LETS GO BUCS!!!
But seriously folks....
What I would like to see MLB do is have every team play at least a 2 game home and home series against all the teams in MLB. This gives everyone the chance to see all the teams play in your favorite teams home park once a year.
Also cuts down on us having to suffer through 8 "must see" Boston vs New York series every season.
There was alot of electricity at PNC Park last year when the Yankees game to the Burgh and lost 2 of 3 to the Buccos.

Oh right it baseball time again. 1 downfall though is you have to see the Yankee's/Red Sox's play each other or someone else. To much coverage for both these teams.
Hear me ESPN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GO TRIBE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i disagree with ESPN's thought that everyone in America wants to watch Red Sox and Yankees every stinkin time theyre on.
Does any know if the Reds had any Sunday night baseball games last season. I dont think they did. And last year alot of analysts before the season said the Reds were a playoff contender. I'm saying this because I know the Red Sox and Yankees had at least 4 or 5 Sunday night games. ESPN needs to realize that the rivalry is not as good since the Red Sox have won the world series.

ESPN only shows front runners. As much as I hate it they are a buisness and ratings are how they make money. Thank god for FSN-OHIO!!!!!!! I love my Reds win or lose (mostly lose but thats ok.) With the hole Aroid thing you can bet the Yankees will be on TV 30 to 50 games this year.(

"Undoubtedly, these are the worst pirates I've ever seen." Even Jack Sparrow can't help us.
Pittsburgh was the only team picked on every ballot to finish last in their division by the sportswriters this year.
At least PNC Park is a great place to take in a ballgame and the staff does their best to make it so.

I'll keep the faith. Plan on heading up to Pittsburgh for several games this year. Maybe they'll catch some lighting in the bottle.
It would be nice if Bonds were on a team. He always gets a good BOO when he comes back to the Burgh.
Last year was nice. Got to see the Yankees 2 out of the 3 dates. Didn't go back up for the makeup on the rain cancellation. When the Yankees come to town, they bring the whole circus with them.

The Reds have a hole new attitide and it is paying off. They just need to get there pitching rotation to be consistant and there bullpen has to step up.

The 2 new players from India are paying dividends.

The Pirates (6-2) are still in first place after falling in 11 ininngs to the landlubber Redlegs (5-3) 10-6.
The seas were alittle choppy for the Buccos but skipper Russell will right the ship.
