    2011 MLB Discussion

    We're only weeks away from pitchers and catchers reporting! With that said here are my division picks early on:

    AL East - Boston
    AL Central - Minnestoa
    AL West - Texas
    NL East - Atlanta
    NL Central - Milwaukee
    NL West - Colorado

    At least I can count on the Pirates to keep my Astros out of the cellar.

    I think you still have to put the Giants there. At least for now.

    Cubs fan.

    LOL I know this summer will be the first time I've lived in a city with a "bad" baseball team. Having lived in St. Louis when they won the world series and one of Boston's world series titles it will be interesting to see IF I can just on a whim walk to the park and buy a ticket.

    steeler i haven't been to the "new" park in houston. i caught a few games in the old Astrodome when my aunt/uncle lived near Beaumont. #1 is it "safe" or should i pack heat (like you need to in st. louis) #2 how easy is it to get tickets

    It's safe (not as safe feeling as the Astrodome complex was, of course, but that multi-purpose shithole was a dinosaur), and you can walk up and get tix anytime nowadays. It's a nice ballpark too. It's just too bad the Astros are so bad.

    what are you talking about? the ballpark in st louis isnt in a bad area at all. if you worried about walking around down there before,during or after a baseball game you have some issues. i go to about 10-15 Cards games a year and at least half of those is just me and my boys (7 and 11) and ive never had an issue or ever worried about our safety

    On second thought, CLW, maybe you will need to pack heat in H-town too.

    maybe its changed in the last 4 years.


    i lived in st. louis (including 5 blocks from the park) from 2002-2007. i had 2 friends that were mugged/robbed at gunpoint in the area after a game. i was also frequently hit up by no telling how many homeless people looking for cash. LMAO one guy had even fallen asleep underneath my SUV and i had to call the police to wake him up so i could leave after a game.

    There is one thing I know for certain about this upcoming year.

    The Pirates will still suck, and the owners of the Pirates will make MILLIONS from the season. I'm never going to a game till they start spending money PERIOD!
