I wouldn't get to carried away. The Indians and Tigers have played well so far but none of the other teams will finish .500.Classyposter58;1448675 wrote:The AL Central is serious business this year. Indians have some nice firepower, White Sox and Royals can play, even Minnesota can score some runs

The one where he throws out a very fast Harold Reynolds.....from the LF warning track....mind boggling.
I'm glad I got to see the unearthly stuff he did in baseball and football. One of the strongest/most powerful athletes ever and btw ran a 4.25 40.

Legit question.
Why are some of these natural rivalries what they are?
Braves/Blue Jays?
Red Sox/Phillies?
Why not switch these two? A lot more history.
Twins/Brewers? I guess you have former AL Central rivals there.
Rangers/Diamondbacks?
Padres/Mariners?
Astros/Rockies?
Nothing you can do with those crappy teams.

Braves/Blue Jays....the Bobby Cox series! Early 90's great teams?
Red Sox and Phillies....Curt Schilling bowl and WS matchup?
Twins/Brewers is regional....other 3 are stupider

Braves, formerly in Boston, have lots of history against the Sox.
Yes, they have had a legendary WS, but it's not the best rivalry.
Twins and Brewers, yeah I guess you can call it regional. Same as you call Reds/White Sox regional. Or Reds/Tigers.

MLB stretching.....if you've always pretty much sucked, there is no rival for you.

Whoever does the games on WGN freaking sucks. They are barely talking, and literally just went 29 seconds during the game without saying a word. 29 freaking seconds. If you ever want to fall asleep during a game just turn to WGN.

Hawk Harrellson is the worst. I was at the Detroit/Pittsburgh game today, I liked the matchup. Tigers don't really have any out of league rivals, I guess the Cubs, Reds and Pirates is about as close as it gets. I like when we play Cincy thoughTerry_Tate;1449061 wrote:They are playing each other, lol. Guessing White Sox since they're the home team.

Just found this: http://www.heavethehawk.com/. Apparently he is really hated, lol. What tipped me off to how bad they are was the first at bat I saw Julio Borbon hit a home run and as soon as it left the bat the only thing said was "Oh no". Haha

Hawk led the AL in RBI and finished 3rd in the MVP race in 1968.

@SportsCenter: Mariano Rivera BLOWS 1st save of season, as David Wright scores the game-winning run in bottom of the 9th. Mets beat Yanks, 2-1.
