S*** Fans of Every MLB Team Say
It's hard to believe it, but we already sit just 51 days away from baseball's Opening Day.
As teams set their sights on spring training, fans set their sights on expectations and predictions for the upcoming season.
In the spirit of the S*** New Yorkers Say and S*** Bostonians Say videos that are taking You Tube by storm, here is some stuff that MLB fans might just be saying this season.
As always, feel free to chime in with anything you think your fellow fans (or hated rival fans) may be spouting out in 2012.
Arizona Diamondbacks
1 of 30Let's do it again, D-Backs!
After coming so close to knocking off the Milwaukee Brewers in last year's NLDS, the Diamondbacks gave their fans plenty of reason to come back in 2012.
By all accounts, it looks like they will. After drawing only 10,000 people during last year's Fan Fest, the team drew a record 25,000 fans this year, showing that the fans are clearly behind a team that should be players in the NL West once again.
Atlanta Braves
2 of 30We're still best in the East.
After a very strong overall 2011 season, the Atlanta Braves fell off the map in the fall, ultimately coming up short of postseason play once again.
With the Phillies still looking like a dominating force in the division and the Marlins and Nationals buying up talent to become immediate contenders, the Braves still have plenty of young talent and can compete again as long as they learn from last year's mistakes.
Baltimore Orioles
3 of 30Red Sox, Yankees, Rays and Blue Jays STINK!
You'll see a bit of a theme in the AL East slides, as the league's toughest division makes for some fierce rivalries, biggest payrolls and best records.
With all that going on, it's been hard for the Baltimore Orioles to climb out of the cellar in the division, as they've finished fourth or fifth in the division 13 of the past 14 years.
Boston Red Sox
4 of 30Yankees SUCK!
I have to believe we'll never see the day when Red Sox fans aren't born and raised to hate the Yankees.
The lifting of the curse of the Bambino may have subdued some of the rage, but the rivalry will always be one of the fiercest in all of sports.
Chicago Cubs
5 of 30Please be the answer, Theo.
As one of the most pained fan bases in professional sports, the Chicago Cubs faithful have been waiting for generations to see their team hoist the World Series hardware.
They've failed time and time again with tweaks to their organization but are hopeful that pulling talented executive Theo Epstein away from the Red Sox is the answer to their problems.
Chicago White Sox
6 of 30Dammit, Dunn!
With manager Ozzie Guillen, Carlos Quentin and Mark Buehrle no longer in White Sox uniforms, things will surely be different from 2011.
One thing fans really hope is different from last year is the performance of high-priced slugger Adam Dunn.
He came into Chicago with high hopes but failed to live up to any of them in 2011, putting together his worst career season by a long shot and losing the faith of White Sox nation in the process.
Cincinnati Reds
7 of 30So long, Prince and Pujols!
The Cincinnati Reds have done an admirable job of becoming a competitive team once again, and with a gutsy acquisition of Mat Latos, they'll look to make waves in the NL Central in 2012.
It won't hurt that two of the game's best sluggers are no longer there to torture them so many times throughout the year.
Cleveland Indians
8 of 30Would the real Ubaldo Jimenez please stand (and show) up?
The Cleveland Indians made a great move in bringing Ubaldo Jimenez into the fold before last year's trade deadline. Even though his performance wasn't up to his standards and the team ultimately fell short of a postseason berth, they're hoping he returns to form in 2012.
Colorado Rockies
9 of 30It's our turn.
After watching the San Francisco Giants work their way through the NL West in 2010 en route to a World Series Championship and the Arizona Diamondbacks make just their second postseason appearance in nine years this past season, the Colorado Rockies have an itch to head there themselves.
They've made improvements on the mound and in the lineup, and if their acquisitions live up to the billing, they'll certainly be in contention.
Detroit Tigers
10 of 30The roar has been restored!
OK, that statement may be more fitting for the Detroit Lions, given their climb back into postseason play.
But the Detroit Tigers are ready to roar once again in 2012 after nearly making it to the World Series in 2011. With Prince Fielder in tow, they appear to have the inside track on the AL Central for the foreseeable future.
