Just an update.

My books got the "Over" down to 84.5(Even), "Under"(-120).

Congrats to those who took the "Under" early.....and to those who waited on the "Over"    

Key,

Good stuff.....thanks for the useful information.

DoubleUp,

I agree with u 100%. I've never touched a spring training game and never will. I will wait till April.

But good luck to those that do

"The Orioles are the reason the Tigers had such an easy series. The Orioles ruined the Yankees starting rotation setup"

That is a crazy statement. The Yankees actually had outstanding pitching in that series. If you remember, it was the Yankees offense that disappeared. So to say the Orioles had an impact my messing up the Yankee rotation couldnt be further from the truth.

And to throw in the Markakis injury is sour grapes. All teams had injuries

Jpero,

Bullpens are the most unpredictable aspect of baseball. They vary from year to year with inconsistent performances. To think a repeat from last year will happen is asking alot

I respectfully disagree with your statement. The 2 biggest hyped teams this season will be 2 west coast teams, the Dodgers & Angels. With the money they've spent, star players on the teams and powerful lineups...everybody will be on them.

Yes, your right, teams like the Yankees and Red Sox will always be a public favorite.....but with that said, it isnt just east coast bias when there's 2 teams out west with even more hype.

Thanks for all informative respones

Spitfire, thanks

We go on a baseball trip every summer....Got airfare for only $89 each way from NYC and it's only a little only an hour flight, so it will be a nice, quick 3 day trip.

Did some research and PNC seems to be one of the nicest stadiums in baseball with great seats available too. Plus, the Pirates actually have a solid team this season. Going to do a tour of the stadium too and probably do the Heinz field one, also.

Probably do the sports museums also, I think at the Carnegie museum and West PA sports museum. Not sure if thats one place or 2 separate places. Definetly, want to do the inlcine as mentioned. And of course, eat, drink and bar hop.....Thanks for the advice on Carson St.

Just thought I'd try to get some suggestions......Again, thanks for the informative responses, appreciate it.......and of course a few people have to chip in with negativety

Will be there for 2-3 days for the first week of August. Definetly going to PNC for a Pirates-Cubs game.

Any suggestions? Attractions, must do's, must see's, unknown gems, places to eat, etc? ........Thanks.

Overated?

In over 100 years of baseball, Jeter is going to be in the top 5 career hits all time.

Rose 4256

Cobb 4191

Aaron 3771

Musial 3630

Jeter 3500+

Guess those players were overated too.

Of the 28 players in the 3,000 hit club...Jeter was the 2nd youngest at age 36 to achieve it.......so what exactly is your point?

Best memory of Savage was when he jumped off the top rope like 10 times with the bell onto Steamboats throat.....leaving Steamboat to be carried out on a stretcher gasping for air..............this led to my favorite match of all time at Wrestlemania 3, Savage vs Steamboat.

RIP

Walton Goggins

Great actor. Played 2 great roles on 2 great shows, "The Shield" and now "Justified".....Was my favorite character on both shows.
