    There are some great posters in this forum, one of my favorites on this site, any of you baseball fans? A's? Giants? We have some baseball forums that could use some activity and I'd love to get things moving with some of the posters here. Stop by your favorite team's forum and tell us what you think of them at the moment and what they need to do in the future.

    I use to be a huge Giants fan but I've pretty much devoted my energy to the Warriors. But, I do follow them, just not as much as before. Maybe I can drop in for a few discussions.

    I'm a big fan of watching Tim Lincecum battle and then pray for each win despite every effort being made by the rest of this awful bullpen and management to undermine his amazing skills.

    You have a great taste in teams. Warriors, Giants, and Raiders. Same as me.

    I'm a Red Sox fan first but I'll discuss any major league baseball team out there, as I loosely follow pretty much everyone after the Sox.

    I love CelticKing. :)

    I don't watch baseball much. I used to follow the A's, but they got no budget to make it past using farm team players. Don't get me wrong, they avoided some really overpaid players, but I felt some pitchers should have been kept. Also the Eric Chavez thing is looking like a bad deal, but it's just bad luck. I'm really liking Kurt Suzuki for what he's doing for the A's now and he's so young.

    I like watching the giants a little more when they had Barry Bonds. He was like the Shaq of slugging %. Pitchers feared him. Without him the giants are just not as fun to watch and the ballpark becomes meaningless unless we can find a high volume home run hitter than can also get on base and steal bases and is a golden glover. I wish the Giants could have gotten Vladimir Guerrero as Bonds' heir presumptive. I guess Rowand is pretty good. I find it awesome that Dave Roberts is actually part Japanese even though he looks mostly all Black from a distance.
