Time again for the yearly "Post your favorite Baseball team and when they will be eliminated....

[LynneSin]

....from playoff contentions"

As always, my team is the Cincinnati Reds (Phillies are my 2nd favorite). I think the Reds might actually have a quality team this year and will keep in some form of playoff contention until late July.

[madinmaryland]

1. Pittsburgh Pirates - April 5th, 2010. Already looking forward to next year!!

[tigereye]

20. hey we just beat LA 11-5 and we hit 3 home runs!

I know, but we have to have a little bit of hope, right? Alzarez might help when he's called up...

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

21. Hey, they won!!!!

End the season now!!!!

[Captain Hilts]

2. New York Mets - July 15th. nt

[we can do it]

3. Cleveland Indians

not much hope here

[Auggie]

12. Off to a dubious start: shut out by the White Sox on Opening Day

Total domination by Chicago, IMO

[jobycom]

4. Texas Rangers. They will win the World Series.

One day. I promise.

[LynneSin]

10. Will Texas still be a part of the union on that day?

:shrug:

[Jokerman]

5. The Cubs - As soon as the first pitch is thrown.

[LynneSin]

9. You'll think they will last that long

:rofl:

[abq e streeter]

24. I'll have you know that they held Atlanta to only 8 earned runs in 1& 1/3 innings today

[Rambis]

38. Cubs DOA

Cubs suck for 102nd year in a row and in other news water is wet:cry:

[flvegan]

6. The hopelessness in this thread is hilarious.

:rofl:

[LynneSin]

11. We're democrats - we've had alot of practice of dealing with hopelessness

:rofl:

[gratuitous]

7. I don't follow Major League Baseball

I'm a Royals fan. I don't think they've been mathematically eliminated yet, but I'll go with "Wait til next year" now, before all the tiresome fans of other teams show up.

[MrCoffee]

8. Houston Astros - Middle of July

[cloudbase]

14. I don't know.

I think the 'stros will have a so-so first half, make a run for the playoffs in the second half, but do a September swan dive and miss out on the wild card.

[MrCoffee]

19. No one can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory quite like the 'Stros

[ceile]

27. amen.

[GoCubsGo]

40. Except maybe the Cubs.

Going to be another one of those years...

[WolverineDG]

46. lol I didn't see your response

so I'll add mine here: as usual, they'll fold like a card table.

hope springs eternal....

dg

[SoxFan]

13. Red Sox...and they won't be eliminated!

Win the World Series in 6 games over the Phillies. Dustin Pedroia is series MVP.

[LynneSin]

15. You're such a loser - go start your own thread about World Series predictions

this is for the rest of us. The 20+ teams that really suck!

[flvegan]

31. This is the correct answer.

[MissMillie]

37. I say 5 games, but yeah....

this is it.

[BeachBaby]

47. Sooooooo close.

Phillies win the World Series in 6 games over the BoSox. Roy Halladay is series MVP.

[TZ]

16. April 25th....

:rofl:

[LynneSin]

17. Seriously you need to lay off the crack pipe

Nats were eliminated back when spring training started

http://mlb.mlb.com/news/boxscore.jsp?gid=2010_04_05_phimlb_wasmlb_1

[tigereye]

22. I feel worse for the Nats than I do for my Pirates...

[Captain Hilts]

29. The Pirates have prettier uniforms. nt

[tigereye]

41. well. that's something!

:rofl:

[flvegan]

30. As soon as Obama stepped off the mound today...your season ended.

[LynneSin]

35. Maybe the Nats can recruit him to play for their team

I mean at this point they have to take what they can get

[charlie and algernon]

33. Your Nats did give Halladay a nice challenge, for the first inning

then the Phils soundly thumped them.


But hey, you got Obama to wear a Nationals jacket and I got a very nice Nationals BP hat that I'll definitely wear around town.

[Wapsie B]

18. Minnesota Twins-late October

[TheMightyFavog]

23. The Milwaukee Brewers.

Their season will end with a big-ass parade through the streets of Milwaukee, Commisoner's Trophy in tow.

[PufPuf23]

25. Giants - September eliminated

I have been a Giants fan and saw at least one game a season from 1959 to 2003 but haven't been to the BA or any city over 100,000 since.

I own one baseball - a 1965 team ball with 5 hall of famers (Mays, McCovey, Perry, Marichal, Warren Spahn) plus the first Japanese player in the majors - Murakami (sp) signed in Japanese - my parents were doing some business and were taken into the dugout on their business trip. Aside from a Giants hat and the annual T-shirt I buy that is all my baseball paraphenalia. Have the games on satelite TV. My Mom gave away my pre-adolescent baseball cards when I was away at boarding school in HS in the late 60s. grrr

[taterguy]

26. The Brooklyn Dodgers

Eliminated when that greed-head Walter O'Malley moved them to fucking Kalifornia.

Or maybe it was the fault of a bone-headed city.

I don't remember who I'm supposed to be pissed at.

[NewJeffCT]

28. The Yankees - they will not be eliminated

They're going to repeat.

[Rambis]

42. Evil

[JTG of the PRB]

32. Colorado Rockies, and I think this is our year.

No need to think about when we'll be eliminated, because it ain't happening. :P

[charlie and algernon]

34. Marlins - September 1st, Orioles - July 1st

Orioles could be in it by the All-Star break, but not much further.


Marlins will be in contention for the wild card late and could very well make the post season.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

36. Atlanta Braves and I think

they will finish 3rd in the National League East behind the Phillies and the Marlins.

[MilesColtrane]

39. Texas Rangers: out on October 1st when the Angels beat them to clinch the AL West

[Bennyboy]

43. Los Gigantes! November sometime!!!!

Timmy was fire yesterday. Cain today and then the pitching gets good! looks like they got some more sticks than last year...

[WolverineDG]

44. The Astros

who will, as usual, fold like a card table.

dg

[WildEyedLiberal]

45. The Cardinals will choke in the NLDS or NLCS, again

They seem to forget how to play baseball as soon as the postseason starts.

[mvd]

48. Phils - not eliminated

Might as well be confident after the last two years.

[LynneSin]

49. But here is what really scares me about the Phils this year

Something like the last 5 years they have not won their opening day game and yet went on to have some of the best seasons ever including a world series.

I believe is streaks and I'm a bit worried that the 11-1 blowout of the Nats might be the beginning of the end for the Phils

:cry:

[mvd]

52. It's a new era now - I don't think that matters

:hi:

[mvd]

54. BTW, the Orioles are my 2nd favorite team

I see them going around .500 - better than last year.

Even if my Phils fail to make the playoffs for some reason, they get a pass for a while because of their championship. The Eagles are a different story, as they have never won a Super Bowl.

[Broken_Hero]

50. Mariners,

and they will win it all...mark my words.

[JonLP24]

51. Colorado Rockies... They will be eliminated this week

Sorry I won't jinx my team by saying they're going all the way.

[MiddleFingerMom]

53. My favorite team...

.
...is The Black Sox.
.
Their elimination date from playoff contention?
.
1919.
.
Go Sox!!!
