MLB Saison 2010

[Bonsai]

Nachdem das Spring Training in vollem Gange ist und ESPN America gestern das erste Spiel live gezeigt hat, ist es wohl langsam an der Zeit die neue Saison einzulaeuten. Ein erstes aktuelles Ranking:


1. New York Yankees

Is this really even a question of who was going here?
Headlined by Mark Teixeira, Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter, CC Sabathia, AJ Burnett, Javier Vazquez, and, of course, Mariano Rivera, the reigning World Series Champions still boast the best offense (even sans-Damon) and closer in baseball in addition to a top three rotation. As long as they can stay healthy, I fully expect the “Bronx Bombers” to be (at the very least) a contender for the ultimate October prize.


2. Philadelphia Phillies

Their rotation beyond Roy Halladay and Cole Hamels might not be much to yell about, but with the likes of Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, Jayson Werth, Jimmie Rollins and Shane Victorino, this team has more than enough offense to make up for any shortcomings that may show 3-5 in the rotations.
Provided that Hamels can find that incredible stuff he displayed in ’08 when he posted a 3.09 ERA in 227.1 innings, Halladay is Halladay, and the modern-day murderers row can do its due diligence at the Bank, this team should be playoff bound in ’10.


3. Boston Red Sox

I’m not buying the talk of the Sawx having “four aces” in Beckett, Lester, Lackey and Daisuke Matsuzaka (Dice-K) because they only have two true aces in Josh Beckett and Jon Lester.
I am not buying, however, that they have an upper-echelon rotation in the American League and a plus defensive and offensive team.
And did I mention that Jonathan Papelbon is still their closer?
With additions in center (Mike Cameron), at third (Adrian Beltre), at short (Marco Scutaro) and some nifty position-swapping (Jacoby Ellsbury to left), I see the Red Sox as the primary suitor for the AL Wild Card in 2010.


4. St. Louis Cardinals

This is one of the best-managed and most well-rounded clubs in all of baseball.
Headlined by dual aces in Chris Carpenter and Adam Wainwright, Matt Holliday in left, one of the premier defensive backstops in Yadier Molina, and the best player of the last 25 years in Albert Pujols, the Cards are stacked (pun kinda intended).
As long as Ryan Franklin can even resemble the 38-save man he was last season and Colby Rasmus can continue his upswing towards the incredible upside he offers, then I think you’re looking at one of the premier teams of the National League.


5. Seattle Mariners

Go ahead and name any move this team made this offseason.
Be it signing Chone Figgins, trading for Cliff Lee, extending King Felix Hernandez, acquiring defensive whiz Casey Kotchman, or whatever else you please, and you’ll get the same answer from me: excellent move.
This is a team that features premiere defenders at first, third, short, right, and in center and a one-two punch in the rotation that is nearly unrivaled in baseball.
As long as their offense can slap some extra base hits around Safeco and maintain a clean bill of health, this is the best team in the American League West.


6. Chicago White Sox

This pick may be a bit surprising.
But, with a rotation anchored by Jake Peavy, Mark Buehrle, and John Danks along with a lineup highlighted by rising stars in Gordon Beckham, Alexi Ramirez and Tyler Flowers (watch out for this kid—power, power and more power acquired in the Javier Vazquez deal back in the ’08-’09 offseason), I am enamored with the promise of this crew.
Health for their starters, as with most teams, will be key; in addition to Bobby Jenks’ return to his old form (which, admittedly, is in a bit of question).
But, as long as too much doesn’t go array, I expect this team to capture the AL Central crown (in a tight battle with No. 10 on this list).


7. Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim

This doesn’t stem from as much from regression (which did happen, a little) as much as progression from all of the teams around them in baseball.
Going into 2010, the Halos find themselves sans-Lackey, -Figgins, and –DH extraordinaire Vladimir Guerrero with additions of Brandon Wood, Hideki Matsui and Joel Piniero.
The latter three can all do their jobs, but losing players at key positions, as the Angels did, and expecting equal production from (save maybe Matsui), essentially, less talented athletes is asking a lot.
Still, with Brian Fuentes (the MLB saves leader from 2009), Fernando Rodney, Ervin Santana, Joe Saunders, Jered Weaver, Kendry Morales and Torii Hunter, this team has a ton of upside to combat the downgrades they experienced this offseason.