Houston Astros
11 of 30Is Jeff Luhnow going to make things any better?
There wasn't a team with a worse record in 2011 than the Houston Astros, as the team eclipsed the dreaded 100-loss mark.
Astros GM Ed Wade was one of the casualties of a down season, and as the team places Jeff Luhnow in charge of turning things around, fans have to wonder how long it will be before the team can return to respectability.
Kansas City Royals
12 of 30Things are finally coming around!
Kansas City Royals fans have endured some very bad seasons of late, as the team has lost 95 games or more seven times in the last 11 years, four times losing 100 or more.
The 2012 season promises to be different for the Royals, as a number of prospects appear ready to emerge, and with K.C. playing host to the midsummer classic, fans should have plenty to be excited about.
Los Angeles Angels
13 of 30When is our championship parade?
After making two of the biggest acquisitions of baseball's offseason in signing Albert Pujols and C.J. Wilson to mega contracts, fans in Los Angeles are flying high as the Angels appear poised to contend for a World Series title.
It'll be a tall task, as other powers in this league have made moves to improve, and we can't help but remember other seasons in which teams' big-name deals have failed to equate to a title.
Los Angeles Dodgers
14 of 30Would somebody please buy this team?!
Now that it's clear Frank McCourt won't be in the picture for the L.A. Dodgers, fans are hoping that someone steps in and takes the storied franchise back to where they belong.
We've heard names ranging from Mark Cuban to Joe Torre mentioned, and while it doesn't look like a decision is imminent, any ownership group will undoubtedly provide more stability than the previous.
Miami Marlins
15 of 30Goodbye, football stadium!
The picture pretty much sums it up for fans in south Florida, as the Marlins make their move into a new stadium in less than two months after years of playing in an unfit facility.
They'll have a completely new look, as Ozzie Guillen, Mark Buehrle, Heath Bell and Jose Reyes highlight a team hoping to make some waves in the NL East.
Milwaukee Brewers
16 of 30We won't really miss Prince...
During the entire proceedings surrounding the contract of Prince Fielder this offseason, it became apparent that the Milwaukee Brewers had moved on and were looking elsewhere to fill the void.
Fielder certainly cashed in with the Tigers, and while the Brewers did add Aramis Ramirez to the mix, they'll certainly feel the loss as they appear to be heading into the first third of the season without Ryan Braun in the lineup.
Minnesota Twins
17 of 30The 2011 season was a fluke; we'll return to form in 2012...right?
The Minnesota Twins came dangerously close to becoming just the second team in league history to lose 100 games with a $100 million payroll, notching a 63-99 record.
Losses were blamed on chemistry, freak occurrences and, of course, the injury situations surrounding Justin Morneau and Joe Mauer.
Fans are confident they'll be back to their old selves in 2012, but with many question marks on the roster and a relatively strong AL Central, you have to wonder if it could be more of the same.
New York Mets
18 of 30Please Stay, David.
The New York Mets faithful didn't get their wish granted this offseason, as Jose Reyes did indeed leave, taking his talents to South Beach to play for the Marlins.
Now the attention turns to making sure David Wright stays in a Mets uniform. The organization has said it won't be moving Wright, but you can't put too much faith into that statement given the mismanagement in recent seasons.
New York Yankees
19 of 30Red Sox SUCK!
As is the case with the Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees fans have always and will always hate their Boston counterparts.
The supremacy will always be debated, although the 27 World Series titles sitting in the Yankees' trophy case quiets some of that noise.
Oakland Athletics
20 of 30Who's left?
The Oakland Athletics held a fire sale of some sorts this offseason, with David DeJesus, Josh Willingham, Gio Gonzalez, Andrew Bailey, Craig Breslow and Trevor Cahill all playing in new cities in 2012.
They got some decent players in return on their trades, though it'll certainly take some time for fans in Oakland to get used to so many new faces.
Philadelphia Phillies
21 of 30This is our year!
Phillies fans are if nothing else, prideful. After their team put together a very strong 2011 regular season, the wheels came off in the NLDS, as the Phils would be one and done, succumbing to the eventual World Series champion St. Louis Cardinals.
