Utley still has not even taken a single AB in spring training, I don't see his knee holding up through an entire season. You think Galves will have a shot at playing second base? My guess is they will have Martinez fill in that spot...
That's absurd in the sense that some people in TO refuse to believe they have a pretty good product out there. I know that Joey has a cult following and all that good stuff, but there are a lot of other good players, existing and up-and-coming, on the team - Romero, Lind, Arencibia, Lawrie. A lot of people drinking the Lawrie Kool-Aid, and Arencibia was a huge surprise to see last year. He was like the second coming of Marco Scutaro in 2009 (I think...) when he was on that huge offensive tear, but JP was more consistent.
Fun team to watch. Looking forward to seeing how many homers they hit at Target Field this season.
I reason that a lot of people have an inferiority complex.
This lineup looks really strong. I'm begging the gods to not allow Lawrie to have a sophomore slump.
A lot of optimism regarding the Blue Jays this year by baseball media, and average joe fans. Though it's always there, it's a little less cautious.

bed famed.
im not buying in or getting hype over the phillies...
im just not...
freddy looks like a talent, but u never know till he's in a major league environment...
PHILLIES.
yea it seems these past couple years they looked for quick fixes instead of long term solutions.
this is a testament to RAJ, he went all in with the wallet and giving away the farm system to win a WS, it hasn't worked... if it had, people would love him for it and say "it was worth it" but it hasn't, so he's on the other receiving end. i think his over-belief in pitching has blinded him... then again, im not a GM, and there is allot on his plate...
phillies, won't win their division this year, utley is done as well as howard, we have seen the last of utley, unfortunately we will be stuck with howard as a perennially injured chump who can put up numbers against slobs but can perform against the best. this will also be charlies last season with the team.
Moving back to Minneapolis in less than a month. So fucking psyched. Just bought tickets for two games for the week that I get back, vs Angels and Rangers. Pavano vs whoever gets opening day nod for the Angels, and Baker vs unknown for the Rangers. Hopefully Yu Darvish, because I want to see that dude in action /nh. It will be my first time getting to see Target Field. Fuck yes.
I didn't go to any games last year, but I plan on changing that this season now that I'm able to have some spare money around.
I'm pretty excited, some of the guys are doing pretty well in spring and look like they're ready to go.

thats debatable bed famed and your opinion is always welcomed...
from what i see (watching the game) fuck sportcenter and scouting reports... i would have said valdez was a world apart from martinez as an all around baseball player... RAJ thought they are equal and went with the cheaper option... fuck i mean valdez provided the most memorable game of all last season appearing in late inning relief and striking out the heart of the lineup... but anyhow, utley is done for good, or at least till he gets surgery, so done for this season... howard has constant set backs, and did you see any of his footage in spring training? dude got FAT AS FUCK, i mean injured or not have some fuckin work ethic mr cant learn how to hit a breaking ball 8 seasons in... and now martinez goes down with a fractured ankle... pauli is already out too... this is a BIG FUCKIN JOKE... i mean ill always love certain players on this team for what they did in the past, and i respect all of the above mentioned, this is RAJ and charLIE who have fucked up, trading away picks, not replenishing with youth, depleting the farm system, and trying to sign big names like your fuckin george stienbrenner, charLIES stubbornness to play better players in certain spots out of "loyalty" ect ect ect... im over it, ill still watch every game but im looking for a few things this season, i want sherm stick to win his first cy young, id like dom brown and freddy galvis to emerge, worley to continue improving, as well as mayberry, thats our future, other then that i don't care. im boycotting stadium this year, ive averaged a minimum of 15 games a season since i could walk and im fucking disgusted with what is going on... i dont want to sit next to fags from jersey and yardley having their first cheeesteak talking about a deal they closed over miller lite. fuck outta here
