Any other fans of big boys rounders as most Brits tend to call the game ? Sure there are a few. So who do you follow and what do you reckon to your chances this year ?

Watch the Indians this year, Sizemore is off to a flier and CC is 3-0 with 2 of his wins against the White Sox. Chief Wahoo is smiling already

Hope he is still in a good mood after the visit to Yankee Stadium this week !

Used to watch a bit of it on channel five late at night. Now that ive got skyplus, not so much

I do remember seeing someone pitch a `no-hitter` a few years back though, David Cone? ( i may have made that name up

) Of course, everyone knows the Yankees are the best

That's like calling soccer (football to you brits) adult keepaway.

Well, since spring started, theoretically every team has a chance, but as summer gets here and progresses, it will be the same 10 or so teams as always that will only have a shot at the playoffs.

I love following the Rockies, but usually they are toast by the All Star game. Hopefully the Red Sox will have a good year and take the Yankees down...big weekend series between the Sox and Yanks this coming weekend!

One team from Canada, the Toronto Blue Jays, stand a decent chance this year, if they can stay healthy!

Oh, they are the only foreign team to ever win the "World" series!

And GoofyZ, David Cone was part of that Toronto Team that won!

I thought Cone was with the NY Mets when he pitched the no-hitter

**Mugzy** · 04-16-2007, 01:39 PM

I believe he was...just stating he was also part of the winning CANADIAN team!

TheLancinator · 04-16-2007, 01:49 PM

Ohhhh...I see

And I remember exactly where I was during the Toronto/Philadelphia World Series when Joe Carter hit the walk-off homer to win it...it was a great way to end the Series

**Mugzy** · 04-16-2007, 01:59 PM

That would be the second one they won!

Lots of good trivia on those two series!

TheLancinator · 04-16-2007, 02:02 PM

Yes there is...I believe that was the only walk-off homer to end the World Series...

Look out folks - It's the year of the Florida Marlins! Dontrelle Wills is 3-0 with 17 K's and only 4 walks. He looks great. Just have to keep Jorge Julio off the hill...