It was definitely a blow for fans who always have the highest of high expectations for their team, but when the dust settled, the Phillies still had a championship-caliber team looking into 2012, and with free-agent acquisitions in the mix they'll once again be contending for a title.
Pittsburgh Pirates
22 of 30Why won't this organization spend some money?!?!
The Pittsburgh Pirates do have a few young players on their roster who show genuine promise and could be superstars some day. The only question is: Where will they go once they become these stars?
The Pirates organization had a few decisions to make this winter, with about $33 million in player options on the table. They declined them and replaced the four player options with $19 million in payroll.
San Diego Padres
23 of 30In Quentin We Trust.
The San Diego Padres have had a somewhat active offseason, seeing their closer Heath Bell depart for South Beach and shipping one of their top prospects off to Chicago as Anthony Rizzo was moved to the Cubs.
They did also add Carlos Quentin into the fold in hopes of rekindling some offensive pop that's needed at Petco. As long as he stays health,y there's no reason to think he won't shine; you just have to wonder how long he'll stick around.
San Francisco Giants
24 of 30Save our stars!
The San Francisco Giants had big plans to contend for a repeat World Series championship in 2011, and while injuries derailed some of those plans, they have high hopes for 2012.
Tim Lincecum has been locked in for the next two years, leaving Matt Cain as the next priority for a contract.
It seems that just as quick as that situation gets resolved, Lincecum will be in need of a long-term deal, and let's not forget about Buster Posey, who will command top dollar as he begins to peak.
Seattle Mariners
25 of 30FELIX! FELIX! FELIX!
Really though, Mariners fans haven't had much else to cheer for, as their offense has been stagnant and they've finished in the bottom two of their division in seven of the past eight seasons.
King Felix Hernandez has been a bright spot for the Mariners, and with Michael Pineda off to the Yankees, he'll continue to be a focal point as the team has the pleasure of facing Albert Pujols more often in 2012.
St. Louis Cardinals
26 of 30We won't really miss Pujols...
The St. Louis Cardinals will definitely start the 2012 season off right as they celebrate their improbable run to a World Series title last fall.
One player who will obviously be missing is Albert Pujols, and while the team replaced his bat with Carlos Beltran, no matter how much any Cards fan could try to play it off, he'll definitely be missed.
Tampa Bay Rays
27 of 30Tropicana SUCKS
Despite having low payrolls on a yearly basis, the Tampa Bay Rays have managed to stay competitive and put a good brand of baseball on the field.
Even though they've made multiple postseason pushes, the Rays have failed to draw fans, finishing in the bottom three for attendance every season between 2001 and 2007.
Texas Rangers
28 of 30C.J. who?
The Texas Rangers came up just shy of a World Series title for the second year in a row last season, and while Rangers fans were no doubt disappointed, the team still looks like contenders in 2012.
The only question mark was C.J. Wilson and his impending free agency. Wilson ultimately opted to follow Albert Pujols to Los Angeles, but rather than feeling the impact, the Rangers made the only logical move, posting a record fee for one of the top foreign pitching prospects of all time.
Toronto Blue Jays
29 of 30Rangers STINK!
Many in baseball feel like the Toronto Blue Jays are ready to take the next step in 2012, getting back into postseason play in the tough AL East if they could just get that one ace in their rotation.
They came devastatingly close this winter, coming up just short in the posting process for Yu Darvish.
Paying such a high price for an unproven pitcher is a risk, so the move may pay off for the Blue Jays, but right now it has to hurt to be that close and come up empty.
Washington Nationals
30 of 30Bring on the East!
The Phillies will undoubtedly be a NL powerhouse once again, and the Miami Marlins have made some noise with the acquisitions they made this offseason.
But the Nationals have had themselves a very strong offseason, bringing in Gio Gonzalez and Edwin Jackson to fortify a rotation that already boasts one of the league's best.
If Bryce Harper can live up to the lofty expectations set forth for him, the Nats could make some serious noise in the division.
