Do you have an interesting "secondary team" in mind for 2018?

My Cardinals are the third best team in the NL Central right now.

 

They are cheap fuckers.

 

I might jsut have to root on the hometown Astros again this year, since they actually appear to trying to win, unlike the Cardinals in St. Louis as of 31 January 2018.  (now if we sign someone like a Hosmer/Holland/Moose/Arrieta, then I'll change my tune.  We really need at least 2 of them, tbh.)

What a fan.

 

 

Are you Dustin Garneau? 

 

Is he sexy and a ladies man?. If so, yes.

 

Edit: just looked up a picture of him and the headshot of him in a rockies uniform answers my question. Absolutely not.

 

 

Rooting for a 2nd team is lame. That's why there's more than one sport. Even got the World Cup this year and Miami FC on the way. And there's porn. Pet puppies. Meditate. Play Call of Duty. Do anything other than follow a 2nd team really.

Bestiality should never be an option.

The Red Sox have always been my AL team so I'll probably pay more attention to them even though they've not really improved the team this winter while their main rival added Giancarlo

 

 

 

Yawn.

 

Never said anything about abandoning them.  Just that they are cheap fuckers and arent looking to win the division. 

 

they are literally one of the 5 best run teams in the entire league.  fuck off with that nonsense.

 

 

I like cohesion and chemistry, which I know is outdated and beyond the scope of analytics.

 

Boche's Giants. Tito's Indians.

 

 

"What they could do" was gonna be another 70-something win season and another year missing the playoffs while prolonging the inevitable rebuild. Where we are now means we're already closer to the next contending Marlins team than we would have been without trading those guys away. 

 

I would have taken it. 

 

 

I would have taken it. 

 

Me too. Nobody wants to mention that we finished second in the NL East with no pitching. Bad liver and a broken heart.

I'd rather be last place for 2 to 3 years followed by competing after that then 2nd and 3rd place for the next 5 to 6 years with no realistic chance of being a playoff team.

Fair enough, but I like the idea of beating the Braves and Phillies while we can. If these rebuilds are all they are cracked up to be, when are we going to be better than those two teams since they have a head start rebuilding ?

 

 

Cause the division sucked, it was a team with a losing record. Second place is just the first loser and this time around second place was a clear loser.

 

I really think second place in the NL East this year, will get you in the wild card hunt. Those teams in the NL West are going to be beating each other up all season now that the Giants have added.

This is a valid question. I can come up with 2 answers. Pray their rebuilds don't work as well as ours and sooner than later we're better than them (unlikely I know) or there comes a point when all 3 of us are just straight up good and we all have a chance to win the division and it'd be a few dogfight seasons for the NL East (from the standpoint of MLB this is the one they'd hope for, more competition). We shall have to wait and see. 

 

 

Yes maybe it will this year but the 2017 marlins wouldn’t come in second place this year or compete for the wild card.

 

Yep. Unless the new owners were willing to add some pitching in a buyers market...then i would have loved our chances. it's funny, the Mets looked like they were tearing things down at the trading deadline and now they see the opportunity and are adding. Licking their chops to have 50 games with the Phillies,Braves and Marlins.

 

 

Having a "backup" team is silly. I'll probably watch a lot of Yankees games for obvious reasons, but they won't be "my" team. I'll also watch Braves games because I get them on TV. But I'll still watch the Marlins day in and day out.

Why did Joe Frisaro buy you a beer?
