Am I crazy??? Ha ha. Believe it or not, I'm not one of those Anti-Dodgers Giants fan. Sure, they are the rival team, but I'm not a hater. No doubt, the Dodgers are stacked this year.
^ Man i just hope no one gets injured and we dont make any stupid trades to bring in a power hitter. Im one of those people that believe defense/pitching + speed will bring you a championship.

Love your banner two of the best announcers ever. I'm also a Giants fan and I sadly have to agree with you that their not going to do anything this year. You can't compete without a decent closer and third baseman.

WOOHOO - ANOTHER GIANTS FAN!!!
Even though they probably won't make it far, it'll be a fun year with the home run chase, the all-star game in SF, and all the fan favorites on the team. Man, they got ROCKED today! But it was good to hear Kruk and Kuip call the game.
Astros bullpen is killing me...
Come on 'Stros!!

^ thats true, but still a sweep woulda been nice xD. speaking of the series..Felix Hernandez...crazy pitching the first game.
Hah. Bochy must be pissed right now. Losing to his former team. xD. GO PADRES!

Yeah he's pissed, especially when he didn't want to leave the Padres, they pushed him out. Well he has 17 more chances for revenge.
My hometown M's are in 2nd place. 
.... hahaha xD Hope they keep it up ... I want the glory days back - 116 wins. 
Dang ... Matsuzaka with 10 Ks .... Go Red Sox

UPDATED
Game of the Week
2nd Week of Baseball [April 8- 15]
Los Angeles Dodgers vs. San Diego Padres - Sunday April 15th
Reason: Jackie Robinson Day, need i say more?
Power Ranking - [week 2]
1. Minnesota Twins
------ Off to a fast start of 4-1 record. They have Johan and also the AL Mvp. Sweet deal.
2. Los Angeles Dodgers
------ After mustering out 1 win from the Brewers, Dodgers swept Giants allowing only 6 runs, 3 being in the late innings of a blowout game. I love this rotation, where Schmits is considered the 3rd Pitcher!!!
3. New York Mets
------ David Wright and Jose Reyes are the future of this club. If Beltran stays healthy, I think they'll repeat the season they had last season
4. Boston Redsox
------ Dice K's first game was impressive, keep him healthy along with others and they'll do well.
5. New York Yankees
------ Boo birds can boo arod as much as they want but arod is the reason they have atleast 2 wins.
6. Anaheim Angels
------ They have the best 7 game record mainly because no team has played 7 games yet. However, expect the halos to be strong in the al west with Matthews Jr. make contributions on both defensive and offensive ends. Did I forget to tell you they have vlad?
7. Atlanta Braves
------ We know Mets will prob have another great season, can the Braves get back in the playoffs atleast with a wild card birth?

Aaron doesn't plan to celebrate with Bonds
Associated Press
Posted: 5 hours ago
ATLANTA (AP) - Hank Aaron doesn't plan to be at the ballpark if and when Barry Bonds breaks his home run record.
"Uh-uh. No, no. I'm not going to be around," Aaron was quoted as saying in Tuesday's editions of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Bonds has 735 homers, 20 short of Aaron's career record. While Aaron has declined most interview requests in recent months, he spoke with Journal-Constitution columnist Terence Moore.
Aaron said he wouldn't attend if Bonds were within reach of the record when the San Francisco Giants play at Atlanta from Aug. 14-16.
"I'd probably fly to West Palm Beach to play golf," Aaron was quoted as saying in Moore's column. "Again, it has nothing to do with anybody, other than I had enough of it. I don't want to be around that sort of thing anymore. I just want to be at peace with myself. I don't want to answer questions. It's going to be a no-win situation for me anyway. If I go, people are going to say, 'Well, he went because of this.' If I don't go, they'll say whatever. I'll just let them make their own mind up."
Aaron, who did not return a call from The Associated Press, said baseball commissioner Bud Selig has told him that Bonds has asked several times why Aaron hasn't contacted him as he approaches the record.
"I don't talk to anybody, really, and I've never talked to Barry, outside of that commercial we did together a few years ago, and a few other short times," Aaron was quoted as saying. "I'm 72 years old, and I'm not hopping on a plane and flying all the way to San Francisco for anybody."