8. Tampa Bay Rays

You almost feel bad for this team.
Great young talent from top to bottom coupled, for, probably, the first time in their history, with legitimate veteran leadership should make this team a real playoff contender.
But, alas, this group is stuck with the big spenders of the AL East in Boston and New York and lacks anything resembling a strong fanbase.
You just hope they can retain their rising stars (Longo has already been checked off of this list) like David Price, Wade Davis and (at some point this season) Desmond Jennings so as to build upon their solid management foundation—as the nearly-imminent departures of Carl Crawford and Carlos Pena this offseason approach.
If the Rays can get (and stay) hot while the Sox or Yanks hit a skid, then you’re looking at legitimate AL playoff team. If not, then Tampa Bay is probably waving bye-bye to Crawford and Pena on July 31. (Trade deadline).


9. Colorado Rockies

I will admit I had this team a lot lower than this when I started filling out my rankings.
But, upon further review, I have found a lot to like about this group.

In the outfield, there is speedster Dexter Fowler, power man Brad Hawpe and a fusion between the two with Carlos Gonzalez.
The infield features veteran Todd Helton and emerging-to-established star Troy Tulowitzki; and the staff is highlighted by Aaron Cook, Houston Street, Ubaldo Jimenez and Jorge “finds a way to win” De La Rosa.
This combination looks very, very good…and in that ballpark, watch out.


10. Minnesota Twins

Don’t get me wrong here; I love the makeup of the Minnesota Twins.
From the all-around guru, Joe Mauer, to Justin Morneau, to Orlando Hudson, to the incredible upside of a relatively young rotation, and every well-taught Twin product (as they all are, Minnesota can raise some ballplayers) in-between, there’s not much missing from this club.
However, there is one piece that is questionable, to say the most, for this season. And that piece is the one that really puts the Twins into an elite category.
That piece is Joe Nathan.
With him now officially out for the season, the Twins have a massive hole at the end of their bullpen that will need to be filled before they can once again be considered “elite.”

 

[Bonsai]

11. Atlanta Braves

The Atlanta Braves were well within the Wild Card hunt last season before sliding the last week of the season in 2009.
This year, in venerable manager Bobby Cox’s final season, they still boast a stout rotation anchored by up-and-coming right-handers Jair Jurrjens and Tommy Hanson. They have a strong bullpen (featuring Peter Moylan, Eric O’Flaherty, Takashi Saito and Billy Wagner) and an offense (headlined by the second-best offensive catcher Brian McCann and rising shortstop Yunel Escobar) that should be able to support the strong starting staff, provided that they approach their incredible upside. And that Jason Heyward lives up to the hype he’s been garnering in Spring Training.
But, with aging and somewhat “brittle” players in Troy Glaus, Saito, Wagner and Chipper Jones being relied upon at key positions, “provided…” remains a massive question mark.
This team has more than enough to stick around right to the end, and enough to take their division if even a few things go their way in the injury department.
But, they still have enough (not a ton) depth to overcome some lineup woes and pieces in the minors to trade if desperation sets in.


12. San Francisco Giants

You know what, with Tim Lincecum, Matt Cain, Jonathan Sanchez, Barry Zito and (likely) Madison Bumgarner, I’ll take my chances with a weak offense.
The Giants have a well-documented “issue” with offense and, to be frank, Aubrey Huff really didn’t help that much this offseason.
However, this was a near Wild Card team and with one more year of experience for its younger starters (and, of course, the Panda” Pablo Sandoval), I expect quite a bit out of this group.


13. Florida Marlins

This is a team that’s always on the brink of a great run.
And with pieces like Hanley Ramirez, Josh Johnson (these two locked up long-term), Dan Uggla, Chris Coghlan and Cameron Maybin raring to go in 2010, there are a lot of reasons to like this club.
If this group can continue to climb up the maturity ladder (which includes not dumping veterans), then they’ll be a definite contender in the National League East.


