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!

      2018 Silverado Console USB Port Not Working

      By Tbhats2130 · Posted

      My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.

      I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on.
