I'm thinking the Yanks are a lock against the Pirates but can smell a trap. Don't forget about the Yanks will be tired from playing today and the Pirates have been resting for like 150 days. You would hope they would be fresh, but they can't block the plate anymore like the play that got them into the postseason last year. And the weather report of a few showers and a 10mph wind?? 76 degrees?? Yanks will be tired and sore traveling by bus from Tampa down to Bradenton and scared as they travel cross the Skyway Bridge to face the Pirates. Oh, and not to mention that the Pirates will be looking ahead to Thursday's game against the Yanks up in their Tampa Bay hood and might not be mentally sharp for tomorrow.

St louis was the top dog in 2012 in the NL as my records see it winning 15 games with Giants right behind them
Royals last year 2013 also had a pretty good ST with as noted those 2 big win streaks of 10 and 8 for a total of 18+ wins
The NL did not have any stand out teams over powering ST last year as my records show so i guess its an open free for all this year for someone to step up
Pretty sure Toronto was 24-7 in 2012 ST

what do you think they have been doing for the last 20 days or so Your opinion regarding NYY
Yanks will be tired and sore traveling by bus from Tampa down to Bradenton and scared as they travel cross the Skyway Bridge to face the Pirates. Oh, anDude you do know these guys are Pro's for the most part and have done this for many years
Coasty i believe i'm correct as i have all the games from 2012 on my desk in front of me as i do for the last 5 years but i could had entered an incorrect score but i doubt it
23 ,,,I start out Small for first week to get a small feel who looks hot and who's not. I also do a few Parlays as they get going but all small as its a crap shoot for the most part
As noted in thread watch the win and loss streaks as they will show up and just as Royals with their 10 and 8 game win streak 2013 it will occur again with some clubs so be prepared to get on them early and ride the wave
Just as toronto was in 2012 with that 18 game win streak

Backing these streak teams from prior years for their first game for 2014
Page 22 lets see how the past shows itself
Been going thru old ST seasons
How many teams have the longest win/loss streaks in first ST games in past years from 2010
Rockies have won their first ST game in each of the last 4 years
Marlins have also matched Colorado with 4 first game wins
St Louis just reverse has lost all its first ST games in past 4 years
Detroit had 3 wins but lost its first game in ST in 2010
At least i have some back up vs Breezys lame post Scared PRO Ball Players

Picked this up surfing Net
1. Derek Jeter, CC Sabathia, Mark Teixeira, Michael Pineda, David Robertson.
Yes, the Yankees have a couple of issues. Even after all the spending, the Yanks still have huge question marks. Though if things work out a certain way, they're good enough to win their 28th World Series.
This spring will offer a glimpse into the direction the Yankees are headed in 2014. Remember, though, it's no more than a glimpse. If there's real trouble between now and Opening Day, the Yanks are in real trouble.
More likely, we won't really know what Jeter, Sabathia, etc., are capable of for months as the season rolls on. Jeter, Sabathia, Teixeira and Pineda are recovering from injuries, so Spring Training will offer plenty of insight into whether they're capable of going out and being productive. But the larger answers will come a day at a time.
As for Robertson, nothing that happens in Spring Training is likely to reveal how good a big league closer he's going to be. He has passed every test in his career and earned the opportunity to see if he can follow the greatest closer of all time, Mariano Rivera.

It seems pretty simple for the Giants. If Lincecum and Vogelsong are good, then San Francisco might just win its third World Series in five seasons. The Giants feel really good about every other area of their club, including the first three spots in the rotation (Matt Cain, Madison Bumgarner, Tim Hudson), and if Lincecum and Vogelsong are as good as they've been in the past, this club could be in business.

Everything Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. has done is based on his belief that the band has another good tour left in it. On top of that list is Howard, who was once one of baseball's most feared hitters. He has played 151 games the past two seasons, and has mostly been overmatched by left-handed pitching. If the Phils can get a big season from Howard, they've got a chance to contend.I Don't see it
8. Ryan Braun.
Braun has said all the right things in his renaissance tour, and the Brewers have surrounded him with a club that seems capable of getting to the postseason. What Braun must do is prove that he can still be an All-Star caliber player without performance-enhancing substances. He's just 30 years old and has plenty of time to write a different ending to his career. Is there any better way than Braun again throwing MVP numbers on the board and leading the Brewers back to October?
9. B.J. Upton.
The Braves are again deep and talented, and they can probably get to October regardless of what they get from Upton, who hit just .184 in 2013 and looked lost at the plate at times. But he has a different kind of track record. During his Tampa Bay years, the Rays played their best baseball when Upton was very good. He was the type of player capable of carrying an entire club. If that Upton re-emerges in 2014, the Braves will definitely be playing in October.They could be a major problem in east IMO
10. Wandy Rodriguez.
The Pirates said their goodbyes to A.J. Burnett, but their rotation could still be excellent, especially if the 35-year-old Rodriguez recovers from a left forearm injury that sidelined him the final four months of last season. The southpaw had a 3.47 ERA in his first 11 starts before the injury. In six seasons before 2014, he averaged 31 starts, 186 innings and a 3.66 ERA. The Bucs have other question marks, especially in their search for a right-handed bat, but Rodriguez could elevate a good rotation into an excellent one.

Of course that is dependent on things like home field and the DH. As you have said stevo, sometimes you have to look beyond the apparent.
