Nothing beats the Tigers in 3 prediction/comment from 2006. Nothing.
enjoy Hamilton!!
I have nothing against the Giants and was happy to see them win, but the Giants fans have to be the most obnoxious fanbase I've encountered on MLB-GAF
Giants potential free agents:
-- Jeremy Affeldt - resign
-- Melky Cabrera - lol
-- Aubrey Huff (2013 club option) - should just retire
-- Guillermo Mota - resign
-- Xavier Nady - AAA?
-- Angel Pagan - resign
-- Brad Penny - let him go
-- Freddy Sanchez - he might be done
-- Marco Scutaro - resign
-- Ryan Theriot - maybe?
I wonder if the Braves would match up with the Twins on a trade for Span or Revere.I'd keep an eye on the Braves. Frank Wren already said they're going to be more aggressive than usual, although he did warn that they're more likely to sign two moderate-interest free agents than overpay for one premium free agent. With Derek Lowe's and Chipper Jones' contracts gone and the likely non-tendering of Jair Jurrjens, they have a ton of money to spend.

Just my ideas. IDK.
Hmmmm. Interesting. I would rather trade Willingham than Span, but I'll be honest, the Mauer/Willingham/Morneau middle of the order was pretty sweet.I have heard they would be interested Josh Willingham. They've wanted him since he was with the Marlins.
LOL FIELDER
Mets to trade Bay for King Felix during the offseason.
THIS IS OUR YEAR! YEAH! NEW UNIS AND ALL THAT SHIT, IT'S GONNA ROCK!!!111
Agreed 100%.
As for Melky Cabrera, let him go.
The RF finalists in the AL are pretty hilarious. Reddick was worth a ridiculous +17.7 runs in right. Meanwhile, Francouer was worth -4.2, and Choo had a ghastly -17.0. Holy shit! I assume Frenchy & Choo made the list because they're good at throwing out runners? Twins fans thought Cuddyer was a great RF for this reason too. He wasn't.
What if he has a similar season next year though like Ryan Braun? He's still a decent fielding outfielder that can maybe be gotten for a small price.
Giants potential free agents:
-- Jeremy Affeldt 2/8
-- Melky Cabrera 2/18
-- Aubrey Huff Gone
-- Guillermo Mota Gone
-- Xavier Nady Gone
-- Angel Pagan 3/27
-- Brad Penny Gone
-- Freddy Sanchez Gone
-- Marco Scutaro 2/16
-- Ryan Theriot Gone
So GAF I've been having a question. The AL and NL now have an equal number of teams, right? I've heard people saying that this means interleague matches will be played more regularly throughout the season. Why is that the case? How did the first thing affect the second thing, because I can't see how they're related.

Man the BYB writer for The Tigers is probably the worst writer on the SBNation staff. Grant Brisbee is the only funny writer on the entire staff.
You forgot Jeff Sullivan.
There was one guy from Vermont being hella annoying. Everyone here was pretty tame.
Use that extra revenue to get Greinke, Sabez!
That was for one game and people whined so much and started getting hostile I reverted back to my usual self.
So sorry trying to be excited for my team.
You really believe in a Melky signing?
There were plenty of Giants fans in there that were just trying to have fun without being completely irritating. With what the Giants went through this post season (downs and then crazy ups) I just thought it was in poor taste to trashtalk. Hell, you actually tried to justify your obnoxious behavior. Well they won and I don't wanna harp on it. To be honest I found Syphon Filter 10x more annoying because he jumped on the bandwagon after the Giants completed the comback against the Cardinals.
You forgot Jeff Sullivan.
Ok that makes more sense to me now... than it did... Not Psycho made the most sense.
I thought he's not on SBN staff anymore, just writing for Lookout Landing and Fangraphs. Also, Matthew is funny too
EDIT Miguel Olivo, Kevin Millwood, George Sherrill, and Oliver Perez now free agents. Olivo sucked, Millwood was pretty good, Perez was fixed and good, Sherrill never played. Go get 'em!
With what the Giants went through during the postseason and the regular season, Giants fans had EVERY reason to trashtalk. Between the Melky Cabrera thing, being behind in the NLDS and CS, the Giants were trash-talked by everybody and everybody said they were going to lose every single one of the series they appeared in.
Giants fans 100% earned their right to trashtalk everyone else.
No one was giving the Giants a chance to win in the World Series, but plenty of people picked them to win the division and make it to the world series (at least at the start of the season). There's a difference between defending a very good team against attacks from fans, which none of the Tigers fans here were doing, and whatever it was that you were doing.
holy shit im dying.

Trash talk is one thing.
You were basically boasting of your own "powers" to give the "San Fran Gods" the title more than you were talking about the team. And then, how your "powers" wouldn't work next year. That's all about you.
You also said the Giants smoked Roy Halladay multiple times in 2010, when in reality Halladay and Lincecum both went 1-1 against each other in that series, and Halladay went 6 giving up 2 in game 5. Those were some epic matchups, so to bash Halladay there is annoying. Plus who hates on Halladay?
And you said you liked the Dodgers, so you clearly aren't a typical Giants fan.
Holy shit, people actually took this shit seriously, hahahaha.
And I trashtalked Halladay because it was another pitcher that people said was unhittable, but Giants had no problem with him at all. Then Cliff Lee turned out to be a joke.
And of course I like the Dodgers. There's no reason to hate on the Dodgers. The AL is the ultimate enemy for Giants fans.

The early 2013 @BovadaLV World Series odds: Detroit 6-1, Yankees 7-1, Giants 10-1, Nats 12-1,TEX 12-1,Angels 12-1, PHI/STL/CIN/ATL all 14-1.
Yep. We're not going anywhere with such a shitty bullpen.Dodger odds must be pretty bad. Not surprised though their pitching staff sucks and there are no FA pitchers to go after.
