Color me shocked that CC didn't have his best stuff on opening day...oh wait. Could be a tough time until Yankees get the regulars back.

Meanwhile, in things that make me happy:

I wish Chip Caray would die in a fire.

Freddie Freeman :cool:

Chasin looked great. Brewers got to their middle relievers tho. Wondering if Axford is the 2nd closer to lose his job after Marmol.

Awww. He got better as a cubs broadcaster once he figured out that not every flyout was a "laserbeam". He was also very nice to me when I used to work at the stadium as a kid.

"SWUNG ON AND BELTED......"

Yanks/Sox game was quite the doozy.

Gonna be a rough year until the calvary comes over the hill.

I remember Chip Caray when he'd call Sammy Sosa's home runs using that exact phrase.

When Sosa hit #62 in '98 he was all like:

"SWUNG ON, BELTED! MOVE OVER BIG MAC, YOU'VE GOT COMPANY!"

I like Chip. He's my favorite.

At dawn look to the east

Got home just in time to see the end of the Phillies game

:(

Sorry, screech. Still 161 games left though :)

GO CUBS GO

14 hours and 11 minutes..whoo

Shark is a legit #1 since he learned to trust his two seamer. He's the best kept secret in pitching.

Hooray Baseball!

Hooray To You And Yours!

Pretty disgusting how much trash got on the grass of Yankee Stadium tonight. Also I guess the fans were littering too.

Clayton. Fucking. Kershaw.

I really want to watch swishers debut as an Indian today. Anyone on tpww know of a good streaming website for out of market games?

check your rep

Thanks ill give it a shot come game time.

This will be the only time the trop has more than 20,000 people until the yankees are in town.

Did someone hit 4 HR yesterday or did I dream that?

Break up the Astros!

hate baseball

*until September

I took solace in the fact that Howard didn't strike out or hurt himself to end it.

Cano dumps Boras as his agent, switching to Roc Nation Sports, basically Jay Z

it happened.

I would love it if St Louis wins 0 games this year. That would be a fun streak.

Or until we play the Nationals in the World Series come October.

they'll probably play the Yankees sometime between now and then

You've never been to the Trop, have you?

Not even the Yankees assure 20,000 fans will show up.

And definitely not the 2013 Yankees.

Watching game 4 of the ALDS

I'm nervous watching and I know it goes 13 for the o's to win lol

Nothing like a half empty stadium on opening day...guess they tarp off most seats up high

Dan Connolly @danconnollysun 43s Huge long-haired guy slamming a gong at Tropicana Field is going to rival most annoying thing in MLB this year. Way more than Tim McCarver

Seems weird that the Rays have Kelly Johnson hitting below Jose Molina. I know it's a strategic/run scoring/2nd leadoff guy thing, but it's still odd to me.

Some people on facebook were hitting the panic button yesterday, cmon people.

Been getting a flurry of emails from the Cubs about how "limited" seats are still available for their home opener. Last time they didn't sell out an opener was 1997.

The curse of Frank Drebin has only just begun.

Blood will ooze through the ivy coated walls and locusts will roam the Wrigley outfield.

Lol, walk wieters who had a hr earlier to get to Davis who launched an earl Weaver special to put the Os up 7-3 after giving up a 2-0 lead.

We still got 99 problems and his contract extension is a big one.

Jay Z tryin to make the Yankee hat more famous than a Yankee did.

Joe Maddon Working On Creating Cool New Infield Position

SPORTS NEWS IN BRIEF • Sports • Mlb Baseball • ISSUE 48•16 • Apr 17, 2012

ST. PETERSBURG, FL—Saying he finds the

defensive positioning that has been standard

in baseball for well over 100 years

"staid" and "primitive," Rays manager Joe

Maddon revealed Monday he is deep in the

process of creating an exciting new infield

position for his team. "It's going to be

called 'thwartstop,'" said Maddon, who has

been working on the position off and on since

abandoning efforts to reimagine the left fielder

role in the late 1990s. "I haven't worked out all

the kinks, but basically you use one less

outfielder, and the thwartstop plays in a different part of the infield for each batter, standing in

the exact spot spray charts show the batter is most likely to hit the ball." He later showed

reporters a special prototype thwartstop glove he has been sewing and divulged that he

offered Evan Longoria $500 to star in a instructional video series about the new position that

Maddon is self-producing.

LOL, I read that in a sports story today too.

Called the Rover in my beer leagues

And Carlos Marmol will be in the bullpen.

