Everything New Again

A new house.......a new state......a new job........new baseball season is almost here.

First off,i now live in Texas,closer to an actual team(Rangers are 20 minutes from my work,about a hour from home).

Second,got a new job,one that will let me have time to post a blog topic a little more often,and able me to read all of the great blogs that i have missed for the last 7 months.

Third,comment about how far off i was in my predictions for 2012.

And Forth but not least(i know thats the wrong spelling-but i now live in Fort Worth,Tx.)......i get to collect cards again.

Thanks for reading and i welcome your comments and/or complaints.

Congrats Mets Fans

Congrats to the long suffering Mets fans about never having a no-no.

Johan Santana just became your all-time hero.Way to go.

Just a short post to congradulate the Mets and their fans.Now its time for the Padres to get one.

A. L. Report

First post in a series on the standings throughout the year.

The American League

East
Baltimore        20-12 ---
Tampa Bay      20-12 ---
Toronto           18-14  2.0
New York       17-14  2.5
Boston             12-19  7.5

One word comes to mind,WOW...never did I think that the powerhouse/money guys would be 4th and 5th.....yeah,I predicted the Yanks to be 4th,but,that was just because I hate them.

I hope the O's can continue to actually play good against the Yanks,they usually never do.

Go Rays and Jays.

Central
Cleveland       18-13  ---
Detroit            16-15  2.0
Chicago          15-17  3.5
Kansas City    11-19  6.5
Minnesota        8-23  10.0

Only comment here is how bad the Royals are showing themselves so far.I figured Minnesota would not have a great year and it doesn't surprise me at all.

West
Texas             21-11  ---
Oakland         16-16  5.0
Seattle            15-18  6.5
Los Angeles   14-18  7.0

Texas is slowly running away with it,but I wont count out the Angels.The A's are playing above their heads and it will slow down soon.

So,if season ended yesterday,the O's and Rays would have to have a one game playoff for the division title and loser would play the Jays for the Wild Card in another one-game playoff.

The Indians and Rangers would also be in.................so,no Angels,Redsox,Yanks or Tigers....Oh my.

I know its early,but Wow,things are not going that great in a few cities so far and I haven't even done the N.L. yet.

Any comments?

Favorite Baseball Announcers

I have been swamped at work and thankfully making a few sales on ebay which has kept me busy like crazy.

Also,baseball has started and i watch as much as i can,free preview just ended and now i only have limited amount of games to see.

The channel i watch most is the MLB Network,but i'm in the Braves territory,so i get Braves games on their 3 different networks.

While i had the free preview,i try and watch the broadcasters from all of the teams and see who i like and who i dont like......without my YES prejudice.

I grew up listening to Milo Hamilton on the Astros radio network and on the TV side,i've always enjoyed Chip Carey,because he also did the Orlando Magic games when i lived in Florida.

Who are your favorites and from what team.
