I can't help but read that and have the urge to yell "Bluuuuuuuuuuuurn!"
Though that is my proposal for hockey OT: stop removing players; start adding pucks.
DeGrom out at least 4 weeks. May need to revise my picks...
Just kill me.
Mets right-hander Max Scherzer is dealing with hamstring tightness and said he isn't sure whether he will be ready to pitch when the regular season starts next week.
SD sees a sucker in the Mets. Gonna try to offload Hosmer with pitcher Paddock in a trade.
Buster Posey(after Willie McCovey he was my favorite Giant)retired, Kevin Gausman FA'd to Toronto and the infield all in their mid 30's they'll need everyone(voice of Gary Oldman in The Professional)to step up again. If Kapler can pull all the right strings again they should be able to compete with the Pads for 2nd in the division and a possible wild card. If Sean Hjelle(RHP)makes the roster he'll tie Jon Rauch at 6-foot-11 as the tallest player in major league history.Let's take a stab at this years standings. I will obviously be completely wrong. But, that makes it fun. Particularly because the East in both AL/NL are a total toss up.
AL East - 1. Tampa Bay, 2. Toronto, 3. Boston, 4. New York, 5. Baltimore
AL Central - 1. Chicago, 2. Minnesota, 3. Kansas City, 4. Cleveland, 5. Detroit
AL West - 1. Houston, 2. Seattle, 3. Los Angeles, 4. Texas, 5. Oakland
NL East - 1. Atlanta, 2. New York, 3. Philadelphia, 4. Miami, 5. Washington
NL Central - 1. Milwaukee, 2. St. Louis, 3. Chicago, 4. Cincinnati, 5. Pittsburgh
NL West - 1. Los Angeles, 2. San Diego, 3. San Francisco, 4. Colorado, 5. Arizona
AL Playoffs: 1. Chicago, 2. Tampa Bay, 3. Houston, 4. Toronto, 5. Boston, 6. Minnesota*
NL Playoffs: 1. Los Angeles, 2. Milwaukee, 3. Atlanta, 4. New York, 5. Philadelphia, 6. San Diego*
* - I really have no idea who the last playoff spot will be in either league. I am sure 3 teams will be vying for each right till the end.