Darvish perfect through 5 with 10 ks but high pitch count

6 and 12ks, 82 pitches

watching Indians vs Blue Jays via stream tonight. Swish looks good but his bat is cold. Indians pitching is very strong tonight. Good and fast game.

Blue Jays lose lol

I'm happy about that even though I have a soft spot for the Jays.


<----- Joe Carter mark from way back

Why? Is there a big concert or something scheduled?

How many times are these announcers going to say P---- G----. Stop jinxing it.

Utley came to play, but where was the rest of your team last night buddy?

MLB network had the astro broadcast, I'd imagine they want the jinx lol
Extra innings has the Texas broadcast, what I'm watching since its free. I can't believe I've watched more astros baseball this year than Orioles. Not watching them tomorrow even if someone strikes out 26 guys into the 9th

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BGo6R-0CYAAsUW_.jpg

Chris Davis and the orioles Monkey..I don't get it either

Baseball's here, muthafuckas!

Oh noooooooo!

Yu Darvish! Perfect game, no hitter, gone :(

Perfection broken up with 2 outs in the 9th..aww

That has to suck. Darvish has to be pissed as shit right now.

Dick of a manager won't even let him try to get the complete game shutout. He proved what he wanted to prove though that he should have been the opening day starter.

Why is Washington taking him out?

Cause Washington is a piece of shit. He had people warming up in the bullpen in the 8th.

Damn. It's not going to even go down as a shut-out for Yu.

That sucks.

Maybe baseball will show up in Tampa after the O's leave

One game.

Fucking McGee. It's not like the O's dominated.

It was all fine until the 7th.

Chill.

The O's scored 16 runs in 9 games at Tampa last year..they scored 7 today against the cy young winner and one of the better relief pitchers in baseball (who gave up 5 runs, only allowed 12 total last year)

NO. They scored two off Price.

Don't bump him into McGee's first-game madness.

Cepedeshow!

Home run for my player, but the A's down 1-3. Don't care about that.

Morse is still hitting home runs.

Had nine in spring training, has one already.

If the rays defense between longoria and fuld wasn't as good as it was that would have been more than 2. They bailed price out several times.

Woulda, coulda, shoulda.

The fact is they scored two.

Again, one game. McGee will come back down to Earth.

Does this mean all of Droford's Stats are lies? Or did he just not watch the game or check the box score?

Also Droford, make me an offer for Bradley Jr.

That stat came directly from MASN during the game today

The O's scored 7 runs combined: 2 off Price and 5 off McGee. Yes, they scored 7 runs, but, you know.

2 off Price. And McGee had a bad day. The way he put it you'd think Price gave up 5 and got the Loss, while McGee gave up 2 or something.

Price left after 6 innings with the lead but got a no-decision.

You don't want Jason Hammel? :o

My only complaint from today's game was that Hammel looked good but was suddenly gassed after only like 60 pitches in the 6th whereas price threw about 100 in 6. Hammel had two near no hitters last year so I know he can go deep into games, I'm chalking it up to first start out of St.

Congratulations, Dro. The O's won their first game.

So did the Astros.

Cheers.

I'm sticking to strategy of having sp who can pitch 200+ innings. Hammel has never gone over 180. I'm not that big of a homer.

Vin Scully. He's been around longer than time.

Vin scully is the best. Just talks without stopping. Don't think he even has a co-anchor

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/a-GgbP9C9Zk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I've said it about 5 times on here, but I watch Dodger games on MLB.TV JUST to listen to Vin Scully.

Me too.

His story about going ice skating with Jackie Robinson is amazing.

<font color=goldenrod>lollllllllll @ the Astros fans and their announcers all celebrating at the PG getting broken up.

I dunno...I feel like if my team had no chance of winning the game at that point and I was at the game live I'd rather just see history take place instead. Unless it was like a huge rival or something (Rangers and Astros are NOT huge rivals, not yet at least).</font>

Agree. That's a ticket stub you save even if it happened against your team unless it's in a game with massive implications. A 7 run game in April, that is not.

The Braves' lineup for tonight is more full of power than I've ever seen on the team. Really want Evan Gattis to be the story of the year.

I hate asking, but I don't get Padres games due to my shitty ass cable provider not wanting to pony up the dough for the new San Diego sports network. Can anyone pm me a stream or stream site, please?

:D Bradley Jr got his 1st RBI.

Buchholz has been pitching good so far.

7-0 in the 5th, Halladay 3.1 IP.

:(

Freddie Freeman is going to have a stellar year!