14. Texas Rangers

This is a club that has always featured one of the better offenses in the league—and that shouldn’t change with Elvis Andrus, Nelson Cruz, Ian Kinsler, Michael Young and Julio Bourbon penciled in the order.
But, last year, they figured out the pitching aspect of the game as guys like Scott Feldman, Tommy Hunter and Kevin Millwood managed to post the seventh best staff ERA in the American League in 2009.
This year, the Rangers have, essentially replaced Millwood with Rich Harden and are sporting Neftali Feliz and a healthy Frank Francisco.
The big X-Factor here, though, is Josh Hamilton.
If he’s healthy, he makes this team a lot better. If he’s not (which has always been a problem that has plagued him), then there is a gaping hole in the Rangers’ lineup.
If the Hamilton situation works out and the Harden gamble pays off, then this is a club that could make a serious run at the AL West crown. If not, then I just don’t think they have what it takes to be considered “legitimate” contenders.
Oh, and just to prove I can spell it: S-A-L-T-A-L-A-M-A-C-C-H-I-A.


15. Los Angeles Dodgers

Matt Kemp, Andre Ethier, Manny Ramirez and Rafael Furcal make this a well above-average team at the plate.
However, outside of Chad Billingsley and Clayton Kershaw (both of whom had issues last year; Billingsley a little of everything and Kershaw with walks), there isn’t too much to shout about in the rotation.
If they can overcome that, they have enough to make it to the postseason in the ‘pen with Broxton and company and in the aforementioned lineup. I just doubt whether that can happen.


16. Detroit Tigers

There is a lot to like in this team.
Justin Verlander and Rick Porcello set up a nice front-two and Miguel Cabrera, Johnny Damon, Brandon Inge and Austin Jackson (hey, he’s batting .350 this spring with a homer, two steals and a 6:7 B:K ratio at only 22) set up a very solid foundation for an offense.
However, there is also a lot to question.
Will Dontrelle Willis make his contract look even a little good? Will Jeremy Bonderman revert to his 2006 form? Will Scott Sizemore serve as a viable replacement to Placido Polanco? Can Magglio Ordonez revert to his 20-homer a year form?
And for that reason, I cannot put this team any higher than this, but if something in those questions can lean the Tigers’ way, then there is a ton of potential for the club in Detroit.


17. Milwaukee Brewers

The Brew Crew has, arguably, the best 3-4 punch in all of baseball with Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder.
Their 1-2 punch in the rotation, Yovani Gallardo and Randy Wolf, isn’t half-bad, either.
Outside of those two headlines, you have solid to above-average players/pitchers like Carlos Gomez, Corey Hart, Rickie Weeks, Doug Davis and Alcides Escobar scattered about the field.
But, with Greg Zaun, a primary backup in 15 previous seasons, behind the plate full-time, iffy backend starters and a questionable lead-up to an aging Trevor Hoffman, you have to question some of the primary pieces of this playoff-hopeful team.
Overall, the Brewers should hold their own in a very weak NL Central, but simply just do not have enough, for my money, to make a serious run at the postseason.


18. Arizona Diamondbacks

The Diamondbacks possess fine duos in the two “big” baseball categories.
Brandon Webb (if he’s the old Webb) and Dan Haren in the rotation, along with Justin Upton and Mark Reynolds in the lineup.
Complementing those players, Arizona has an eclectic mix of hopeful “rebounders” (Conor Jackson, Chris Young and Stephen Drew), streaky players (Adam LaRoche and Kelly Johnson), and guys that need to prove their worth as major leaguers (Ian Kennedy and Edwin “was last season a fluke” Jackson).
The talent is there for Arizona to make a run at the NL West crown.
But, a lot is going to have to go their way in terms of players reaching their full potentials (not just possible injuries), which is going to be asking a lot given the recent issues of many of the guys on the club.


19. Chicago Cubs

Despite the outpouring of cash into guys like Derrek Lee, Aramis Ramirez, Carlos Zambrano and Alfonso Soriano (all of whom are now a year older), the Cubs found themselves in second place in the NL Central with a meager 83 wins.
This season, the club finds itself (as they were throughout last season) with a questionable closer, an aging rotation and only league-average players where the big bucks aren’t invested.
The Cubbies are on the verge of being rebuilt and 2010 doesn’t look like it’s going to be much different than most of the past 101 years, postseason glory-less.


20. New York Mets

Let’s see. Carlos Beltran and the Mets are (or, as we have been led to believe, were) at ends. Omar Minaya failed to address the rotation and opted to sign Jason Bay (to play in a terrible hitter’s park). Jose Reyes has a thyroid issue.
Yep, welcome to the New York Mess.
Citi Field was not kind to the once proud sluggers of Queens and the staff behind Johan Santana is not playoff-caliber, to say the most.
This team, despite its payroll and talent on the field, lacks the organization in the clubhouse and in the front office necessary to be considered “real.”

