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:

NL MVP:

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.

    • Gen Atlas is the next game from Shadow of the Colossus creator, this time with giant robots by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The mind behind widely well-received games like Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and The Last Guardian, Fumito Ueda, showed up at Summer Game Fest today, and that was to reveal his latest project. Being developed by genDESIGN, Gen Atlas is incoming with what looks to be plenty of mech and robot action. Watch the reveal trailer, which makes not much sense, above. The game will have players waking up on an abandoned planet where deserted facilities and grand designs from the original creators remain. Soon, they will stumble upon a colossal robot, from which players gain access to the power to change the world. "Across an endless expanse of time, the remnants of those forgotten constructs begin to move once more," adds the studio. The gameplay snippets seen in the trailer show the player character climbing giant robots (as expected from the creator), while also controlling these titans somehow as well. This is a fully single-player open-world adventure. “The team and I are grateful to all the fans who’ve been eager to learn more about our game,” says Fumito Ueda, CEO and creative director of genDESIGN. “Their passion and enthusiasm has always motivated and inspired us. We hope to share an experience that inspires moments of quiet wonder and discovery.” Before gaining the name Gen Atlas, Ueda first announced this project back in 2024 with the codename Project Robot. Interestingly, this will be a project being funded and published by Epic Games, which should mean that a Steam release is out of the question. Gen Atlas will be releasing on Epic Games Store, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced just yet.
    • How backwards can you have it? Yes, Linux was gaining because of Linux handhelds and the push for gaming compatibility, but that's not desktop users, it barely converts anyone who owns a SteamDeck, though it helps for those who wanted to do it, but anyways, the AI+RAM debacle helped Linux because people can't easily upgrade their PCs easily and many hate AI so they'd be incentivized to try Linux.
