The 2005 Baseball Thread


Recommended Posts

OK so since the season is less than one week away I figure try to get a survey going of who will win what this year. I'd put it in some kind of poll but there would be too many questions. So We'll do division winners, wild card, league champs, WS champs, league MVPS and league Cy Youngs.

AL East:

AL Central:

AL West:

AL Wild Card:

AL Champs:

AL MVP:

AL Cy Young:

NL East:

NL Central:

NL West:

NL Wild Card:

NL Champs:

being a mets fan, i just have to inform you all that they will be winning the series this year

I'm a Mets fan too, but be realistic man. I'll be happy just making the playoffs. If they somehow win a series great but for me just making it would be an accomplishment in light of recent years.

AL East: boston

AL Central: cleveland

AL West: anaheim

AL Wild Card: yankees

AL Champs: yankees

AL MVP: A-rod

AL Cy Young: i'm not sure.

NL East: atlanta

NL Central: st. louis

NL West: san fran.

NL Wild Card: chicago

NL Champs: st.louis

NL MVP: albert pujols

NL Cy Young: roger clemens

WS Champs: st. louis

AL East: NY Yankees (i hate them !)

AL Central: Chicago White Sox (i hate them even more !)

AL West: L.A. Angles (still not used to their new name)

AL Wild Card: Boston

AL Champs: NY Yankees (I hope I'm wrong)

AL MVP: Alex Rod

AL Cy Young: No idea but a guess would be Randy Johnson

NL East: Florida (look out for them)

NL Central: Chicago Cubs (lots to prove & they will succeed)

NL West: SF Giant's

NL Wild Card: Philadelphia

NL Champs: Chicago Cubs

NL MVP: Aramis Ramirez or Nomar (probably Nomar)

NL Cy Young: Carlos Zambrano

WS Champs: Chicago Cubs ! 7 games & they win in NY against Randy Johnson with Aramis being MVP of series.

Cubs better sign Aramis Ramirez to an extension today, he'll be pretty pricey and well wanted after this year. He's not even on top of his game and will be the best 3rd baseman in MLB in a couple of years, offense & defense.

$%@#&*^ Mets' bullpen. Wasted a gem by Pedro. Gonna be the achilles heel all year unless they get some serious help. And Looper was the one who was supposed to have the LEAST questions marks out of that pen. Didn't record an OUT!! Just 14 PITCHES to blow the game. AAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!

Just had to let that out. And I'm a pessimist. Not giving up on the season or anything yet lol, but that was a brutal loss. And I know it's only one game but the Mets have no bullpen and it jsut concerns me seriously. I mean to see your big weakness exposed in game one that blatantly is worrying. And again, GETTING to Looper was supposed to be the real concern, he was supposed to be fine.

    • I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
    • Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