 

[Bonsai]

21. Oakland A’s

The A’s are always a team to watch out for, and this year should be no different.
They likely won’t be of a division-winning caliber, but they have pieces in Andrew Bailey, Ben Sheets (if he can get a grip on his stuff of old), a healthy Eric Chavez, speedster Rajai Davis and free agent addition Coco Crisp to ruin some team’s season in the AL West.


22. Baltimore Orioles

The Orioles are a team on the rise.
All around the diamond, there are younger guys like Adam Jones, Nick Markakis, Nolan Reimold and Matt Wieters that are either coming off of big years or look poised to have a big year.
The rotation also has some solid starters thrown in with Brian Matusz, Chris Tillman and Brad Bergesen that could become legitimate “studs” down the line.
Throw in some veteran talent in the forms of Millwood, MLB doubles champion Brian Roberts, familiar face Miguel Tejada, and you have a club that is poised to make some steps in its player development this season.
Odds are, they won’t make too much noise in the AL East, but this is a club to watch out for in 2011 and beyond, for sure.


23. Cleveland Indians

Talk about a fall from grace. The 2007 version of the Indians was only outs away from facing the Rockies in the World Series.
The ’08 version saw the departure of C.C. Sabathia and was held together by the feel-good story of Cliff Lee.
And the ’09 version saw Grady Sizemore succumb to numerous injuries while dumping the reigning Cy Young winner, Lee and All-Star catcher Victor Martinez.
In 2010, the Tribe is leaning on the hopes of big time breakouts from youngsters Matt LaPorta, Justin Masterson, Luis Valbuena and Michael Brantley, rebounds from Sizemore, Jhonny Peralta and Travis “too big of a contract” Hafner, as well as continued success from Shin-Soo Choo, Asdrubal Cabrera and Russell “hope he’s just not a flash in the pan” Branyan under the leadership of new manager Manny Acta.
The club is headed in the right direction with this influx of youngsters, but 2010 just does not look like their year—especially in the supremely talented AL Central.


24. Cincinnati Reds

The Reds are really hard to evaluate.
Their supreme young talent (Joey Votto, Edinson Volquez and Jay Bruce) has yet to maintain a clean bill of health over an entire season and the pitching staff has yet to live up to its potential (Jason Harang, Benson Arroyo, Johnny Cueto and Homer Bailey have been less than stellar).
If those guys can perform at a consistent level as a collective unit, while the “superstars” like Brandon Phillips and the aging Scott Rolen maintain their career numbers (and, for the latter, hustle) then this team could actually be very good.
Throw in the potential of flame-throwing lefty Aroldis Chapman either at the beginning of the season or come June, and this team could, like others in this area of the rankings, make some serious noise—even if they wouldn’t be legitimate playoff contenders.


25. Houston Astros

Save rising stars Michael Bourn and Hunter Pence, the Houston Astros are old.
Lance Berkman is 34, Roy Oswalt is 32, Carlos Lee is 33 (34 this June), Kaz Matsui is 34 and Pedro Feliz is about to turn 35.
And their “young” players expected to get a shot this season aren’t exactly “supreme talents,” as JR Towles has never found his stroke in his big league opportunities and Tommy Manzella is a career .269 minor league hitter.
For a lot of guys on this team (who have stuck around for mostly no other reason than because owner Drayton McLane feels an obligation to keep them around), this is going to be one of their last whoo-rahs.
And maybe that can serve as some sort of motivation to the ‘stros.
But, this club just does not stack up that well to other teams around the National League.


26. Toronto Blue Jays

The Toronto Blue Jays weren’t all that impressive last season—finishing fourth in the AL East with a mere 75 wins.
And that was with the best right-hander in the game, Roy Halladay.
This year, the Jays will be looking for Adam Lind to repeat his ’09 (there’s a pretty good chance of that happening) and for Aaron Hill to do the same (the chances of that are less than Lind’s).
But, even if that were to happen, the Jays simply do not have the pieces to support any kind of winning nature (and Vernon Wells’ contract will impede any efforts to do so in the near future—about 2014 is when the true rebuilding process can begin).


