

The Nats will be tricky, the braves are doing alright again (alright loosely).

Phillies, Marlins and Twins are wayward, huge chance for the mets to crack on!

100/1 I got the 3 weeks ago.

Let's go Mets.

Bar the Indians, I don't think there's a team I want to win the World Series more than the Cubbies.

Eamus catuli. Now to clinch home advantage against the Nats.

So is it our year mate? Can I dare believe again??!!

I'd like to avoid the Dodgers and hopefully let the Nats take care of them in the NLDS so home advantage is a must. Looking like a Giants - Mets Wild Card atm and while neither would be easy opponents we do owe the Mets from last year

 

[barneygumble]

Yes big sexy!

14 wins by Bartolo! Hero.

Cards-Giants series couldn't have came at a better time as we face the worst team in baseball.. the twins.

Always believe, never expect. Que sera, sera...

 

[barneygumble]

Big effort from relief last night pitch 7 Innings.

Big win, and crucially.

1 game up on the Giants, 1.5 on the Cards.

Absolutely awful news this morning, 24 year old Marlins ace pitcher Jose Fernandez has died.

Just coming here to post it, mate. Horrible news, so young and so much promise. Devastating, really.

R.I.P.

One of my favourites players to watch and had an amazing story about defecting to America.

He will be sorely missed.

Grampa Rossy just hit his tenth home run. About the first time I've smiled all day.

This Jose thing really got to me, I've got to tell you. They ran into an unlit jetty before dawn in a speedboat.

So sad. So very, very sad.

Ugh. Just an awful tragedy. Fella seemed to have everything going for him. One of the best pitchers of all-time at his age, child on the way. Glad I got to see him pitch once in-person. Electric.

All Marlins players will wear 16 against the Mets tonight and the number will be retired at some point by the Marlins.



Rest easy Jose.
