    lol even after drinking some alcohol tonight I really can't see them in the World Series. Maybe I just don't want to get my hopes up. Mainly because of their pitching.

    Vazquez out for the year and Koji + Joe Kelly headed for the DL. Good start for the Sox out of the gate.

    Still bs about the decision to have Victorino our starting RF over Rusney Castillo too.

    Still excited to see Mookie wreck shop though. Good thing the AL East is probably the weakest its been in a while.

    Ervin Santana suspended 80 games, Twins off to a great start already. :emoji_thumbsup:

    Oh well, they're almost guaranteed to be last in their division anyways, 2nd to last if they pull off a miracle. Only thing I'm kinda excited about is bringing up some of the prospects at some point who have a lot of potential, but Twins are always slow as f--- with doing that. Sano and Buxton probably won't come up till September.

    Yo @redsoxx what's your current streak? I'm only on 1 lol. I picked the celtics yesterday I believe it was and won but then lost 2 then won again. I'm just curious on how you're liking it and what matchup are you choosing for tonight? Hard picks tonight imo.

    Lost 2 in a row. I keep trying to pick weird games going on early in the day like soccer and womens tennis and keep losing.

    Taking the Raptors over the Nets tonight.

    I chose any other result on the celtics and pacers will both win tonight. What do you think the chances of that are? I won the tennis matchup earlier but lost the golf one at 8am. It seems NBA is the most consistent picks and usually works the best for me. I think the mlb picks will be interesting to pick when the season gets going.

    It's harder than you would think isn't it? Any friends tell me they could easily pick one game a day and win for 30 in a row until they try it. Some people in the league I'm in already has a 8 win game streak.

    @tm87 can you link me to that streak page again? Gonna try it out later tonight finally, seems fun and I think I'd be at least decent at it lol. Also if you have a streak going and then don't pick one day, does the streak reset to 0 or is it still good until you get a pick wrong?

    See if you can join the group I'm in http://streak.espn.go.com/en/group?groupID=286609 Regardless you'll be able to pick but would be pretty cool to be in my group.

    I'm one of the few Brave's fans that agree with the Kimbrel/Upton Jr trade. It's pretty interesting that they waited last second to do it though

    Wow, you know baseball fell off when the season opener is on ESPN2 and women's basketball is on ESPN.

    Yeah but is the women's final four even that popular? Haven't really heard anyone talk about it lol. I only know it's the final four cuz I clicked the info button on my remote.

    I already love Jason Heyward. He looked great out there tonight. I'm a huge Cardinals fan.