27. Washington Nationals

If only Jim Bowden had built the farm like this regime is attempting to do.
The Nationals already have one of the better offenses in baseball, headlined by power hitters Adam Dunn, Ryan Zimmerman, Josh Willingham and speedster Nyjer Morgan.
The pitching staff is weak, to say the most, but with Stephen Strasburg and Drew Storen on the brink of being on the MLB-ready (the former already is) and Jordan Zimmerman set to return from Tommy John Surgery by midseason, things are looking up.
I just wish I could say the same thing about that defense…*gag*.


28. San Diego Padres

The Padres are young…very young.
The Friars feature only one starter in their projected opening day lineup over age 30 and starting pitchers all aged 31 or younger.
It’s going to take a whole lot of maturing to get this group “ready” to support the soon-to-be free agent Adrian Gonzalez in a playoff run.
And that’s something that’s just not likely to happen in the year 2010.


29. Kansas City Royals

Let’s keep this profile short.
They signed Jason Kendall, a soon-to-be 36-year-old, to a two-year, $6 million deal.
That epitomizes what’s wrong with this club: overpaying players who don’t fill needs.
Makes you feel sorry for Joakim Soria and Billy Butler, right?


30. Pittsburgh Pirates

Let’s look for some positives: Ryan Doumit is a solid starting catcher, Andrew McCutchen looks like a stud and Pedro Alvarez is on the way?
Outside of those guys, Akinori Iwamura (and that’s a bit of a maybe), and the bit (or more) of promise Brad Lincoln offers, there isn’t much more to ogle at.
This team always seems to be lacking and a 18th straight losing season seems to be in order.

Ich habe gestern für ne Stunde in das Spring Training Spiel reingeschaut. Macht definitiv Lust auf mehr auch wenn es natürlich um nichts ging. Schade, dass A-Rod und Jeter nicht dabei waren. Es hat mich schwer gewundert, dass Hamels und AJ so viele Runs zugelassen haben. So haben sie sich das bei aller Irrelevanz bestimmt nicht vorgestellt.

Die Phillies dürften in der grottigen NL nicht zu schlagen sein. In der AL kommen da schon die üblichen 3-4 Teams in Frage.

Ich freue mich schon tierisch auf Ozzie Guilléns Ausraster

 

[Bonsai]

So grottig ist die NL in meinen Augen nicht. Klar, Philly ist wieder der haushohe Favorit. Aber auch die Cards und die Dodgers werden diese Saison ein genauso gewichtiges Woertchen mitreden. Und "meine" Reds sind mal wieder die potentielle Cinderella Story. Wie letzte Saison. Und vorletzte Saison. Wobei es sich diese Saison wirklich bewahrheiten koennte. So ein Verletzungspech wie letztes Jahr kann es nicht schon wieder geben.

Ozzie hat man ja leider von Clubseite aus das Twittern verboten

Und das Spiel gestern hat wirklich Laune gemacht. Da juckts doch nochmal in den Fingern ... Hehe ... Hamels hat so schlecht nicht gepitcht. Ist halt im 4. eingebrochen. Normal in der Phase. AJ hatte man allerdings einen gebrauchten Tag abgedreht. Und fast jeden Abend jetzt ein Spiel live ... Ick freu mir

 

[Ede]

Ozzie hat man ja leider von Clubseite aus das Twittern verboten

Diese Spielverderber
Aber machen wir uns nichts vor. Ozzie wird einen Weg finden

Die Red Sox wollen es dieses Jahr mit "Pitching und Defense" richten. Da bin ich aber mal gespannt. Außerdem wird interessant zu beobachten, wieviele Spiele der Twins in ihrem neuen open air Ballpark dem Wetter zum Opfer fallen, vor allem im April/Mai...

 

[Bonsai]

Ich glaube die BoSox koennen sich dieses Jahr lang machen wie sie wollen. Die Yanks sind in der AL East einfach wieder das absolute Maß der Dinge. Das Team ist einfach nur krank. Aber auch (wie eigentlich jede Saison) wird die AL Wild Card in den Osten wandern und dementsprechend wird sich Boston in den Playoffs wiederfinden.

 

[Steve Austin]

Ohne Roy wird es wohl richtig bitter werden diese Saison.

