Poll question: Which surprise MLB team start is real?

[TZ]

1. I voted for...

Boston...:hide: and before the snark storm starts I expect that Nationals aren't on this poll because no one is REALLY surprised at their 0-7 start....

[charlie and algernon]

2. yeah, maybe not them at 0-7

It'd be a much bigger suprise if they had 5 wins at this point.

6. did you do this because i snarked your team yesterday?

come september when the sox are 1st in their division (first in love, first in the minds of america, and first in the american league east)you will remember this poll and wonder where your mind was.

3. I went with your guys.

They look really good. :)

4. The Mariners

Griffey's return is a psychological boost whose impact is just beginning to be noticed.

[charlie and algernon]

5. and that was all without Ichiro

who had a great first game last night. In that division, they have a real shot at the playoffs.

World Fuckin Champions!!!!!

16. +1.

9. Marlins are 8-1, baby!

Next stop.....um.....I won't mention it due to the terms of the Tommy_Carcetti-TZ Chuggo Week Armistice of April 2009.

[TZ]

10. Hmmm

Well I'm trying to think who'd a rather see the Nats get their first win agaisnt the Phillies or the Marlins...:dilemma:

[flvegan]

11. Marlins. What a dominant start.

Also, Cleveland is 3-7 after just now finishing the destruction of the Yankees in their home opener.

:rofl:

[azmouse]

12. Dbacks are 3-6 after 9 frickin' home games...

I'm surprised they did that good. They suck.

[Drunken Irishman]

13. It's been a few years since the Marlins won it all, so they're due for another WS.

:eyes:

[MadBadger]

14. The Orioles at 6-3 should be on the list...and no they arent for real.

They sure can hit...but their pitching staff is mediocre at best.

[gblady]

15. The M's.....

soooooo fun to watch!
It's like '95 and '01 rolled up into one.
Last year they were not even watchable...
so pathetic I simply couldn't stomach it!

I think it's for real!
Great chemistry...new MG, Manager,
lots of new faces...lots of old baggage out the door.

some healthy competitiveness between
the Griff and Ichi...it's all good!

17. Man the Angels have had one of the worst starts to a season ever.

A fan was killed on opening day, they lost one of their starting pitchers in a car crash, and they got in a fight with the Red Sox. And this is only the first week. :yoiks:

[gblady]

18. yeah....

they have had a rough go...I'm sure it is affecting their game right now.
RIP, Nick....such a tragedy.

[nickgutierrez]

20. Angels, if I have to pick one.

Really, I'd go with, "It's April 16th, we don't know jack yet," but I see the A's winning that division.
