Who is your favorite team and player and who do you think will win the World Series this year?

 

St. Louis Cardinals

Albert Pujols

Unfortuneately I think the Yankees will win the WS, even though I hope they miss the playoffs again. But with the players they signed and the $ they spent anything less than a WS should be considered a failure.

Unfortunately I think the Yankees will win the WS, with the players on 'roids anything less than a WS should be considered a failure.

 

 

Fixed that for you.

How true, now if they only had Giambi and Clemens still.

Lifelong Mets fan here. So I am sure as usual they will be at least 20 games ahead in the NL East with 5 games left in the season and they will fail to make the playoffs again this year. :D

How true? Just because A-Rod used steroids from '01-'03 (when he was with Texas, in case you didn't know), now the current team is on steroids? :D

 

Name one player on the Yankees that has been on steroids in the 3-4 years.

 

And of course nobody on either of you guys' teams was ever on them either, right? :D

 

(No, I'm not condoning it, but bitching on just the Yankees for it is completely ridiculous.)

I can't stand to watch baseball, so I could less who's on 'roids and who's not. To me football, hockey and baseball are only entertainment venues and I don't understand why so much emphasis is put on their hall of fame. I say let them use whatever they want and make the sports as entertaining as possible.

The Cleveland Indians are my team. I'd have to say Cliff Lee, and Victor Martinez are my favorite player's. In about 12 to 15 year's, it'll be my grandson. :D

Cubs, Ryno is my all time fav. Current would be Theriot probably because of the way he plays the game.

 

Penn you should be happy the cubs gave you Kerry Wood and Mark Derosa (I wont get over that trade for a long time he is a very good player)

 

I could care less about steroids in baseball. It is my fav sport. My take it doesnt matter how strong you are you still have to put the bat on the ball. You can be ginormous and not be able to do that. however if you do hit the ball there is a better chance of it going futher.

 

My predicition for the year the yankees will not even make the playoffs!

Brewers are a solid pick, I like the small market teams! But then again i like large salary cap teams to, you know why!? Because I love watching the Twins beat the yanks!

 

Has that ever happened? :withstupid:

HAHA only the second highest winning percentage based on money spent! (behind the A's) and yeah quite often! People often fail to realize how well Gardy gets the guys to play. example.... 90 wins the last 5-10 years is not unreasonable and last year the Twinks finished one game behind the yankees in the regular season total wins...and considering were a small market 4-6 vs the yankees last year isn't all that bad is it?

Considering how shitty the Yankees played most of last year (and how many big players were on the DL for extended periods)? I'd say that's pretty bad. :D

 

I'm a die hard NYY fan, and I always will be, but I hate the way they do business. Small market baseball is so much more fun to watch, but I gotta back my team.

That Worked up that you didn't make the playoffs? lol j/k i know your just backing your team but it sure is nice being apart of a small market team. I'm just giving you a hard time as I'm sure you are to but take 2006 for instance we finished 3-3 against the yanks and won 96 games compared to the Yankees 97. I'm sure the Yankees had tons of injuries that year though right? :D even though we play with glorified minor leaguers and a couple hometown guys playing there hearts out......I think i have a strong argument, but hey I'm glad you support your team and stick by them. Good luck to them this year, Tex should provide some good pop in the lineup that's for sure!

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