 

[Ede]

180 Millionen für 8 Jahre für Joe Mauer. Mutige aber richtige Entscheidung der Twins. Jetzt wird den Fans und potenziellen Spielern gezeigt, dass sie es ernst meinen und ihre besten Spieler wohl nicht mehr (so leicht) abgeben werden.

 

[Bonsai]

Jo. Denke ich auch. Vor allem auch weil die Twins in der vermeintlich leichtesten Division spielen und im Prinzip jede Saison eine reelle Chance haben die Playoffs zu erreichen.

 

[Bonsai]

Was ich ja total vergessen habe: Nomar hangs up his glove. Jaja ich weiss. Old news is so exciting. Schade trotzdem. Hat leider immer im Schatten von Jerek Dieter und A-Rod gestanden, war aber trotzdem ein sensationeller Kurzstop und ausserdem der letzte der eine echte Chance hatte an Ted Williams´ .400. zu kratzen. Ausserdem hab ich persoenliche Lachflasherinnerungen an ihn. In seiner Rookie Season war ich in Florida um SPring Training zu gucken und kein Stadionsprecher hat es hinbekommen seinen Namen richtig auszusprechen. In diesem Sinne: viel Spass bei ESPN:

 

[Bonsai]

Vorrausichtliche Roster am Opening Day:
AL
NL

 

[Ede]

Keine großen Überraschungen dabei.

Ich bin nur gespannt wie sich das Wunderkind Strasburg schlagen wird wenn er von den Minors geholt wird. Schon fast unmenschlich was da an einer Erwartungshaltung aufgebaut wurde. Sein Glück, dass er bei den Nats spielt die wirklich keine Sau interessiert

 

[Bonsai]

Der gute sah aber im Spring Training schon so ziemlich nach dem aus, was man sich von ihm erwartet. Ziemlich beeindruckend. Wer auch ziemlich beeindruckt hat war Jason Heyward von den Braves. Geht zurecht auch nicht in die Minors. Und nachdem, was man bei ESPN von der Poppertruppe aus Georgia gesehen hat, werden die in der NL ein gehoeriges Woertchen mitreden.

 

[Bonsai]

Wenn Ozzie schon nicht darf, machts halt sein Sohn:

It involves White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen and general manager Ken Williams, two of baseball's strongest personalities. Ozzie's 24-year-old son Oney Guillen resigned his job as the team's video coordinator after Williams noticed that the young Guillen was tweeting inappropriately about the team (one tweet was a little rip on third base coach Joey Cora, another questioned the front office for not locking up catcher A.J. Pierzynski). Then, after leaving the team, Oney (twitter name @OneyRoberto) stepped up his rhetoric presumably in retaliation, complaining about the "geeks'' and "dorks" running the team, and about how they don't know baseball because they "never played'' (Oney, incidentally, batted .140 in the low minors for the White Sox).

Williams said by phone that he didn't believe the young Guillen's tweets were representative of the feelings of Oney's father, which is important, and that Williams' own feelings about his manager hadn't changed based on the younger Guillen's tweets, which is more important. Though what matters most are the feelings of club owner Jerry Reinsdorf, who is well known for his loyalty and is said to love both of his top baseball men. Ozzie's contract goes through 2012, but it might as well be 3012. That's a good thing for him; Guillen's son is apparently uncontrollable. Since leaving the team, he bashed a couple of Williams' high-ranking assistants on WSCR-AM's popular Mully and Hanley show in Chicago and continues to tweet negative opinions about Market, the Chicago restaurant that's partly owned by Williams. Oney Guillen is a free agent. But at some point, you have to wonder whether this may boil over again.

Wer hätte das gedacht

 

[Ede]

Übrigens schade, dass ich Baseball im Gegensatz zur NFL größtenteils alleine schauen muss. Wäre allemal lustiger sich die Spiele mit Gleichgesinnten anzugucken aber die sind hier ziemlich rar gesät. Hier dreht sich so ziemlich alles um Eishockey, dann Handball und auch ein bisschen Fussball.

 

[Bonsai]

Ist aber irgendwo schon verstaendlich. Fuer jemanden, der sich nicht wirklich fuer den Sport interessiert und der keine Ahnung davon hat, ist ein Baseballspiel ne stinklangweilige Angelegenheit.

 

[Bonsai]

Fachfrage: Wer bin ich?



... Ich haette ihn nicht erkannt.
