What's your favorite MLB team?

After some of the signs i saw in the stands, he should have chucked the bat at them. I get that he was their star and he left to a rival in their division, but c'mon, he gave them 7 great years and brought a lot of W's to the club. Go ahead and boo, but don't call him a traitor when your own team clearly didn't value him enough to up the offer (they lowered their final offer).
Yeah, but the entire right field seemed to be Phillies fans. You could hear the "we got Harper" chant on TV.

So, the Red Sox are not off to a great start so far BUT last night was epic because Eduardo Nunez (not a pitcher) pitched. He has a better ERA than some 'real' pitchers in the rotation now.

My Reds still haven't won since opening day, maybe they were shamed by my video, HAHAHAHA

damn another one for bellinger.........i think that's a record of 10 straight games with a hr to start the season!!!!!!

luckily it was on espn so i was able to watch them for once. i wish i can see more of them this year.

i just wonder how long our bats can keep up this torrid pace. hopefully by the time we get our ace and rich hill backup in the pitching rotation our pitching can catch fire as well.....i know at some point we are gonna cool down and we will need the arms of our ace back to keep us in games.

My Colorado Rockies are world series bound this year:thumbsupdroid::specsdroid:
not if the Boys in Blue have anything to say about it:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p

look out guys, but we are getting healthier by the minute with our pitching staff. some of the youngsters like Urias is moving out of the starting rotation to bolster our relievers like it was supposed to be intended at the start of the season. as long as our bats keeps swinging and our starters can keep the relievers fresh, we will most likely see another World Series!!!!!!

Just WoW. That is getting your hand slapped pretty darn hard. Everyone is looking for that edge in sports and it would be staggering to know how much out right cheating goes on. Rules are rules and I think they should be in place. Punishments for infractions should also be in place and issued when required. Banned - fired - and a five million dollar fine seems a bit much for stealing signs. I guess the commish is pretty serious about cracking down on such infractions.

I'm OK with traditional sign stealing (i.e. guy on second). I think using the replay technicians to decode the sign sequence and transmit that to the dugout while rigging a monitor to the tunnel from the center field camera is a bit much.

I'm going to make guess that Cora is gone too, but that the Red Sox are waiting (probably as directed by MLB) to wait until MLB acts before they drop the hammer. I'm hopeful praying that the Sox didn't have such an elaborate set up here.

I'm not trying to deflect from the Red Sox / Cora, because I expect similar punishments for them that the Astros got (except for the GM since Dombrowski is already gone).

I've been listening to MLB Network on Sirius all day, well actually, since news broke yesterday. The mood initially was shock at the punishements (from both too harsh to too lenient). Today as more former players and whatnot were on the air the term "glass house" was being repeated over and over. I think sign stealing is far more widespread than two teams and Alex Cora. Maybe not such an elaborate setup, but a larger problem none the less.

I've also heard the term "dead man walking" for Cora, so, um, who should I be rooting for as the next manager of the Boston Red Sox.
