  - the answer is simpler - Danedukenuuk Mar 29, 14:47
- because it's still soccer -- nm - dogbert Mar 29, 14:44 2

  - maybe he hogged all the best strippers for himself -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 29, 14:21 1
    - f'cking Groiny!! -- nm - Epiphany Mar 29, 14:22

- Any chance someone other than the Conservatives wins the election, my friend? - Subversive Mar 29, 14:10 4

        He hadn't changed his pitch sequence in April through August. - David Mar 29, 13:57 10
        
        His ERA for the year was 4.00....how bad was he the first 5 months that September didn't even get him to 3.99? -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 29, 13:58 5
        
        Less than good. - David Mar 29, 14:01 4
        
        Didn't they lose one of those games? -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 29, 14:02 3
        
        That just gives him good company in Braves playoff history. -- nm - David Mar 29, 14:04 2
        
        Have JD put $5 on him in Vegas to win it....if he does, you'll be swimming in cash. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 29, 14:07 1

- Rockies, Giants, Dodgers, Dbacks, Padres (nm) - musubi Mar 29, 14:00
- Rockies then Giants then it gets ugly. -- nm - David Mar 29, 13:43
- Giants, Rockies, Dodgers, Padres, DBacks -- nm - Krusty Mar 29, 13:42
- This is a crapshoot, but I will go Padres, Giants, Dodgers, Rockies, Dbacks. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 29, 13:42

All you people picking the Nats over the Mets, how do you figured the Nats make up 10 games difference from 2010. - musubi Mar 29, 13:40 25
- Well, they're one more year removed from being run by Jim "Leatherpants" Bowden. It only took the Reds 7 years to recover from that. -- nm - Ender Mar 29, 13:44
- Jordan Zimmermann's back, Desmond's growing, Werth is a better all-round player than Dunn... - Will Hunting Mar 29, 13:43
- Your ace is a knuckleballer. - David Mar 29, 13:42 4
  - My faith in RA may be misplaced, but no more so than saying John Lannan is gonna be the stopper in a rotation. (nm) - musubi Mar 29, 13:45 3
    - pfft, you do not read well. - groiny Mar 29, 13:46 2
      - So you think their stopper won't win games? All I'm asking is where their roster improved (or the Mets got worse) that ammounts to a 10 wins. - musubi Mar 29, 13:51 1
        
        they are trending upwards, Mets trend downwards. - groiny Mar 29, 13:55
- John Lannan will lead the team in wins this season. - groiny Mar 29, 13:41 17
  - You think John Lannan is the savior that is gonna lift that squad? - musubi Mar 29, 13:43 13
    - Johan is out.That's a lot of wins off the Mets right there. -- nm - David Mar 29, 13:46 11
      - Johan was out for basically half the year last year too. So maybe we drop 1 or 2 wins there. - musubi Mar 29, 13:54 1
        
        I agree. I don't see the Mets losing so much ground that the Nats pass them. -- nm - Krusty Mar 29, 13:58
      - Beltran can't run, Johan out until June / July, park that favors pitchers - groiny Mar 29, 13:48 8
        
        We gave Frenchy almost 450 plate appearances. Carlos Beltrans corpse would be an improvement. (nm) - musubi Mar 29, 13:55 1
        
        we will see. - groiny Mar 29, 13:56
        
        I really didn't want this to be a thing since opening day is a time of hope, but their roster is grim. - David Mar 29, 13:50 5
        
        Lineup: improved from 2010 Rotation: slight decline without Johan Bullpen: improved - musubi Mar 29, 13:58 3
        
        I sincerely hope for your sake that you're right. -- nm - David Mar 29, 14:02
        
        who is playing 2b now? Murphy? nm -- nm - groiny Mar 29, 13:59 1
        
        Brad Emaus, Rule V draftee that is a OBP machine in the minors. - musubi Mar 29, 14:04
        
        they need an awful lot to go right in order to win more than lose..... - groiny Mar 29, 13:53
    - no, just that Livan is not going to be the ace. - groiny Mar 29, 13:44
  - The Nats? I'll say Zimmerman leads them in wins. - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 29, 13:43 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - I never said how many wins it would be. - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 29, 13:51
