Fenway Park Superthread!

[the tourist]

I love baseball too. Any early predictions?

I say Boston wins the AL East, Detroit wins the AL Central, Seattle wins the AL West, and Anaheim takes Wild Card. In the national league I have no idea. But probably the Mets, Phillies, Dodgers, and Cubs.

I saw David Bowie at the Anaheim Stadium back in the 80s. I saw The Police at Dodger Stadium last year, not to mention games, of course

 

[the tourist]

Has a date been confirmed or is that your guess as to when it comes out?

It's a confirmed rumour.

Oh. I was only talking about baseball. Not about concerts.

 

[the tourist]

Who do you think'll make the playoffs, Screwtape?

Oh, I know that. I was just trying to be included.

I agree with every pick you made in the American League.

In the NL:

East: New York Mets
Central: St. Louis
West: Colorado
WC: Los Angeles

American League's all I really care about anyway.

Anyway, if my picks win like I hope they do, then I hope Seattle beats the Red Sox, and Detroit beats Anaheim in the first round. From there, I stop caring because I love both the Mariners and the Tigers.

 

[the tourist]

Varitek's in the room. Kinda surprised she hasn't creamed herself seeing the new locale.

 

[the tourist]

Or maybe she has, and that's why she hasn't posted anything yet.

I could see Seattle and Boston go at in the ALCS. Unfortunately I have to say Boston has the advantage.

Really? I don't think so. Seattle's got a better starting rotation than Boston, and a better closer. Seattle's bullpen is younger, but proven. Boston has better hitting--but not by much.

 

[the tourist]

Pornography, by The Cure, just isn't as good.

 

[the tourist]

But I listen nevertheless.

Seattle is a great team but Boston is a team built for a playoff series. They are clutch. I don't see anyone stopping them in the playoffs.

I have always liked Faith better than Pornography. One Hundred Years and Strange Day are great but Faith better functions as an album.

In all honesty, I see any of the other three teams I mentioned stopping them dead. Especially Detroit, though. Their entire team is 100% top class this year.

 

[the tourist]

Yeah, go ahead and laugh yourself silly when Seattle has 5 15 game winners this year, just like we did in 2001.

I've only got 4 of their albums. They're kind of a low priority (the rest) at the moment.

What happened in the 2001 playoffs, I forget.

Ohhhhhh, you got your ass handed to you in the ALCS by NY, that's right.

 

[the tourist]

Ohhhhhh, you got your ass handed to you in the ALCS by NY, that's right.

That's okay because we've handed NY their asses in the playoffs before, too.
